Abstract

Within a wider research line on policy-driven institutional discourses on migration by international/national institutions, NGO and political leaders, this contribution is aimed at illustrating the bipolarized social representations of immigrants inspiring 24 speeches by Pope Francis and US President Donald Trump. Statistical analyses using IRAMUTEQ included "specificity analysis" of discursive forms (words) and "cluster analysis." Results show that the Pope's discourse on migration (articulated into four clusters) is richer than the oversimplified Trump's discourse (originating just one cluster): the words "bridges" and "walls" emerge as representational nuclei of their bipolarized views of transnational migration, as metaphorical dichotomies of inclusive/exclusive policies. Emphasizing the need to build walls to protect the Americans, inspired by the sovereign ideology (AMERICA FIRST!), President Trump does not at all suspect that in the globalized interconnected world the AMERICA FIRST may become just AMERICA ALONE!

桥还是墙?教皇方济各与唐纳德·特朗普对跨国移民的看法的隐喻性二分法。

在国际/国家机构、非政府组织和政治领导人对移民政策驱动的制度性话语的更广泛研究范围内，这一贡献旨在说明移民的两极化社会表征，这激发了教皇弗朗西斯和美国总统唐纳德特朗普的24次演讲。使用IRAMUTEQ的统计分析包括话语形式(词)的“特异性分析”和“聚类分析”。结果表明，教皇关于移民的论述(分为四个集群)比过于简化的特朗普的论述(仅起源于一个集群)更丰富:“桥梁”和“墙壁”这两个词成为他们对跨国移民的两极化观点的代表性核心，作为包容性/排他性政策的隐喻性两分法。在主权意识形态(美国优先!)的激励下，特朗普总统强调需要修建隔离墙来保护美国人，他一点也不怀疑，在全球化的相互联系的世界里，美国优先可能会变成美国孤独!

期刊介绍： The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
