Abstract

ABSTRACT This research analyses textual and visual representations of immigrants in government-produced texts and investigates how such depictions aid in the production of the stranger discourse. How immigrants are discussed and portrayed has an impact on how immigrant populations are perceived and treated in their host countries. By using postcolonial theory and conducting a Foucauldian critical discourse analysis (CDA), we analyse argumentative strategies through which the host and immigrant populations are portrayed, and how the politics of difference is constructed and normalized. We critically evaluate such representations for their discursive functions which contribute to immigrants’ socio-economic marginalization and racialization.

陌生人的创造——在加拿大政府制作的文本中，将移民重塑为他者的过程

摘要本研究分析了政府制作的文本中移民的文本和视觉表征，并探讨了这些描述如何有助于陌生人话语的产生。移民的讨论和描述方式对移民在东道国的看法和待遇产生了影响。通过使用后殖民理论并进行傅式批判性话语分析（CDA），我们分析了描述东道国和移民人口的辩论策略，以及差异政治是如何构建和规范的。我们批判性地评估了这些表征的话语功能，这些话语功能有助于移民的社会经济边缘化和种族化。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
