Abstract
Humanitarian actors often present refugees as vulnerable to mobilize support. Their visual framing, in particular, moves refugees’ helplessness to the center. Critical scholars, however, argue that this representation can have exclusionary effects. In this article, we outline a research agenda to examine this claim empirically and provide initial results testing it. Based on a survey experiment, we show that vulnerability representations have significant effects on the perception of refugees as more dependent than refugees in capacity representations. These perceptions are linked to the view that refugees are economically burdensome, which, in turn, is linked to negative attitudes towards asylum seekers.
夹在脆弱与能力之间——联合国难民事务高级专员办事处对德国难民的视觉框架、经济威胁感知和对寻求庇护者的态度
人道主义行动者经常把难民说成是动员支持的弱势群体。尤其是他们的视觉框架，将难民的无助推向了中心。然而，持批评态度的学者认为，这种表现可能具有排他性效果。在本文中，我们概述了一项研究议程，以实证方式检验这一说法，并提供初步结果。基于一项调查实验，我们发现脆弱性表征对难民比能力表征中难民更依赖的感知有显著影响。这些看法与认为难民是经济负担的看法有关，而这种看法又与对寻求庇护者的消极态度有关。
