摘要

背景：2013年，加拿大的临时外籍工人因涉嫌取代加拿大工人而成为公众和媒体关注的焦点。尽管从事类似的职业类别，但有一组工人逃脱了同样的审查——加拿大国际经验协会（IEC）的参与者，主要是来自欧洲、澳大利亚和新西兰的白人和年轻工人。分析：本文探讨了白人幽灵对当代加拿大移民治理的意义，并采用了批判性话语分析，关注了加拿大两家和爱尔兰两家新闻媒体对IEC项目的精选头版报道的基调。结论和影响：IEC白人参与者的覆盖范围有限，使他们免受种族化TFW的负面审查。“爱尔兰人”成了加拿大国籍中白人的无限变化的替身。

Invisibility while under Scrutiny: Media Portrayals of White Temporary Foreign Workers

Background: Temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in Canada became the focus of public and media scrutiny in 2013 for allegedly replacing Canadian workers. One group of workers escaped the same scrutiny despite working in similar occupational categories—International Experience Canada (IEC) participants, primarily White and young workers from a variety of European countries, Australia, and New Zealand. Analysis: This article explores the significance of the spectre of Whiteness to contemporary Canadian migration governance and employs critical discourse analysis paying attention to the tone of select front-page coverage of the IEC program in two Canadian and two Irish news outlets. Conclusions and implications: The limited coverage of ethnically White IEC participants shielded them from the negative scrutiny experienced by racialized TFWs. “Irish” became a stand-in for the infinite variability of Whiteness in Canadian nationhood.
