Sammendrag
This thesis is a discourse analysis of the Norwegian media debates on refugees at two peak moments in Norwegian refugee history. The research is conducted through analysis of articles published in the paper versions of the three national Norwegian newspapers VG, Aftenposten, and Klassekampen in September 2015 and March 2022. Drawing upon Lene Hansen’s Security as practice: Discourse analysis and the Bosnian war (2006), this thesis focuses on identity constructions and media representations of the Other in relation to the Self. The main analytical research question of the thesis is What identity constructions are articulated in the Norwegian media debate on refugees, during September 2015 and March 2022?
