Abstract Since the onset of the Greek economic crisis in 2010, thousands of highly educated and skilled Greeks have migrated abroad in search of better career prospects and living standards. This recent migratory wave has been termed ‛new’ Greek migration (Panagiotopoulou et al., 2019). The lives of new Greek migrants are characterised by a melange of conflicting emotions: loss of belonging, irritation at Greek policies and mentalities, and suffering for the family who remains in Greece facing the crisis, on the one hand; hopes of new beginnings and potential for new opportunities and fulfilling one's goals in the host country, on the other. Drawing on insights from the constructionist approach to emotions, discourse analysis, and online ethnography, this paper looks at how a new Greek migrant in the UK conveys across social media his emotions towards specific events and people both in Greece and the UK. The findings showcase social media's vital role in allowing, mobilising and sharing affective expression. They also shed light on the broader discursive and emotional aspects of new Greek migration.

社交媒体话语中的情绪和移民:一个新的希腊移民案例研究

摘要 自 2010 年希腊经济危机爆发以来,数以千计受过高等教育和技能娴熟的希腊人移居国外,以寻求更好的职业前景和生活水平。最近的这一波移民潮被称为‛新的希腊移民(Panagiotopoulou 等人,2019 年)。新希腊移民的生活充满了矛盾的情绪:一方面,失去归属感,对希腊政策和心态感到恼火,以及留在希腊面临危机的家庭的痛苦;另一方面,希望新的开始和新机遇的潜力,以及在东道国实现自己的目标。借鉴建构主义方法对情感、话语分析和在线民族志的见解,本文着眼于英国的新希腊移民如何通过社交媒体传达他对希腊和英国的特定事件和人物的情感。调查结果展示了社交媒体在允许、动员和分享情感表达方面的重要作用。他们还阐明了新希腊移民更广泛的话语和情感方面。
