Abstract

A framing analysis of Malaysian newspaper, The Star was conducted to identify narrative themes used to frame a period of escalating violence in Myanmar (2012 through 2016) that prompted the Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh. Our analysis found that the newspaper represented refugees as violent, criminal and illegal outsiders, while the host nation and its officials were cast as benevolent actors offering humanitarian aid. Rohingya people’s arrival in Malaysia was framed as a source of external and internal political debates about migration and the challenges that arise due to refugees’ mobility, porous borders, and human trafficking.

马来西亚和罗兴亚人：媒体、移民和政治

摘要

对马来西亚报纸《星报》进行了框架分析，以确定用于描述缅甸暴力升级时期（2012 年至 2016 年）的叙事主题，该时期促使罗兴亚人逃往孟加拉国。我们的分析发现，该报将难民描述为暴力、犯罪和非法的局外人，而东道国及其官员则被描述为提供人道主义援助的仁慈行为者。罗兴亚人抵达马来西亚被认为是有关移民以及由于难民流动、边境漏洞和人口贩卖而产生的挑战的外部和内部政治辩论的来源。
