ABSTRACT

This article discusses experiences harvested when communicating migration research from an academic position as media researcher, partly influenced by other positions. It discusses transnational literacy illustrated by the case of Afghanistan and Afghan refugee experiences, arguing for a more holistic contextual approach to the phenomenon of flight and all its processes. A critical human rights perspective in media research proves useful guidance to approaching marginalisation and the ‘silenced other’. This also entails a critical approach to methodological nationalism and media domestication, and ‘unlearning privilege as loss’. Furthermore, it discusses how researchers within certain fields (such as migration) may be associated with (or accused of) political correctness.

摘要

本文讨论了从媒体研究员的学术职位交流移民研究时收获的经验，部分受其他职位的影响。它讨论了以阿富汗和阿富汗难民经历为例的跨国扫盲，主张对逃亡现象及其所有过程采取更全面的背景方法。媒体研究中的批判性人权观点证明是处理边缘化和“沉默的他人”的有用指导。这也需要对方法论民族主义和媒体驯化以及“忘记特权作为损失”采取批判性方法。此外，它还讨论了某些领域（如移民）的研究人员如何与（或被指责）政治正确有关。
