ABSTRACT This article explores popular media as resources for judgment in how settled migrants in Europe imagine solidarities toward newer arrivals seeking entry into the region. It discusses the news and entertainment consumption of Filipino nurses in London and how this figures in their imaginary of social and political bonds with refugees. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, I argue that these Filipino migrants can only articulate a compromised solidarity: one fractured between empathy with refugees and concern about what these newer arrivals might mean for settled migrants in the city. I then explain how the media contribute to this fracturing. One way is that the xenophobia in popular media content on social media leads the Filipinos to assert their difference with other migrants, including refugees. A second is that the Filipinos deploy popular media content, especially on British television, to assert that they belong to UK society more than other migrants, again including refugees.

调解妥协的团结

摘要 本文探讨了大众媒体作为判断欧洲定居移民如何想象对寻求进入该地区的新移民的团结的判断资源。它讨论了菲律宾护士在伦敦的新闻和娱乐消费,以及这在他们与难民的社会和政治联系的想象中是如何体现的。根据人种学访谈,我认为这些菲律宾移民只能表达一种妥协的团结:一种在对难民的同情和对这些新来者对城市定居移民意味着什么的担忧之间分裂。然后我解释了媒体如何促成这种分裂。一种方式是社交媒体上流行媒体内容中的仇外心理导致菲律宾人与其他移民(包括难民)保持不同。
