ABSTRACT

News narratives about immigration shape not only constructions of immigrants but of nation states. Through a critical content analysis informed by intersectionality and queer of color critique, this study explores how the news coverage of undocumented LGBTQ immigrants and the Undocuqueer Movement render distorted and incomplete constructions of these immigrants, their struggles and activism. Furthermore, the analysis shows how selective (mis)representations and erasures in the coverage contribute to the constitution of a homonationalist reimagination of the United States. Additionally, the paper makes the case for the incorporation of transnational sensibilities to enhance intersectional approaches to reporting.

摘要

关于移民的新闻叙述不仅塑造了移民的结构，也塑造了民族国家。通过交叉性和酷儿色彩批评的批判性内容分析，本研究探讨了无证 LGBTQ 移民和无证同性恋者运动的新闻报道如何呈现这些移民的扭曲和不完整的结构，他们的斗争和激进主义。此外，分析显示了报道中的选择性（错误）陈述和删除如何促成对美国的同民族主义重新想象的构成。此外，本文还提出了纳入跨国敏感性以加强报告的交叉方法的案例。
