Abstract

Since the early 1990s, Chile has become a regionally relevant immigrant receiving country. This increase in immigration, the largest in the country’s history, has encountered distinct responses from the state, civil society, and—particularly—printed media. Using a thematic analysis of 134 articles published between 1991 and 2001, I argue that Chilean newspapers framed the portrayals of recent immigrants within the historical construction of the late 19^th-century European migration to Chile as well as by a belief of racial superiority of Chileans with relation to its northern neighbors. Compared to more recent analysis, these point to a larger trend of anti-immigrant representations in Chilean newspapers.

摘要

自 1990 年代初以来，智利已成为区域相关的移民接收国。这种移民的增加是该国历史上最大的一次，受到了国家、民间社会，尤其是印刷媒体的不同回应。通过对 1991 年至 2001 年间发表的 134 篇文章的主题分析，我认为智利报纸在 19 世纪晚期欧洲移民智利的历史建构以及智利人的种族优越感的信念中，对新移民的描绘进行了^构架。相对于它的北方邻居。与最近的分析相比，这些表明智利报纸上出现了更大的反移民趋势。
