Identidades em trânsito na narrativa jornalística: percepções dos deslocamentos contemporâneos de turistas e migrantes

Abstract

This study aims to determine how identity and cultural experiences are experienced by subjects on the move – migrants and tourists – as well as how they are represented by the journalistic narratives, bearing in mind that journalism is a trader of (re) constructions of social reality. The theoretical Approach was based upon the concepts of social construction of reality, representation, identities, tourism, journalism, hospitality, city and citizenship. In order to conduct research in these matters authors such as Peter Berger, Thomas Luckmann, Erving Goffman, Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabha, Nelson Traquina, Francisco Ortega, Susana Gastal, Paulo Freire among many others were consulted. The research uses Lawrence Bardin‘s semantic content analysis to make inferences about the proposed theoretical framework. Thus, analyses were carried out on the cover stories about New York from Brazilian magazine Viagem e Turismo published by Abril and interviews of immigrants from the book Nova York do Oiapoque ao Chuí: relatos de brasileiros na cidade que nunca dorme, written by the journalist Tania Menai and published by Casa da Palavra. The content submitted for analysis focused on the categories Source, Destination and Cultural Hybridism, hence it was possible to observe aspects of identity construction of abroad and the nation as well to reflect upon the social interactions of hospitality in the context of the city with its potentialities, among which the acquisition of an intercultural citizenship, together with forms of representation in the journalistic narrative
