| Abstract [eng] |
Neither "expulsion" nor "deportation" appears in five years of European Commission discourse on migration; removal is consistently described as "return". This thesis examines how the deportable migrant is constructed in that discourse and in European cinema between 2020 and 2025, applying Critical Discourse Analysis to speeches by four Commission actors and to four European films. It finds that expulsion is constructed as a functioning system in the political discourse and a personal difficulty in the films, and that each field largely remains within its own terms. |
