Through visual analysis, the book demonstrates how the securitization process takes place in three different ways. First of all, even if marginally, it occurs through the reproduction of mainstream media and political accounts that have depicted refugees in terms of threats. Secondly, and more consistently, through a representation of Syrian displaced people that, despite the undeniable innovative aesthetic patterns focusing on dignity and empowerment, continue to reinforce a visual narrative around refugees in terms of victimhood and passivity. The reproduction of a securitized account takes also place through the dialectic between what is made visible in the pictures and what is not. At the same time the book identifies visual glimmers and minor displacements in the humanitarian discourse that have the potentiality to produce alternative discourses on refugees and displacement beyond the mainstream securitized ones. By showing how relief organizations’ visual representation contributes to the securitization of the refugee issue, this book provides a great resource to students and academics in migration, visuality, humanitarianism and securitization, as well as social scientists and policy-makers. 2021-06-14T09:29:56Z 2021-06-14T09:29:56Z 2021 book ONIX_20210614_9783030711436_19 9783030711436 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/49515 eng IMISCOE Research Series application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9783030711436.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783658334376 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-71143-6 10.1007/978-3-030-71143-6 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 52a6fb74-1bc6-435a-926a-aca9e5565253 9783030711436 Springer 204 [grantnumber unknown] open access
