IVANOVA, Anna y BURON RODRIGUEZ, Lucero. Visual Representation of Migrant Women in the Chilean National Press. Migr. Inter [online]. 2023, vol.14, rmiv1i12734. Epub 23-Mar-2024. ISSN 2594-0279. https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2734.
Media representation is crucial because all knowledge of political and social issues is inevitably and inherently mediated. The main objective of this article is to analyze the visual representation of migrant women during the period 2015-2019 in three Chilean newspapers: El Mercurio, La Tercera, and Publimetro. To achieve this objective, a corpus of 705 photographs published in these newspapers was examined using visual analysis methodology. The results show that migrant women are visually circumscribed within larger collectives, during travel, transit, and border crossings; at times they are also depicted in relation to work and housing, as well as their country of origin and these representations often involve racialized markers; and, in some cases, portray them from a maternal or wife role. Thus, it is concluded that these visual represetantions position migrant women as another passive individuals without agency.
