The number of refugees worldwide has reached an all-time high. The responses to refugees vary depending on the countries they are seeking refuge in. This study uses Fairclough's three-dimensional model to analyze the Sweden Democrats' portrayal of refugees, with a particular focus on the difference between Ukrainian refugees and overseas refugees. By exploring textual analysis, discursive practice and social practice, the study highlights the rhetoric used to create contrasting images of different refugee groups, as well as the underlying ideological and political assumptions that characterize this discourse. The results show that the Sweden Democrats' portrayal of refugees can contribute to deepening the polarization around migration issues in Sweden. Furthermore, the study reveals that this portrayal can have major consequences for shaping public attitudes and political decision-making processes Although this study contributes important insights into how refugee discourses are shaped and used politically, it also highlights the need for further research, particularly comparative studies of similar discourses in other European countries. |
