Resumen
This paper reviews scientific literature about representation on migrants
in Global South media and in other parts of the world, focusing on comparative
studies in Brazil and South Africa, and providing suggestions for less Eurocentric
perspectives relating to such topic. We resort to a critical review on theoretical
references and multiple studies published between the second half of the last century
and the beginning of this century. South African comparative research through
meta-studies and their quantitative tendency —alongside French Discourse Analysis,
Bakhtinian Circle and Greimas’ influence in Brazil— indicate how this type of
research needs to be expanded in the Global South. This paper recommends the
construction of more systematic content-based analyses and the exploration of the
different degrees and forms through which balanced or patronizing portrayals on
migrants are projected in media. Dislocation from a dominant sociocognitive perspective
towards inter-semiotic/sociolinguistic approaches is advisable. This work
also suggests that Pan-Africanism, African approaches, and/or Latin-American
philosophies should be part of this foundation for migration criticism, especially if
these migratory processes are analyzed in media or communication contexts.
