Il tema dell’immigrazione, centrale nelle ultime campagne elettorali di tutti i paesi europei ha conquistato spazio e visibilità anche nel dibattito della stampa italiana. Come il dibattito politico anche quello dell’opinione pubblica e della stampa si presenta fortemente polarizzato: l’immigrato è l’ angelo da salvare o l’anima nera da demonizzare. Il paper, che fa parte di una ricerca che durerà fino al 2019 ripercorre attraverso gli articoli queste diverse immagini. Lo svuotamento dell’opinione pubblica ha creato intorno all’immigrato uno spazio simbolico in cui si proietta la visione del presente e del futuro della democrazia.

Abstract
The topic of immigration, central to the latest electoral campaigns of all European countries, has gained space and visibility also in the Italian PUBIC debate. Like the specifically political debate, even that taking place in the public sphere and the press is strongly polarized: the immigrant is the angel to be saved or the black soul to be demonized. The paper, which is part of a research that will last until 2019, traces these different images y analyzing newspaper articles. The emptying of public opinion has created around the immigrant a symbolic space in which the vision of the present and of the future of democracy is projected.
