In the context of ongoing refugee crisis in Europe, Serbian government and news media manage this dual position by strategically deploying different meanings of &#8220;refuge,&#8221; &#8220;asylum-seeker,&#8221; and &#8220;immigrant&#8221; to reinforce the existing social hierarchies. Consequently, these migrant groups are represented simultaneously as suffering non-Europeans, treat to state order, temporary visitors, and an evidence of Serbia&#8217;s empathy and European spirit. This presentation will map these discursive images, their implications, and development in relation to Serbia&#8217;s general political, cultural, and legal regulation of migration flows since the fall of post-socialist regime.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5698 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stetson.edu\/brown-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/facultyjelena.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"212\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/other\/faculty\/profiles\/jelena-petrovic.php\">Jelena Petrovic<\/a>, assistant professor of communication and media studies researches online news media as\u00a0representation of national imaginaries; mediating influence on identity politics across diverse and international contexts; and the discursive tensions between media structures and audiences&#8217; need to participate in institutional meaning making.
