Media „Installation“ of Refugees in Public Space: Practices and Policies
Media „Installation“ of Refugees in Public Space: Practices and Policies

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with a serious and contemporary problem that refers to three significant sociological phenomena: the media “installation” in contemporary society, the refugees as a marginalized group, who were part of the reality of our spaces and the public “discourse”. The paper starts from the view that the media in the global society are one of the most influential factors that create the public opinion and from the content aspect shape the media space and set the appropriate media installation. On the other hand, refugees as marginalized sections of the population are a kind of challenge facing modern democratic societies, as well as societies in transition. In this context, the media were put before a test for the proper treatment of one category of marginalized refugee groups. The media installation of refugees in the public space was a kind of attempt to break down the myth of refugees’ media invisibility as a marginalized group and disprove their media establishment in the public space.
