Securitization of Migration in European Cultural Security
Abstract
Securitization is an intersubjective and intertextual process of incorporating specific topics into the security sphere. It is defined as an act of speech, based on the premise that language can not only convey information, but also create social facts. Incorporating specific topics into the security realm by the securitization process demonstrates that reality is a social construct in which language and image play an important role. In Europe, the fear of ‘others’ is growing. It is a consequence of the dynamic and unprecedented scale of human flows. This threat is also a consequence of the effective securitization of migration process. In the political and social debate more and more questions are emerging about the future of Europe. How will migratory processes change the cultural face of Europe? Does immigration endanger the cultural identity of Europe?
