Avtor v članku analizira poročanje o »begunski krizi« v treh osrednjih slovenskih dnevnih časopisih, Delu, Dnevniku in Večeru, v obdobju, ki so ga novinarji poimenovali »prvi in drugi begunski val«. Pri analizi se osredotoča na uokvirjanje problematike in na prevladujoče novinarske konvencije, s katerimi se uprizarja objektivnost, pri čemer skuša prikazati temeljno protislovje pri poročanju o »begunski krizi«. Na eksplicitni ravni je namreč v dnevnih časopisih problem z distanciranim poročanjem prevladujoče uokvirjen s humanitarno krizo, v redkih primerih tudi z varnostno grožnjo, na konotativni ravni pa se z značilnostma poročanja, kot sta faktizem in epizodičnost, utrjuje prevladujoči strah pred množičnostjo beguncev. Poleg tega v poročanju prihaja tudi do odmika od konvencij objektivnosti in bolj angažiranega poročanja, kjer dnevne novice z zatekanjem k arhetipskim podobam herojev delujejo podobno kot mit.

Germany’s asylum policy and the debate surrounding it underwent a significant shift in 2015 when asylum applications increased considerably over previous years. Rather than moving towards more restriction, as was the case in the past when asylum applications saw a substantial rise, the German government responded towards refugees in an open and welcoming manner. This article will analyse the developments which led to the German government’s “we can manage it” response, using a conceptual framework which considers structural and agency concerns and the interconnection between the two. The framework centres on processes within the party political system and the way they were or were not influenced by developments and structures in the wider socio-political and economic environment and by politicians’ perceptions, beliefs and goals. The findings show that a new alliance was formed between the conservative CDU party and the social democratic SPD party, reflecting a political debate on asylum seekers and refugees which combined an explicit humanitarianism within Germany with a hierarchical classification of migrants who were “more or less needy” of protection, limiting the explicit humanitarianism within Germany to specific groups of migrants and refugees.

The objective of the research is to describe the return migration process in a Romanian rural community; we will focus here on the identity changes experienced by community members who recently returned from Italy. We conducted this instrumental case study in Drăguş, Brasov County, where we performed extensive observations. We identified all the persons who have permanently returned from Italy and studied the perceived identity effects of their migration experience. We also collected data through narrative interviews; the data was analyzed by means of coding techniques, and the results are ethnographic reflections of return migration focusing mostly on the way the identity of our participants was shaped by the experience of migration and returning to the original community.

This article discusses the topic of representations of memories through art using an interdisciplinary approach that connects contributions from the fields of anthropology and art history to the research problems of art and creative processes. Considering the artistic world of the Croatian painter Zdravko Dučmelić in Argentina as a case study, the main aim of the article is to explore how the sum of the acquired artistic/aesthetic habitus that mediated his artistic activities, memories and personal experiences was combined in the artist’s creative process. To this end we will present the formation of Dučmelić’s artistic and aesthetic habitus, and his insertion into the Argentinian sociocultural and artistic context, in order to explore Dučmelić’s creative process, paying special attention to the way that personal experiences, emotional stimuli and memories were resignified into artistic, symbolic and oneiric images.
