Abstract(s)
O discurso mediático é um elemento de grande relevância na construção da imagem do Outro e, assim sendo, os media assumem uma função determinante nas relações interculturais.
A imagem de Portugal e dos portugueses disseminada nas notícias sobre a crise
financeira é de teor negativo. Os portugueses são exclusivamente associados a um conjunto de atributos não apreciados no contexto europeu, como a pobreza, a desorganização, corrupção ou preguiça. O discurso mediático no âmbito da crise
portuguesa é também caracterizado pelo protagonismo de personalidades e instituições
estrangeiras ligadas a estruturas europeias de poder e pela quase total ausência de
cidadãos portugueses comuns.
Portugal é ainda apresentado em paralelo com outros países em dificuldades, principalmente com a Grécia e a Espanha. É frequente a utilização de uma terminologia
coletiva para descrever o grupo dos países em crise. Esta terminologia revela um caráter
pejorativo.
O discurso mediático assume, muitas vezes, uma função moralizadora, procurando identificar os responsáveis pela crise e encarando a austeridade como a “pena” que levará à reabilitação do país. Nesta dinâmica há uma clara demarcação do
“nós” em relação ao Outro, na qual o Outro é duplamente estereotipado, por ser diferente e por ser pobre.
The media discourse is an element of great importance in image formation of the Other and, therefore, the media assume a decisive role in intercultural relations. The image of Portugal and the Portuguese society spread in the news about the financial crisis 2011 is negative. The Portuguese are exclusively associated with a set of attributes not appreciated in the European scale of values, such as poverty, disorganization, corruption or laziness. The media discourse within the Portuguese crisis is also dominated by the prominence of foreign institutions and personalities linked to European structures of power. In the same time there is almost total absence of common Portuguese citizens in the media. Portugal is also presented together with other countries facing financial crisis, mainly Greece and Spain. Common terminology is being used to describe the group of countries facing the crisis. This terminology is often pejorative. The media discourse takes often a function of moralization, trying to identify those who are responsible for the crisis and presenting austerity as a "penalty" that will lead to rehabilitation of the country. In this dynamic there is a clear demarcation of 'we' in relation to the Other in which the Other is presented in double stereotype - for being different and for being poor.
