Migration moves people, ideas and things. Migration shakes up
political scenes and instigates new social movements. It redraws
emotional landscapes and reshapes social networks, with traditional
and digital media enabling, representing, and shaping the
processes, relationships and people on the move. The deep
entanglement of media and migration expands across the fields of
political, cultural and social life. For example, migration is
increasingly digitally tracked and surveilled, and national and
international policy-making draws on data on migrant movement,
anticipated movement, and biometrics to maintain a sense of control
over the mobilities of humans and things. Also, social imaginaries
are constituted in highly mediated environments where information
and emotions on migration are constantly shared on social and
traditional media. Both, those migrating and those receiving them,
turn to media and communicative practices to learn how to make
sense of migration and to manage fears and desires associated with
cross-border mobility in an increasingly porous but also controlled
and divided world. The SAGE Handbook of Media and Migration offers
a comprehensive overview of media and migration through new
research, as well as a review of present scholarship in this
expanding and promising field. It explores key interdisciplinary
concepts and methodologies, and how these are challenged by new
realities and the links between contemporary migration patterns and
its use of mediated processes. Although primarily grounded in media
and communication studies, the Handbook builds on research in the
fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, urban
studies, science and technology studies, human rights, development
studies, and gender and sexuality studies, to bring to the
forefront key theories, concepts and methodological approaches to
the study of the movement of people. In seven parts, the Handbook
dissects important areas of cross-disciplinary and generational
discourse for graduate students, early career researcher, migration
management practitioners, and academics in the fields of media and
migration studies, international development, communication
studies, and the wider social science discipline. Part One:
Keywords and Legacies Part Two: Methodologies Part Three:
Communities Part Four: Representations Part Five: Borders and
Rights Part Six: Spatialities Part Seven: Conflicts
