« Mise en crise » du discours du Haut-Commissariat pour les réfugiés : enjeux et formes de politisation de la cause des réfugiés

Abstract

The “migration crisis” which has placed refugees and migrants on the same migration routes calls the UN Refugee Agency’s discourse into question. This crisis implies “manufacturing a political framing of the untenable” (Angeli Aguiton et al., 2019, p. 15) in support of “crisis exit” interventions which shape the forms of politicisation of the refugee cause. The article draws on the semio-discursive analysis of UNHCR activity reports from 2015 to 2019, from the perspective of argumentation in discourse.
