dc.description.abstract | This study examines how discursive polarization between majority
populations and so-called non-Western immigrant identities is enabled via
verbal and visual metaphors in outputs by the Human Rights Service
(HRS), a prominent Norwegian extreme-right media outlet. Focusing
especially on the HRS’s use of visual primary metaphors of cold and
darkness, a contribution is made to the existing literature regarding how
right-wing outlets construct an image of immigrants and Muslims as
threatening Others. As such, the potential polarizing outcomes of the HRS’s
visual primary metaphors are theorized to arise from a capacity to invite
certain forms of embodied cognition and implicitly associate the target
identities with a range of negative emotions. Ultimately, the HRS’s visual
primary metaphors of cold and darkness are best understood as
polarization vehicles that tacitly support anti-social biases by leveraging the
rapidity and efficiency with which subjects can respond emotionally to
visual information—especially fear triggers. | en_US |
