Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Migration Metaphors.

Language and Ideologies of Right-Wing-Populism

Discussion

Populist media often provide simplistic solutions for complex problems and issues. For platforms containing such contents it is common to refer to terms like “exchange of populations” and “waves of refugees”. Such vocabulary suggests doomsday images in Europe. What is the purpose of these metaphors and terms like “remigration”? How come that they manage to establish themselves so quickly in our society? We would like to discuss this question in an interactive format, that will also involve the audience’s participation.
