Viewing Refugees and Immigrants Through the Lens of Visual and Affective Politics
The ways in which human beings are depicted in the media have far-reaching consequences for our attitudes towards them, their well-being and our democracies. We present new multidisciplinary findings on the neural, cognitive and affective processes that underlie the dehumanization of refugees and immigrants across different countries and cultures.
