Abstract

On March 12, 2020, the Ukrainian citizen Ihor Homenyuk died, having been abused and tortured while in the custody of the Foreigners and Borders Office in Lisbon airport. This crime exposed what several NGOs and institutional reports had long denounced: the climate of impunity that enabled the denial of basic human rights to immigrants in closed spaces at the Portuguese border. Understanding the media as a pivotal place of both reflection and production of social meaning, this article examines the media coverage of this case and identifies the narratives that the case fuelled and the agendas by which it was co-opted. It explores how the public invisibility of violence at Portugal’s borders, Portuguese imaginaries regarding Eastern European immigrants, and current understandings of racism helped frame the case as one of police brutality rather than as a racist crime. We aim to highlight the role of the Schengen border in the reconfiguration of racialized vulnerability and the (re)production of global hierarchies.

种族化边境暴力的可见性?一名乌克兰人在里斯本机场被杀
2020年3月12日,乌克兰公民Ihor Homenyuk在里斯本机场被外国人和边境办公室拘留期间受到虐待和酷刑,最终死亡。这一罪行暴露了几个非政府组织和机构的报告长期以来所谴责的:有罪不罚的气氛使得在葡萄牙边境的封闭空间里,移民的基本人权被剥夺。将媒体理解为反映和生产社会意义的关键场所,本文考察了该案件的媒体报道,并确定了该案件所推动的叙事和被采纳的议程。它探讨了公众对葡萄牙边境暴力的忽视,葡萄牙人对东欧移民的想象,以及当前对种族主义的理解如何帮助将此案定性为警察暴行而不是种族主义犯罪。我们的目标是强调申根边界在种族化脆弱性的重构和全球等级制度的(重新)产生中的作用。
