Resumen
Este artigo analisa como a mídia britânica contribui para a estigmatização e criminalização de refugiados, requerentes de asilo e imigrantes islâmicos. A partir do conceito de estigma de Erving Goffman (1963) e de releituras de Imogen Tyler (2018a, 2020) e Arun Kundnani (2001, 2014), argumenta-se que o estigma opera como ferramenta de governança, reproduzindo estruturas de exclusão e racialização. Desde a crise migratória de 2015, a cobertura midiática no Reino Unido consolidou enquadramentos que associam imigrantes à criminalidade, ao terrorismo e à ameaça sanitária. Adaptação de dissertação de mestrado que observou esse discurso entre 2016 e 2020 em jornais e tabloides britânicos, o artigo mostra como ele se estruturou e se consolidou. O estudo adota abordagem teórico-analítica, com revisão bibliográfica crítica e análise qualitativa de materiais jornalísticos britânicos. Conclui-se que a mídia atua como agente central na produção de estigmas contemporâneos.
