Por meio de uma Análise de Conteúdo Qualitativa referente a cinco meses dos telejornais Jornal Nacional e Jornal da Record e, posteriormente, a uma Análise de Discurso de quatro peças, foi possível verificar que esses meios não tem o cuidado de diferenciar as variações existentes dentro das migrações, como os refugiados, por exemplo, atualmente protagonistas de grandes conflitos. Para embasar teoricamente o estudo foram utilizadas as Teorias da Comunicação e a hipótese de Agenda-Setting, assim como a influência de agências internacionais na pauta da mídia nacional e as Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici.

Articulating several guiding empirical questions, we will attempt to show that the continuing centrality in the (politico-economic, relational, and cultural) logic of the particular nation-state in which Ismaili business activities are embedded, the notion of a disadvantageous network closure, concomitant with the importance of face-to-face contacts, the mutual trust and understanding sustained through personal relations, and the tendency for national loyalty to prevail over religious belonging (whenever any potential conflict between the two exists) constitute crucial dimensions of an accumulated tacit knowledge (functional, behavioural, identitarian) which is s...

This uncertainty-worsened by a structural doubt regarding the value of the Indian way of thinking and acting-stimulated a process of paranoidization. Especially in the final years of Salazar's regime, this discursive denial of reciprocity competed with an alternative model of representation of colonial society, characterised by a repetitive use of micro-familial positions in the conceptualization of Imperial encounters. However, this model cannot be discounted as an autistic production of colonial power, mirrored by certain social groups, namely, the leaders of the main Indian communities. We will accordingly explore the hypothesis of a co-authorship, both in the gradual recognition of mutual relations between the Portuguese and Indians, and in the emergence of the familybased model of colonial relations itself.

In-depth interviews with, as well as participant observation among Cape Verdean and Indo-Mozambican migrant families settled in Portugal provide insight into the way in which mothering double bind interactions influence the dynamics of change and resistance involved in the gendered identities of their adult sons and daughters. In the analysis, we draw upon Bateson's dynamical theory about communication, as well as on theories of Psychological Anthropology that reiterate an intersecting dialectic of levels at which ambivalence exists and structures human experience. We argue that confusing or conflicting messages in the mother-child communication are an integral part of a differentiation process (schismogenesis) structured by socio-cultural contradictions that are yet amplified in a context of migration.
