Sažetak
The phenomenon of migration and the experience of migrants is impossible to summarize even when we go into specifics. Diverse sociological, religious, and political approaches have produced a large volume of literature and research. This article is a modest attempt at partial understanding and maintains a limited scope. Research on language is to some extent rendered impossible, as it posits an understanding of language as a complete experience of communication. Hence, the term language is limited here to the definition of television language formulated by Neil Postman. We leave aside the language of media as a generic term for all the actual means of communication, which goes beyond the language of television. The term ‘migrant’ also does not include sociological, religious, political and anthropological interpretation but is limited to the fields of news
and entertainment. Even the terms of news and entertainment are understood in the sense defined by art theorist Boris Groys and philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky. Hence the scope and purpose of the present article is not a comprehensive attempt at some sort of final interpretation of the reality of the migrant experience through a hermenautical approach. Rather, the article is a synthesis of views by three authors in a narrow context limited by the terms ‘the language of television’, ‘news’ and ‘entertainment’, so that discussion of the migrant phenomenon can be continued and developed into new and different views and interpretations.
