| Résumé : | This research analyses discourse of state-induced return (Kosh, 2014) at European level. The aim is to investigate how the lexical series of terms using a prefix expressing repetition or intensity serves European external policies. This paradigm of terms beginning with RE- (which includes resettlement, reintegration and readmission) is increasingly used in UNHCR and IOM discourse as well as in European directives.Indeed, readmission and resettlement are two of the three durable solutions proposed by international agencies (Arar & FitzGerald, 2022) that are supported by all actors in society, from civil associations to political actors (Tissier-Raffin, 2018: 79). These discourses are embedded in an international rhetoric (Gobin, 2011) that smooths the discourse (Ogier & Ollivier-Yaniv, 2006: 67) in order to build a consensus (Rist, 2002b: 15) between European member states and manage migratory flows at lower cost under the guise of humanitarian intervention (Chimni, 2004: 58).In order to study the emergence of this paradigm and to understand how migration policies are put in place, what their objectives are and how they circulate in social discourse, a vast corpus of texts from institutional organisations and the voluntary sector will be collected in three countries (Belgium, Spain and England) and four languages. This data set will be supplemented by interviews with key members of staff. This large corpus will be analysed in the light of discourse analysis concepts (Lecolle et al., 2018) and implemented with corpus linguistics tools (Baker et al., 2008). This communication will detail how the paradigm of terms beginning with the prefix RE- serves European foreign policy objectives and how it softens the discourse to build consensus and avoid social disorder around the global issue of migration. |
