Abstract
As inhabitants of the Western world, we are daily readers of paranoid narratives that interpret migrations as movements of people who bring disruption to a “first world” which could consequently lose its “superior” position in the hierarchy of countries.
Narrators can find ways to convey the unspeakable to a community of secret knowers.
