Die Idee wurde von st\u00e4dtischen Entscheidungstr\u00e4gern aufgegriffen, die einen Umsetzungspfad entwickelten, der im Mai 2022 in einer Volksabstimmung knapp angenommen wurde. Die ZCC ist ein Projekt, das in der Urban Citizenship verwurzelt ist, einem Konzept, das in akademischen und aktivistischen Diskursen als geeignet beschrieben wird, die Hegemonie nationalstaatlich sanktionierter Staatsb\u00fcrgerschafts- und Migrationsregime zu durchbrechen. Die der ZCC beteiligten Akteure bezeichneten das Projekt als pragmatischen Ansatz, um der zunehmend restriktiven nationalen und europ\u00e4ischen Migrationspolitik entgegenzuwirken. Sie beabsichtigten, das Projekt zu nutzen, um eine breitere \u00f6ffentliche Debatte \u00fcber Demokratisierung zu f\u00f6rdern. Mithilfe eines medienanalytischen Ansatzes, der auf den Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) beruht, wird in dieser Arbeit untersucht, wie die ZCC im Mediendiskurs dargestellt wurde, wie dieser Diskurs zusammengesetzt wurde, und welche Rolle Mediendiskurse im politischen Prozess und bei der Aushandlung von Urban Imaginaries, in sie eingebettet waren, spielten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This thesis examines media discourse generated by the Z\u00fcri City Card (ZCC), a municipal ID card<br \/>\nproposal in Zurich, Switzerland which started in activist circles in 2017. The idea was adopted by<br \/>\nmunicipal policy makers, who developed an implementation pathway which was narrowly approved in a municipal referendum in May 2022. The ZCC is a project rooted in urban citizenship, a concept described in academic and activist discourses as capable of disrupting the hegemony of nation-state sanctioned citizenship and migration regimes. Actors involved in the ZCC framed the project as a pragmatic approach to counter increasingly restrictive national and European migration policies. They intended to use the project to foster wider public debate about<br \/>\ndemocratization. Through a media analysis approach rooted in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS),<br \/>\nthis thesis analyzes how the ZCC was featured in media discourse, how this discourse was<br \/>\nassembled, as well as what role media discourse played in the policy process and in negotiating<br \/>\nurban imaginaries in which it was embedded. ZCC media discourse emerged in 2017 and evolved<br \/>\nin parallel to the policymaking process. The ZCC was negotiated as an issue of municipal policy.<br \/>\nIt was also often related to undocumented migrants. The ZCC was portrayed as a local project<br \/>\nformulated in opposition to the politics of higher levels of governance, and as an outcome of<br \/>\npolicy mobility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Nouri Abdelgadir Source : https:\/\/www.4cities.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Abdelgadir_Nouri_Master_Thesis_full_English_Final.pdf Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[739,50,70,252,9,319,66,618,36,123,113,90,103,437,91,340,315,246],"class_list":["post-36476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-739","tag-asylum-seekers","tag-citizenship","tag-democracy","tag-english-language","tag-master-thesis","tag-migration","tag-migration-management","tag-migration-policy","tag-political-participation","tag-public-administration","tag-reception-policy","tag-refugees","tag-resilience","tag-social-integration","tag-social-support","tag-welfare-state","tag-zurich"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36476\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
