Abstract

This paper focuses on media representation of the conflict in Ukraine through the language of hate and violence and the creation of the image of the enemy. We will make a comparative analysis of the narratives of Ukrainian and Russian national media followed by the recently emerged information channels used by insurgents in Eastern Ukraine. We will then analyze the European Union’s vision on the Ukrainian crisis and observe which discourse it chooses. While studying the conflict, we will attempt to approach it from the perspectives of different academic areas: conflict studies, mass communication studies and memory studies.
