Abstract:
The refugee crisis has become an important topic not only in terms of official public discourse in the printed press and online media, but also as a subject of daily conversation among citizens or discussion on social media platforms. Internet memes have recently become a popular form of expression of the attitudes and opinions of their users, which creation and distribution has become a form of participation in the debate. This article attempts to reconstruct the basic narrative, concerning the issue of refugees in the Polish virtual space, whose emanations have become internet memes.Keywords:
refugee crisis, migration, internet memes, social media platforms, public discourse
