The heightening of exclusionary practices targeting migrants during epidemics often creates dilemmas for perpetrators whose resolution undermines the foundational structures of xenophobic narratives. For many perpetrators of xenophobic acts, epidemics amplify dilemmas rooted in the chasm between neat dichotomizing exclusionary tropes and messy social realities. Escape efforts involving fabricating categories of special migrants that can be spared maltreatment undermine the homogenization and ossification of communities, and the elision of inter-communal links that are fundament to xenophobic discourses. Exclusionary practices targeting Peul migrants from Guinea in Senegal during the 2013-2016 Ebola epidemic constitutes the arena for this study.
在疫情期间，针对移民的排外行为愈演愈烈，这让实施者陷入两难境地，而他们的解决方式则破坏了仇外叙事的基本结构。对于许多仇外行为的实施者来说，疫情加剧了他们在整齐的二分法排外比喻和混乱的社会现实之间的两难困境。通过制造可以免受虐待的特殊移民类别来逃避责任的行为破坏了社区的同质化和僵化，以及仇外言论的基础——社区之间的联系的省略。本研究的研究领域是 2013-2016 年埃博拉疫情期间塞内加尔针对来自几内亚的富尔贝移民的排外行为。
