Repertorios interpretativos del comerciante informal venezolano en la red social Twitter

Venezuelan migration within Latin America is considered the most significant migratory phenomenon in recent years and Peru has not been unaffected by this phenomenon. The Venezuelan community in Peru is often the victim of xenophobic and racist processes motivated by associations with the informal sector and the use of public spaces. Rejection is frequently expressed across different types of media, particularly by users of social networks. The aim of this article is to analyze, from a discursive psychological approach, the interpretative repertoires constructed in order to discursively express the rejection by Peruvian users aimed at Venezuelan informal traders via the social network Twitter. To this end, we selected a set of representative tweets in which such rejection of Venezuelan informal traders is made explicit. The results indicate the use of three main interpretative repertoires: invaders of public spaces, criminalization and nationalism-belonging.
