Warszawiacy i "napływowcy". Analiza współczesnego dyskursu migracyjnego w Warszawie

In this paper I describe a local, Warsowian discourse focused on the phenomena of immigration into the capital city from other parts of Poland. In Bourdieu's categories I draw upon the field of game played in Warsaw between two kinds of players: natives and immigrants. Both of them build definitions of the others based on wrongful stereotypes and prejudices. Such a discourse has been used by the natives as a tool of exclusion of the migrants from the sphere of work and symbolic capital. They impute the migrants to be immoral, bad qualified and determined to stay in Warsaw. The immigrants show the natives as the second or third generation of the immigrants from the poor countryside which came to the capital city directly after the World War II. From this point of view the present natives usurp "the right to the city", the symbolic capital and the right to take the best places on the job market. Specifically, I am interested in patterns of the exclusion constructed by the natives in the discourse and also in answers of immigrants who use rather defensive strategies.
