ABSTRACT
This conclusion gives some closing thoughts on key ideas discussed already in the previous chapters of this book. The book shows show how 'anti-austerity protesters' are characterised as 'enraged citizens', 'foreign austerity-stricken citizens', 'mute', with 'special interests' and 'without a cause'. It focuses on framings using connotative keywords, which are performed within media texts. The valency of connotative keywords is therefore conceived as more outside or prior to media texts than within them. The book examines the 'yes' and 'no' arguments in the July 2015 Greek referendum and the anti-austerity agenda of the Belgian Hart-Boven-Hard movement. It considers several transnational anti-austerity organisations in the EU, and media texts and their framings appear in the interstices of larger political confrontations. The methodological significance of connotative keywords in media- framing analysis draws upon several conjunctions.
