Abstract
This research is based on the issue of increasing the desire to migrate in Iran, around the concept of "mediatized migration", and the main question is based on this question: How is the discourse of the migration industry conceptualized, interpreted and constructed on Instagram? The research method is internet qualitative and discourse analysis is used as the technique. The conceptual framework includes Hansen-Sorensen's immigration industry theory and critical theory, and the findings show that the actors of the immigration industry discourse in the virtual space - which include bloggers and immigration institutions - use mechanisms such as "representation of immigration as a success", " the construction of a binary of foreign and homeland" and finally "emphasis on integration solutions in the culture of migration destinations", provided the reasons for the mental migration of the survivors of physical migration in an imaginary sphere, that articulate the discourse of the migration industry and produce the desirous subject of migration. The hegemonic discourse of the immigration industry and the intensification of immigration aspiration will prevent any hope and effort to improve things in the society in the long time and will create a wave of individual and collective feeling of blockage and failure
