TL;DR: In this article, a libro affronta sia i processi nei quali i migranti mantengono e producono reti trasnazionali, sia the ruolo che l’antropologia oggi e chiamata a svolgere nel descrivere le diverse "scenografie" che il fenomeno della migrazione a fatto arrivare nelle nostre realta urbane.
Abstract: Il libro affronta sia i processi nei quali i migranti mantengono e producono reti trasnazionali, sia il ruolo che l’antropologia oggi e chiamata a svolgere nel descrivere le diverse “scenografie” che il fenomeno della migrazione a fatto arrivare nelle nostre realta urbane. Si analizzano alcune terminologie usate dai senegalesi per indicare gli europei in Senegal come “toubab” oppure “vucumpra” usato dagli europei per denigrare gli ambulanti in Italia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue for an understanding of citizenship as an emergent condition that is emplaced and embodied, rather than as simply a collection of rights to be possessed or endowed.
Abstract: Taking the ‘encounter’ as an analytic, this paper will argue for an understanding of citizenship as an emergent condition that is emplaced and embodied, rather than as simply a collection of rights to be possessed or endowed. This is not to deny the importance of legal status to the ways in which one inhabits the city (and therefore the nation-state), but show how this status is modulated in the everyday to constitute a range of legitimately and illegitimately present non-citizen subjects. The nature of the encounter as a constitutive event in which particular bodies are deemed in- or out-of-place will be discussed relative to two imagined figures that have been used to represent outsiders that are deemed to be illegitimately present in Italy: the clandestino/a and the nomad. These figures have been invoked in legislation and in political and popular discourse. In this paper, they are also imagined to be encountered in the spaces of the city.

  • ...This culture of emigration as such - operational through a stratification of popular and media discourses, cultural artefacts, social networks and on the material and symbolic images of success driven by migrants themselves weighs heavily on potential migrants' perceptions, aspirations and behaviour (Collyer, 2006; Pang, 2007; Riccio, 2007)....

  • ...…only due to a good socio-economic integration in the territory of residence, but also by a lively propensity to membership, aimed at both targets of internal social cohesion, and integration and dialogue with receiving society (Castagnone, 2007; Riccio, 2007; 2008a; 2008b; Navarra, Salis, 2010)....

  • ...In this framework the choice of selfemployment in the destination country can also be read as functional to the "back and forth" mobility (Riccio, 2007; Castagnone et al., 2005), allowing prolonged and frequent returns between origin and host countries....

  • ...In the Italian case in particular, where trade has played a key role in the integration of Senegalese (Castagnone et al., 2005; Riccio, 2007) into the labour market, it has been highlighted how this activity has been functional to flexible working-time....

  • ...Over the years, the Senegalese community has been further standing out not only due to a good socio-economic integration in the territory of residence, but also by a lively propensity to membership, aimed at both targets of internal social cohesion, and integration and dialogue with receiving society (Castagnone, 2007; Riccio, 2007; 2008a; 2008b; Navarra, Salis, 2010)....

Tra sbarco e approdo: liminalità e valore performativo del transito dei richiedenti asilo eritrei ed etiopi nel quartiere di Milano Porta Venezia

TL;DR: In this paper, analisi delle condizioni strutturali su cui si basa the processo di transito ed inquadrandolo in una cornice istituzionale marcata dall'invisibilita, considera il fenomeno in corso come una fase liminale nel sistema di governo transnazionale delle migrazioni forzate.
Abstract: Situando l’indagine etnografica nel quartiere di Porta Venezia, spazio di riferimento della diaspora eritrea ed etiope a Milano, il lavoro mette in luce il carattere produttivo del transito nel quartiere dei richiedenti asilo eritrei ed etiopi diretti verso il Nord Europa. Partendo da un’analisi delle condizioni strutturali su cui si basa il processo di transito ed inquadrandolo in una cornice istituzionale marcata dall’invisibilita, l’autore considera il fenomeno in corso come una fase liminale nel sistema di governo transnazionale delle migrazioni forzate. Una fase liminale che inaugura un nuovo spazio di senso situato nella discrasia creatasi tra i termini di sbarco e approdo, che coinvolge nuovi attori sociali e apre a nuovi immaginari nella costruzione del progetto migratorio. Il quartiere di Porta Venezia si configura cosi come un punto denso attraverso cui indagare i processi sociali che nutrono questo fenomeno e il suo valore performativo rispetto alle configurazioni locali e all’appartenenza sociale in diaspora.

Immigration in the media: The translation of control practices into the language we live in

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find the real roots of the language that we use to speak of immigration in the practices of control of the "Fortress Europe", in the policies of exclusion of the new pariah, in the investigations and the provisions inspired by the counter-terrorism, obligatory “Islamic”.
Abstract: We begin from the end: the realization – result of many researches carried out in this field – that the media representation of immigration and consequently its public image only relates to a “problem” concerning otherness, illegitimacy and finally a naturally criminal essence. Looking for the reasons of this representation in the functioning of media, as much literature has done, is certainly useful but not sufficient to understand the deep nature of this common sense, which acts as an actual “system of truth”. Seeing the other possible cause of our “democratic racism” in the tactical benefits assured by the hostility discourse to the political entrepreneurs of fear is as much legitimate but still unbalanced. The attempt of this article is to find the real roots of the language that we use – like it or not – to speak of immigration in the practices of control of the “Fortress Europe”, in the policies of exclusion of the new pariah, in the investigations and the provisions inspired by the counter-terrorism, obligatory “Islamic”. The available categories, topics, images, narratives reflect the organizational imperatives of the institutions in charge of the control of the phenomenon, whit their priorities, gazes, definitions. In this reconstruction media have the relevant role of translator: from practices of control – reported, justified, naturalized – into constructs and standardizations which become “archive” on which we draw in everyday life.
