Aikuisten turvapaikanhakija- ja pakolaisasiakkaiden terapeuttisissa keskusteluissa kuvaamat hyödylliset muutokset
2018
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sitä, kuinka kuusi aikuista turvapaikanhakija- ja pakolaisasiakasta kuvaavat kokemiaan hyödyllisiä muutoksia luonnollisissa terapeuttisissa keskusteluissa. Asiakkaiden keskustelukäynnit kriisikeskuksen työntekijöiden luona videotallennettiin. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat asiakkaiden esittämät ja tulkkien suomeksi välittämät ilmaukset. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin aineistolähtöistä laadullista sisällönanalyysia. Analyysissä syntyi neljä hyödyllisen muutoksen kategoriaa. Hyödyllisen muutoksen kategorioita ovat helpottuneempi olotila, uusien ongelmiin ja elämään liittyvien hallintakeinojen omaksuminen, itseymmärryksen ja voimaantumisen tunteen lisääntyminen ja rake…
Contesting language policy for asylum seekers in the Northern periphery: the story of Tailor F
2020
AbstractThis article is about navigating asylum, employment and language policy in a new country as an asylum seeker. Through the story of one individual, we show that profound inequalities are exacerbated when forced migrants are limited in their choice of language they might study or use. The individual is Tailor F, an Iraqi man seeking asylum, and the country is Finland, officially bilingual, with a majority language (Finnish) and a minority language (Swedish). Finland’s official bilingualism does not extend evenly to language education provided for asylum seekers, who are taught Finnish regardless of the region where they are placed. Upon arrival, Tailor F was housed in a reception cent…
Refugees’ perception of their new life in Germany
2021
Since 2015, Germany has been hosting noticeable incoming flows of refugees and asylum seekers and despite the quality of life of refugees is expected to be improved in the aftermath of their arrival to Germany, refugees are still facing several problems of integration and economic deprivation. Using a sample of individuals from the first wave of the German IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees, we present some preliminary analyses on their life satisfaction (LS). A gamma glm was estimated to focus on the association among levels of LS and main socio-demographic characteristics as well as post-migration factors. Greater stability (both in the legal and personal sphere) in refugees’ lives is posit…
Hotspot System in Italy: Politics of Refusal against the Economic Migrants and their Effects
2018
The purpose of this paper is to describe the aporias in the institutional discourse regarding the strategies of reception-refoulement of asylum seekers in Italy. First, it will analyze the evolution of the institutional discourse on security in recent years through a reflection on some aspects of the Schengen Treaty and the Dublin Convention of 1985 (Dublion I, II and III) and “Regimes of Mobility” (Glick Schiller & Salazar, 2013). Secondly, we will try to show that economic migrants, who are rejects according to “Hotspot system” and now to the decree “Minniti”, are often found them in severe distress conditions and in absolute inability to return to their countries. Refugees that circumven…
The System Hotspot: politics of refusal against the economic migrants and absence of good practicesfor contrasting the gender and sexual violence suf…
2017
Il saggio evidenzia come il discorso istituzionale, il discorso pubblico dei media e, infine, le interviste di testimoni significativi descrivono tre aspetti del fenomeno dei rifugiati / richiedenti asilo che non possono essere ricondotti in un'analisi coerente di "fare Europa" e un'interpretazione unica. L '"occidentalizzazione del pensiero critico" (Latouche, 1995) è quindi probabile che diventi un vero "nazionalismo occidentale", se i discorsi dal basso degli operatori culturali e dei mediatori linguistici non intervengono in maniera massiccia. I punti di crisi (Hotspot) confermano il tentativo di esclusione di alcuni rifugiati e richiedenti asilo. Un'esclusione dal sistema di protezione…

The Slow Violence of Deportability
2020
In 2015, Finland, like other European countries, received an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. Later, in the aftermath of what we prefer to call the ‘refugee reception crisis’, the deportation of those who had received negative asylum decisions began. The Finnish Immigration Service significantly tightened its policies after 2015. Increasingly strict asylum criteria have resulted in deportations at a level never seen before. Furthermore, protests against deportations have increased and become publicly salient. In this chapter we theorize deportation as a form of slow violence that hurts not only its main target but also people nearby. While a forced removal can be seen as a single, po…
The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
