Translation as artistic communication in the aesthetics of migration: From nonfiction to the visual arts

2017

AbstractIn an increasingly globalized and digitalized world, where the advancement of technologies and media constructions oversimplify and manipulate public beliefs and shared knowledge, the artistic sector seems to provide new networks of solidarity, collaboration and interaction that challenge a world dominated by conflicts and cultural shocks. Against this backdrop, acts of translation within the arts bear witness to humanity and become the ultimate ground for subjective expression and fundamental reflections upon individualist attitudes against migration issues. By putting emphasis on the role of translation in its political transfer of migration into the arts, this investigation draws…

Transnational ties: Resource or stressor on Peruvian migrants' well‐being?

2020

This paper explores the role of types and the intensity of transnational ties for migrants' well‐being from a global perspective. Based on a literature review, two competing hypotheses are formulated—transnational resources versus transnational stress—according to which transnational ties have either a positive or a negative effect on migrants' well‐being. Drawing on data from a large‐scale survey of Peruvian migrants worldwide, this paper examines the strength and direction of the relationship between Peruvian migrants' transnational ties and poor well‐being, the latter measured as depression/loneliness as a principal concern. While the multivariate regression results do not support the tr…

Fantasmi e trasmigrazioni. Le memorie degli altri in Georges Perec e Richard Mosse

2020

In questo saggio si analizzeranno due opere – Recits d’Ellis Island, di Georges Perec e Robert Bober e Incoming di Richard Mosse – e il loro modo di riflettere sulla Shoah in maniera eccentrica, obliqua attraverso due particolari lenti che guardano alle migrazioni di esseri umani in condizioni di pericolo: quella di phantasmata e quella di “trasmigrazione”, tanto nella sua accezione di migrazione, di passaggio di qualcosa o qualcuno attraverso lo spazio, ma anche attraverso il tempo, quanto nel senso di trascendenza dello spirito o dell’anima da una forma di esistenza corporea a forme di esistenza meno tangibili. All’interno di queste due opere la parola si fa accompagnare dall’immagine fot…

Job Displacement, Inter-Regional Mobility and Long-Term Earnings

2018

We examine the effect of job displacement on regional mobility using linked employer-employee panel data for the 1995-2014 period. We also study whether displaced movers obtain earnings and employment gains compared to displaced stayers. The results show that job displacement increases the migration probability by ~70%. However, social capital in a region and housing characteristics decrease the propensity to move, indicating that people do not make the migration decisions solely based on short-term economic incentives. Migration has an immediate negative relationship with earnings, but the link diminishes as time passes and eventually turns positive for men. The link between migration and …

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…

Ghost people. Immigrazione clandestina, tutela della salute e dignità della persona

2009

Il divieto di segnalazione all'autorità pubblica dell'immigrato irregolare, imposto ai medici e ai paramedici cui l'immigrato si sia rivolto chiedendo assistenza sanitaria (art. 35 comma 5 d.lgs. 25 luglio 1998, n. 286), palesa la netta preminenza della tutela della salute (individuale e pubblica) rispetto a pur non disconoscibili esigenze di ordine e di sicurezza, e consacra una scelta di civiltà nel solco, anzitutto, della tutela della dignità della persona. Il contributo, muovendo dall'orizzonte costituzionale e sovranazionale, offre una riflessione sulle logiche prevaricanti della sicurezza (culminate nel varo dei "pacchetti" del 2009) e sui rischi endemici inerenti a talune ottiche di …

Immigrati e diritti sociali

2016

Il saggio analizza in chiave critica i problemi più attuali della protezione socia¬le degli immigrati. Dopo avere ricostruito il quadro normativo attualmente vigente, l’A. esamina le pronunce giurisprudenziali più significative in materia di parità di trattamento e divieto di discriminazione, valutandone l’impatto con riferimento ai diversi status di immigrato. L’ultima parte è dedicata alla questione della condizionalità delle prestazioni di assistenza sociale a causa dei vincoli di bilancio imposti agli Stati dalla nuova governance europea. The paper proposes a critical view of the most actual problems concerning social protection of migrant people. On the one hand, it presents the in for…
