El Derecho internacional de las migraciones: entre la crisis y la renovación
2019
The international migration regime currently in force is manifestly insufficient for the regulation and governance of migration flows. The irreducible collision between the right of persons to leave their country and the right of States to reject the admission of migrants in its territory has led, in practice, to a vicious circle resulting in an increase in irregular migration and the multiplication of dramatic situations that hurt humanitarian feelings. In view of this situation, the United Nations promoted the adoption in January of 2019 of two instruments seeking to establish a new framework for international cooperation in this field: a Global Compact on Refugees and a Global Compact on…
Mobile communication and the family: Asian experiences in technology domestication
2016
Amidst a record influx of refugees from the Middle East and Africa into Europe, it is puzzling to notice that many are making their journeys with almost nothing but a smartphone. Families are left ...
Migration Discourse and the New Socially Constructed Meanings of the English Lingua Franca
2022
After the 1990s, the mass arrival of immigrants in Europe transformed the phenomenon of migration from a benefit into a problem and opened the debate to issues of first aid, security, expulsion and rejection. Even today, migrants are no longer seen as a socio-economic resource to be protected and regulated, but as a potential social problem affecting areas such as the economy, health and national security. The paper deals with the linguistically relevant literature about migration discourse (MD) and the role of English as lingua franca in public discourse related to the migration phenomenon. The latter part examines some traditional English key terms used to represent migrants since their m…
MIGRATIONS: A GLOBAL WELFARE CHALLENGE. POLICIES, PRACTICES AND CONTEMPORARY VULNERABILITIES
2018
The construction of immigrants and immigration/refugees and asylum seekers is something that fit onto some specific stereotypes that facilitates a conservative discourse against this natural human mobility right. This book intends to offer more thinking tools to understand the nature of human mobility and why states needs to rethink about their conservative rights targeting it. Solidarities within European boundaries and with the rest of the world form a key aspect of democratic societies. Therefore these solidarities must be investigated in relation to the main issues of migrants, but also to all rights that the States could recognized to migrants as persons and legal subject.
Support for collective action against refugees: The role of national, European, and global identifications, and autochthony beliefs
2019
To understand recent anti-refugee protests in Europe, we examined how different levels of inclusiveness of group identities (national, European, and global) are related to intentions to protest among native Europeans. We focused on the mediating role of autochthony (a belief that the first inhabitants of a territory are more entitled) and the moderating role of threat. Survey data from 11 European countries (N=1909) showed that national identification was positively associated with autochthony, and therefore, with the intention to protest against refugees. In contrast, global identification was related to lower protest intentions via lower autochthony. These paths were found only among Euro…
Migrantes, refugiados y tercer sector social. Un análisis del papel de las grandes ONG españolas en la gestión de fondos y políticas
2022
Introducción. A lo largo de los últimos años España ha visto incrementar su población inmigrante y refugiada, lo que ha planteado nuevas necesidades en cuanto a su atención e integración. En gran medida, esta tarea ha recaído en las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales con la financiación del Estado, algo que también habría sucedido en otros países europeos afectados por la crisis de los sistemas de bienestar en mayor o menor medida. Metodología. Con el fin de obtener datos al respecto, hemos procedido a consultar la base de datos de subvenciones del Estado y las resoluciones de las convocatorias del Ministerio de Inclusión, Migraciones y Seguridad Social en relación con la financiación recibi…

Interpreting Distress Narratives in Italian Reception Centres: The need for caution when negotiating empathy
2020
This paper examines the interpreting of migrant narratives in reception centres in Italy, based on first-hand data collected by the authors, and discusses the potential risks of empathic bonding. The data consists in recorded mediated interactions between migrants, public service interpreters and service providers, as well as recorded interviews. The data show how asylum seekers and migrants construct their narratives both to reflect their own life experiences and to be as persuasive as possible to improve the chances of a successful asylum application. Public service interpreters – or ‘language mediators’ as they are termed in the Italian setting – may struggle to position themselves profe…

Les exilés et l'enseignement de l'espagnol en France
2006
International audience; Au moment où la France accorde l’asile au demi million d’Espagnols qui fuient Franco, la langue espagnole n’intéressait qu’une minorité restreinte d’élèves. Au début des années cinquante, alors que l’anglais et même l’allemand connaissaient les faveurs accrues de la jeunesse, l’espagnol continuait de végéter au sein d’un système éducatif où rien n’était entrepris pour le rendre plus attractif. Au cours des années qui suivirent, l’arrivée au lycée des enfants des exilés républicains, et d’une façon plus localisée, le souvenir du rôle joué par les républicains-résistants dans la libération des certaines villes du sud, modifièrent sensiblement cette situation. Les desce…
