Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore: strategies for increasing income and building up savings

2014

This is done by presenting the background situation, especially regarding female labor migration from Indonesia to other countries, and examining the specific income conditions experienced by domestic workers in Singapore. The particular focus of this essay is on gaining a deeper understanding of how the women act within a restrictive framework, i.e. identifying their legal and illegal strategies for increasing their regular income and their “negative” income strategies and transnational strategies for building up savings.

Motivations and domain specificity in intercultural adaptation : bloggers' experiences in their new host countries

2014

The current qualitative study investigates immigrant’s intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) motivations and how they surface in the intercultural adaption process. Additionally, it aims to answer whether immigrant’s adaptation orientations differ between private and public (life) domains by testing Boski’s (2008) IAFS model [the model of integration as functional(partial) specialization]. It is a fairly recent model of adaptation and only few prior studies have utilized it. The study concentrates on voluntary migrants, individuals, who have made a personal choice to leave their homelands. In the current study naturally occurring data in a form of weblogs were utilized as research d…

Immigrant artists' intercultural identity formation and development process through art making

2015

The present study examines how immigrant artists view their intercultural identity formation and development process through art making. The study is based on a theoretical foundation combining the concepts of identity, immigration and art. Art is commonly seen closely connected to one’s self and experiences, and therefore it is possible that great changes in life, such as immigration, have an influence on one’s art and vice versa. Because immigration is becoming more and more common, it is important to take into account also the emotional aspect of immigration through listening the thoughts and experiences of the people who are immigrants themselves to get more information about the ways p…

Postcolonial Intersections: Transnational Women Voices from Minor Italy

2017

The rising corpus of Italian postcolonial literature, mainly by women writers originally from the Horn of Africa, is urging Italian letters to engage with other contemporary transnational productions, thus challenging the notion of national canons and vertical power relations, in favor of a writing seeking for horizontal, minor connections unmediated by the center, as suggested by Francoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih, whose work on Minor Transnationalism draws from Deleuze & Guattari and Edouard Glissant. As a case of point, the article offers a reflection on Ubax Cristina Ali Farah's narratives and their use of language.

Intégration des enfants de migrants à l'école : analyse comparative des approches de l'égalité en France et en Norvège

2018

International audience; Les systèmes éducatifs français et norvégien ont en commun, comme bien d'autres, de se réclamer des principes d'égalité et d'inclusion, et ils ont de plus retravaillé leurs principes de justice méritocratique au profit d'une certaine visée de l'équité. Cependant les situations de la France et de la Norvège et leurs politiques contrastent sur de nombreux plans : démographique, économique, institutionnel, culturel, sans compter le plan des relations internationales. Les legs historiques sont très différents, les situations géopolitiques aussi. Différentes, enfin, sont les expériences passées et présentes de réception et d'intégration des flux migratoires.

O DIREITO À LIBERDADE PESSOAL E A DETENÇÃO ADMINISTRATIVA DOS IMIGRANTES IRREGULARES E CLANDESTINOS NA ITÁLIA

2015

Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente o fenômeno da “detenção administrativa” dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais o…
