Clandestini a Lampedusa:isolati, segregati, invisibili
2006
Social construction processes of migrant, often clandestine migrant, among the inhabitants of Lampedusa, have recorded, in the last years, a gradual moving from a prevaling sympathetic optics combined with human solidarity forms – even if not without defensive processes and forms of racism and xenophobia – to more and more clear dynamics of exclusion, often joint with intolerant, cynical and indifferent attitudes. The social representation of the stranger isn’t, however, either unvarying or coherent. Infact, the collected interviews give evidence for continuous oscillations between the wish to understand – that increases when there is an interaction with the strangers – and the need to defe…
Migrant Families, Social Policies and Community Relations: Towards What (Kind Of) Integration?
2022
This article aims to present a few considerations regarding the phenomenon of migrant families’ integration processes, in the broader framework of the relationship between politics, policies and services. The stabilization of migrant people in Italy has determined, on the one hand, the growth of the family-based character of the immigrant population, in the face of which, institutions and reception services, in the wake of policy directives, have been called upon to remodel interventions and integration practices. On the other hand, the drastic reduction in political attention to the social, civil and economic integration of migrants and, in particular, of migrant families, linked to the di…

MIGRANTI E SINDACATO
2021
Today, migrants are a resource for the trade union, which is declining in membership and popularity, as it is for this category. The central function is still linked to services and information support. But the presence of new users to be protected and represented required a profound organisational and cultural transformation within the union, which has not yet been fully achieved throughout the country. The chapter analyses the data and reasons for migrants joining trade unions.
Migrantenschmuggel im Mittelmeer: Der Fall Italien
2019
Although in the public debate immigration is considered as an emergency, this paper begins taking into account the real data of such a phenomenon, strongly decreased in the past 18 months. It is then examined the issue of the illegal immigrant in Italy from a criminal law standpoint, in order to overcome the idea of reducing it to trafficking, focusing rather on the human nature of each individual, always involved in the crime of aiding and abetting illegal immigration, not being the perpetrator of the said offence. In light of the above the rights in the crucial phase of immigrants' reception can be better assessed, focusing then on administrative and criminal policies. In conclusion the p…

Posting for Consensus, Sharing Consensus. The Case of Migrants on Facebook, Ideological Views and Echo Chambers
2018
This study analyses posts and comments on a popular social network (Facebook) in order to investigate how web-users take advantage of participative platforms to post ideologically-driven comments, and how the exchanges create echo chambers. In particular, the study addresses populism expressed in online debates concerning migrants and used as a pretext to show group identities and ideologies. Facebook is thus taken as an example and considered a participatory platform (Boyd 2014) of political (populist) activism and the milieu for consensus-finding. The dialogic structure of comments is studied within Conversation Analysis adapted to online written texts (Antaki et al. 2005; Giles et al. 20…
