(Un)framing Lampedusa: Regimes of Visibility and the Politics of Affect in Italian Media Representations
2017
The 3rd of October 2013 more than 300 migrants died after a boat sank off the coasts of Lampedusa. This probably was the most dramatic shipwreck ever happened in the Mediterranean, and certainly the one which attracted the most media attention in Italy and elsewhere. Since at least 1992 the Mediterranean has become the unstable ground where the dominant policies of regulated mobility and discontinuous surveillance are continuously challenged by bodies which struggle for their fundamental right to move. This conflict between global regimes of disciplined mobility (Philo 2014) and singular forms of embodied resistance (Agamben 1990) involves also the field of representation and its forcible e…
Le Sahara et ses marges, un objet d'étude identifié : vers un renouvellement des recherches sur les espaces désertiques
2011
Cette livraison sur « le Sahara et ses marges » a pu bénéficier des contributions de chercheurs de plusieurs générations et de plusieurs horizons disciplinaires : il en a résulté une grande diversité des approches et une grande ouverture des directions de recherche. Deux lectures peuvent en être faites. Tout d’abord, les contributions ont joué sur des oppositions : désert versus désertification, valeur symbolique et patrimoniale du désert mais dégradation de ses espaces, nomadisme renouvelé mais progression de la sédentarité. Mais surtout, elles ont permis, de manière plus exigeante, de penser le désert comme un système dynamique, soumis à des forces climatiques, socio,économiques et cultur…
Acculturation preferences towards immigrants: Age and gender differences among Finnish adolescents
2018
Abstract Discussions concerning if and how immigrants should acculturate into Finnish society have become popular especially in the aftermath of the refugee crisis. Despite the abundance of research on acculturation preferences of majority members towards immigrant groups, research on the stability of majority acculturation preferences in adolescence does not exist. In a sample of early (11–13 years, n = 157), middle (14–16 years, n = 362) and late (17–19 years, n = 279) adolescents, this study investigated the stability of acculturation preferences as adolescents age, and the extent to which men and women differed. Contrary to expectations, results indicated support for integration increas…
Russian speakers’ media engagement and acculturation in Finland and Latvia
2022
AbstractThis comparative study looks into Russian speakers’ acculturation in Finland and Latvia by contrasting their cultural involvement and cultural preference Carlson and Güler (J Int Migr Integr 19:625–647, 2018. 10.1007/s12134-018-0554-4) with their self-reported news media use. Drawing on survey data collected from both countries (N = 224), the findings show that participants in both countries scored closer to biculturalism than monoculturalism. Majority of the respondents report predominantly engaging with non-Russian news media sources. However, regardless of the societal context, respondents who were more engaged with Russian news media sources also scored higher on cultural prefer…
Adapting to Finland through professional football : perceptions of players and coaches
2014
The present study explores how football migrants (foreign professional football / soccer players) perceive the adaptation process in Finland. Globalization and legislation have made it easier for football players to work abroad. The amount of football migrants in Finland is increasing each year. The internationalization of Finnish football requires study. Successful adaptation has a positive outcome on a migrant, which will increase the chances of personal, and thus in the case of football, team success. This thesis is a qualitative study of five football migrants, who are interviewed based on thematic, semi structured face-to-face conversations in Finland. The following research questions …
"It's not about the passport" : the perception of Finnish citizens with a foreign background in the wake of the Refugee Crisis
2017
This study examines whether the perception of Finnish citizens with a foreign background has changed in the wake of the refugee crisis. To analyse the situation, focus groups with a total of 18 participants with both Finnish citizenship and a foreign background were conducted to establish whether they felt the treatment towards them had changed over the last years. Berry’s model of acculturation and the Interactive Acculturation Model by Bourhis et al. were used to analyse the results and explain acculturation strategies and orientations. The study resulted in two key findings: Finnish citizens with a migration background felt that the perception towards them had changed, but this did not i…

La atención humanitaria como alternativa viable y eficaz a la detención migratoria: por una política migratoria de retorno centrada en la integración
2021
La detención de personas por su situación administrativa responde a una política migratoria coercitiva de protección «frente» al «otro», e ignora la perspectiva de integración y de protección «de» personas que debe regir toda estrategia en este contexto. La mera privación de libertad en ausencia de delito presenta serias dificultades para justificar su proporcionalidad, necesidad y razonabilidad por lo que urge la implementación real de alternativas a la detención. Los programas de atención humanitaria a los que fueron liberadas muchas personas de los CIE durante la pandemia pueden constituir una alternativa sólida, viable y eficaz que favorece la integración social. Immigration detention i…
