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…

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…
Proximity Violence in Migration Times. A Focus in some Regions of Italy, France and Spain
2019
This volume, edited by Ignazia Bartholini, principal investigator of the PROVIDE - Proximity on Violence: Defence and Equity project (Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme - 2014-2020) funded by the EU, shifted the interpretative focus of its research from gender-based to proximity violence. This theoretical intuition-assertion, fruitful too at empirical level, is informed by a wide-scale reconstruction of the phenomenon of migratory violence and corroborated by the results of the action research carried out by six international teams ˗ Ismu, Oxfam, Telefono Donna, Badia Grande, Aseis Lagarto, Samù International, the University of Jaén and the University of Palermo. Systems of protecti…
Riflessioni sul ruolo dell'assistente sociale nella presa in carico di migranti vittime di violenza di prossimità
2018
Le autrici affrontano il problema della violenza di prossimità subita dai rifugiati / richiedenti asilo durante il loro percorso migratorio. Inoltre, riflettono sul ruolo assunto dall'assistente sociale nel cosiddetto "processo di accompagnamento" verso un percorso di sensibilizzazione, emancipazione e responsabilizzazione personale delle vittime. The authors addresses the issue of proximity violence suffered by refugees/asylum seekers during their migration path. Furthermore, they reflects on the role assumed by the social worker on the so-called “accompaniment process” towards an awareness path, emancipation and personal empowerment of the victims.
Limits in medical care and social relief during the Spanish Civil War in a rear-guard city: the inclusa of the provincial hospital of Valencia.
2016
Due to its geostrategic condition during the Spanish Civil War, Valencia became one of the Republican cities welcoming more refugees, including many children. In this scenario of demographic and health crisis, the town had to restructure the assistance network in order to accommodate thousands of displaced children, who often had their relatives in faraway places. The paper focuses in the progressive rehabilitation undertaken by the Inclusa of Valencia, which was the provincial foundling hospital. This included deep changes both in its operation and in the admission criteria, particularly following the transfer of the Inclusa of Madrid to Valencia. The resulting overcrowding encouraged the …
