Axis 2 “Inclusive societies”

  • Due to the national strike movement, the seminar is canceled : Adelina Miranda, professor of anthropology University of Poitiers/ UMR 7301 MIGRINTER Fellow IC Migrations.

Coordination: Giovanni Agresti (IKER – Bordeaux Montaigne University), William Berthomière (PASSAGES – Bordeaux Montaigne University), Valeria Villa-Pérez (ECCLA – University of Saint-Etienne)

During this intervention, I propose to look at how migrations are accompanied by the development of a new linguistic register to define otherness and identities. From the study of a localized space (a town near Naples, Terzigno), I will question this question following two levels of analysis: intimate space and public space. The presence of badanti (care assistants for the elderly) has determined a redefinition of the emotional dimensions in family relationships and, consequently, the way of naming strangers. The presence of different immigrant groups in public space has led to a form of hierarchy of belonging based on different forms of (in)visibility. How is private space related to public space? Does the fluid (re)definition of forms of belonging (We/you) express the connections that subjects develop between sedentary lifestyle/mobility? And does it give meaning to the processes of coexistence of different migratory situations (notably emigration/immigration)?
