Gender Based Violence and LGBTQI+ Migrants: Assessing Visibility/Invisibility Tactics through the Italian Reception System
Full text linkPersecutions and discrimination based on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics-diversity (SOGIESC-diversity) are recognized as reasons to claim asylum. Despite this, data on the impact of gender-based violence (GBV) on LGBTQIA+ migrants are limited, both from a quantitative and a qualitative point of view. This sustains an enduring invisibilization of LGBTQIA+ migrants, through migration paths and in reception centers. Using Collins' matrix of domination as a framework, this article provides a qualitative analysis of the experience of the project "MigrAzioni" organised by an Italian Association for the rights of LGBTQIA+ people in the South of Italy. A mixed method approach has been used, collecting both official documentation and the experience of SAI reception centers' operators, LGBTQIA+ right activists and migrants. The article highlights the articulation of visibility/invisibility in the LGBQTIA+ migrants' experience, underlining the different ways the latter is intersected by forms of GBV, institutional processes, cultural and social models, gender stereotypes, but also involving daily tactics enacted in liminal spaces between the subjects and the society
Paradigmi Narrativi del Deep Blue Sea: Dalla Costruzione Fantascientifica alla Materializzazione dell'Esperienza Turistica Subacquea = Deep Blue Sea Narratives: Transitioning from Science Fiction Constructs to Material Underwater Tourism Experiences
No full textThe article analyses how sci-fi media and narratives have influenced and anticipated current trends in underwater tourism, exploring the intersection between science fiction imaginaries and the media construction of contemporary underwater tourism. The paper examines how the tourism industry is progressively turning into reality what has, for decades, been the exclusive domain of science fiction, with particular emphasis on the role of media in constructing new tourist spaces. This research contributes to contemporary debates on the relationship between science fiction and social innovation, proposing underwater tourism as an emblematic case of how sci-fi narratives are progressively incorporated into concrete social practices. Particular attention is given to the narrative ecosystems developing around underwater tourism projects, where scientific discourses, technological promises, and media imaginaries intersect
