Hotspot System in Italy: Politics of Refusal against the Economic Migrants and their Effects
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to describe the aporias in the institutional discourse regarding the strategies of reception-refoulement of asylum seekers in Italy. First, it will analyze the evolution of the institutional discourse on security in recent years through a reflection on some aspects of the Schengen Treaty and the Dublin Convention of 1985 (Dublion I, II and III) and “Regimes of Mobility” (Glick Schiller & Salazar, 2013).
Secondly, we will try to show that economic migrants, who are rejects according to “Hotspot system” and now to the decree “Minniti”, are often found them in severe distress conditions and in absolute inability to return to their countries. Refugees that circumvent the controls and remain in Italy, become victims from market of labor exploitation by pimps or become beggars and homeless. It seems evident as the identification and selection mechanisms in place within the “crisis points” (hotspots) confirms how are based on preventive exclusion criteria for many refugees from system of international protection. Exclusion facilitated by some Organizations and Institutions that are legitimately operating in the EU.
The paper describes three aspects of phenomenon of refugees/asylum seekers cannot be reconciled in a coherent analysis of “doing Europe” and a unique in- terpretation. Furthemore, it outlines and discusses the strategies of “first asylum” provided at the Hotspot, especially when migrants show signs of physical violence or beatings
Bartholini I., Canta C.C., Dizionario di Sociologia per la Persona- GENERE
No full textIgnorare l’esercizio del pensiero e della prospettiva interpretativa femminile/ista nell’analisi delle società, ha costituito un grave limite del pensiero occidentale. Individuare e valorizzare teorie e paradigmi, concetti e categorie che, più di altri, sono stati oggetto di riflessione ed analisi delle scienziate sociali, costituisce la linea di indirizzo di Genere, il terzo (in ordine cronologico) "Dizionario di Sociologia della Persona". Con esso si è inteso dare conto di
tale ricchezza, spostando l’asse del pensiero male mainstream, e bilanciando in tal modo le prospettive, nonché i contributi, che i filoni di ricerca gender oriented hanno evidenziato.
Le 42 voci che lo compongono – tutte corredate da riferimenti bibliografici rigorosamente “al femminile” – rappresentano il primo tentativo, nel panorama italiano, di tracciare una cornice che evidenzi al suo interno il complesso panorama degli interessi, dei rovelli e degli apporti delle studiose che, dal tardo Ottocento ad oggi, hanno indirizzato e performativizzato la scienza sociale.
‘Riprodurre riconoscendo’ le voci soffocate e, per così dire ‘insonorizzate’ della letteratura sociologica al femminile è l’impegno che i/le partecipanti al Gruppo Genere di SPe hanno preso e che ora è anche quello delle tante studiose e dei tanti studiosi italiani che hanno contribuito alla pubblicazione di questo Dizionario.Ignoring the exercise of feminine/ist thought and interpretative perspective in the analysis of societies has constituted a serious limitation of Western thought. Identifying and valorizing theories and paradigms, concepts and categories that, more than others, have been the object of reflection and analysis of social scientists, constitutes the guideline of Genere, the third (in chronological order) "Dictionary of Sociology of the Person". With it we intended to give an account of
this wealth, shifting the axis of male mainstream thought, and thus balancing the perspectives, as well as the contributions, that the gender-oriented research strands have highlighted.
The 42 entries that compose it - all accompanied by rigorously "feminine" bibliographical references - represent the first attempt, in the Italian panorama, to trace a framework that highlights within it the complex panorama of interests, worries and contributions of the scholars who, from the late nineteenth century to today, have directed and performatized social science.
‘Reproducing by recognizing’ the stifled and, so to speak, ‘soundproofed’ voices of women’s sociological literature is the commitment that the participants of the SPe Gender Group have taken on and which is now also that of the many Italian scholars who have contributed to the publication of this Dictionary
The Trap of Proximity Violence. Research and Insights into Male Dominance and Female Resistance
No full textThis book aims at shifting the emphasis from a general vision of gender-based violence to a more opaque, yet equally destructive one, that related to "proximity violence". The investigative tension of this book aims at bringing to light the crevasses where violence lurks ready to return in disguise as well as the lairs where it hides. Like a whirlwind, violence appears in all its destructive might and disappears. Precisely because violence is of a proxemic kind it is hard to position with respect to those who wish to objectify it. Its screens are many and the causes that feed it are endowed with a good dose of relational and lexical ambiguity. Because it is profoundly unjust, unfair, wrong, and at the same time intimate and socio-emotional, it is often justifiable and justified by the victims themselves.
The author underlines as proximity violence provides and includes a fiduciary kind of "proximity", of "dependent intimacy", where the trust that the victim places in the other (her tormentor) favours the exercise of violence itself, allowing it to take place, thus making it practically imperceptible when not actually normal, in extreme cases.
In turn, this confidence is comparable to "a veil of Maja" which, in conditions of vulnerability typical of victims, attenuates the consequences of the violence undergone or the omens of what becomes violent action.
The conceptual triad: proximity violence, vulnerability, resistance-resilience is explored in this volume: in the three main chapters and in the details aimed at identifying, in the final chapter, the mutual interconnections
Asylum Reforms, Discrimination of Refugees with Special Needs and Practices of Resistance in Local Contexts of Europe
Full text linkThe standardization of the asylum system demonstrated a gap in providing specific assistance to asylum seekers with specific vulnerabilities as required in the Art. 17 of the 2013/33/EU Directive. The aim of this proposal is to describe the results of the research "Provide", founded by the EU (Rights, Equality and Citizenship Program 2014-2020), conducted in the last two years . The reasearch, based on mixed methods, highlights a problem of legislative discomfort between the EU and the different States; a gap in the assistance of migrants with specific needs; a problem of lack of understanding of phenomenon of proximity violence. In France, it is highlighted a lack of porosity between the Common Law and the asylum Law, especially regarding the granting of protection to vulnerable categories. Similarly, in Spain, violence suffered by migrants after leaving the origin country is not considered as a motive for International and national protection. In Italy there was a disparity in approaches in the assistance of migrants with specific needs. In the different regions and municipalities of three Countries involved there is no formalized coordinated system between asylum law and common law, between the asylum seekers’ reception system and the system of protection of victims of violence. Furthemore, asylum reforms currently underway risk of increasing the vulnerabilities related to the perpetuation of proximity violence among migrants. This is due to some of the measures envisaged by legislative reforms relating to asylum, including those concerning shorter waiting times for asylum applications and longer periods of administrative detention. The effect could be to make the victims of proximity violence even more invisible. Few are the practices of resistance in local contexts
Relazioni di genere e forme di dominio simbolico. Il caso della professione dell'assistente sociale
No full textThe article highlights how the cultural models currently prevalent in some professional contexts in Italy - such as that of social workers - are still influenced by "male domination" (Bourdieu 1998). It develops a gender segregation that reproduces inequalities and asymmetries also in professional contexts traditionally female and imposes professional models based on "gender neutrality", which for the most part disregard relational and communicative skills fundamental in the care professions
The Provide Training Course. Contents, Methodology, Evaluation
Full text linkThis volume describes the ideational effort required to design and implement a training-course model for "Experts in proximity violence”. Proximity violence concerns multiple forms of gender-based violence which conceal, in turn, more subtle, intimate and viscous forms of dependence. The course was based on modules and availed itself of a "mixed" methodology, where theoretical lectures were interwoven with experiential workshops.
During the first six months of 2019, over 800 Italian, French and Spanish operators engaged on the migratory front, attended the courses. The model presented in the first two chapters of the present volume was accompanied and corroborated by a set of ex-ante and ex-post questionnaires. The first set, illustrated in chapter three, aimed at pin-pointing the training needs of the operators and stakeholders to whom it was administered and who then attended the course.
The ex-post questionnaires, presented in chapter four, regarded an appraisal of the course provided by those who had participated in and completed the course, and confirmed the positive achievement of the goal established by the Provide Project (Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme 2014-2020): that of defining a structured curriculum capable of addressing the problem of proximity and gender violence by providing adequate training, appropriate tools and skills to be used by professionals to identify, prevent and treat the phenomenon

Proximity Violence in Migration Times. A Focus in some Regions of Italy, France and Spain
Full text linkThis 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 protection, formal and informal good practices, as well as critical issues regarding the hosting of migrants, are explored and narrated by the co-authors of the volume thanks to the action research they conducted with the collaboration of a plethora of professionals who narrate and illustrate the topic of proximity violence, providing their own particular frames of reference, views and counterfactual reflections.
Furthermore, the discussion of legislation provided offers a cogent cross-section of what has been done to contrast the violence which thousands of asylum-seeking refugees undergo and how much national governments need to do to host and recognise victims of proximity violence
