Famiglie globali : le frontiere della maternità
No full textOrmai da molti anni, il nostro paese trae beneficio dal lavoro domestico e assistenziale delle donne migranti: queste lavoratrici sono spesso madri che si allontanano dai propri figli, dai familiari, dalla terra natìa in cerca di una fonte di sostentamento all'estero, rimanendo separate, talvolta per anni, dai propri affetti rimasti in patria. Anche se il loro numero è in continua crescita, la sociologia ha solo di recente cominciato a prendere seriamente in considerazione questa spiccata connotazione femminile e familiare dei flussi migratori. In questo volume Paola Bonizzoni cerca di mettere in luce alcune delle implicazioni più rilevanti di questo fenomeno: la dimensione transnazionale dei legami familiari, contraddistinta, in particolare, dalla maternità a distanza, l'attenzione alla dimensione politico-normativa che disciplina i ricongiungimenti, i mutamenti a cui vanno incontro le relazioni familiari dei migranti, sotto l’aspetto delle relazioni di genere ed intergenerazionali, a seguito della ricollocazione dei legami in Italia

Making home at the borders of citizenship: Migrants, home, and (il)legality
No full textA growing literature at the intersection of citizenship and border studies have theorized borders as filters drawing distinctions through socio-cultural, legal and administrative constructs of deservingness extending from the territorial “entry gates” into the “soft inside” of citizenship (Bonizzoni 2016, 2020; Chauvin and Garcés-Mascareñas 2012, 2014; Gargiulo 2017, 2021; Horton and Heyman 2020; Yuval-Davis, Wemyss and Cassidy 2019). These socio-legal constructs produce a wide array of categories – EU-citizen/TCN, legal/illegal; refugee/economic/family migrants – stratifying migrants’ access to citizenship rights, including the right to housing (Andersen, Turner and Søholt 2013; Jacobsen 2006; Morris 2002). As migrants’ access to (private and public) housing is heavily mediated by the possess (or the lack) of a certain status, the latter can heavily constraint migrants’ housing choices regarding where to live, for how long and with whom. This includes both vulnerable and especially protected groups hosted in reception centres (e.g. unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers and refugees, trafficked women...) as well as undocumented migrants pushed to live in camps, squats or in the informal housing market (Agier 2011; Campesi 2018).
At the same time, the possess (or the lack) of “adequate” and “proper” housing represents a key element informing policies and bureaucrats’ decisions that can bear relevant consequences for migrant’s (il)legality and citizenship rights, more broadly. In other terms, homelessness, precarious and informal housing can turn into a key trait of the “deserving” (un)citizen, jeopardizing a wide array of status-related assessments and procedures, including naturalization, family reunification and legalization opportunities.
As argued by Walters (2004) under domopolitics, migrants are “guests”, who must be monitored and disciplined to ensure “good” behaviour. This chapter, drawing on an extended and cross-national review of studies on immigration, home and (il)legality, aims to show how this efforts extend into the private space of home to produce inclusionary/exclusionary public outcomes in terms of bordered (un)citizenship
Living together again : families surviving Italian immigration policies
No full textIn this article we provide an understanding of the challenges that immigrants have
to face to relocate their nuclear families abroad. We will show that immigrants are
often forced to leave their dependent relatives behind for much longer than
expected, and that, despite their efforts to maintain intimacy at distance, the
transnational managing of remittances and care entails certain risks. Both the
separation experienced and the living conditions that reunited members face in
Italy can make reunification itself a very sensitive moment in the life-course of
these families, since the process of adaptation to the receiving society leads
relatives to reshape and renegotiate their respective family roles and responsibilities.
We are going to highlight how the availability of extended ties can
represent a concrete form of support for many immigrant couples and lone
mothers both during the separation and in their struggle to reunite their relatives,
as well as after the reunification has taken place
