Transnazionalismi in tempo di pandemia: il caso dei romeni in Europa
Full text linkThe mobility and immobility of intraEuropean migrants during the pandemic can be interpreted thanks to the concepts of "mobility regimes" and "selective transnationalism". The social and political crisis generated by COVID19 turns out to be a testing ground for these categories. The author analyses the case of Romanian migrants in Europe, and in particular in Italy. He demonstrates how the trajectories of mobility have been changed or reconfigured, taking into account power relations, consolidated representations and social inequalities, both in the country of origin and in the countries of arrival. The detailed analysis of migratory paths within a family group shed light on the great diversity in the effects of the crisis, in particular with reference to one of the most evident ones, social distancing, in all its forms

Il paese delle ciambelle”. Un secolo e mezzo di pratiche e immagini della mobilità in Romania
No full textThe countries of Eastern Europe have been, and continue to be, an interesting
crossroads of migratory streams, and have seen profound changes
in the mobility of populations arriving and leaving through the succession
of political regimes and economic systems. The Romanian case is emblematic
of this point of view. Since the mid-1800s, Romania has been a
land of emigration to the Americas, as well as a destination of immigration
from Western Europe. During the interwar period and again after World
War II, this mobility stopped, due to the closure of borders, and it was
replaced by clandestine emigration and labor/student migration within the
countries of the socialist bloc. Starting from the 1990s, with the reopening
of the borders, Romania went back to being a destination of immigration,
especially for small business owners from Germany and Northeast Italy. At
the same time, massive emigration towards Western Europe began and
gained momentum. Today, the continuing economic crisis in many European
countries has created new scenarios: on the one hand return migration
is consolidated, and on the other hand Romania has become a country of
settlement for new groups of foreigners as well as a transitory country, as
a gateway to Europe. Starting from the theoretical debate on the concept
of a “culture of emigration”, this article reflects on the social and cultural
implications of these different types of mobility, particularly the interconnections
and the historical ties built over the years with Italy. The study
presents three processes of the signification of the elsewhere, “hierarchy”,
“feminization”, and “ethnicization”, describing how the migratory choices
over time have been oriented by as well as shaped these ideas
Transitions to adulthood in Romania: a diachronic and intergenerational approach to mobility regimes
Full text linkAlthough internal and international mobility are two phenomena that have long involved
the Romanian population, they have rarely been studied as interrelated. Different forms of
mobility have assumed such social relevance in local contexts that they also play an important
role in young men’s transition to adulthood. In this article, I demonstrate how domestic and
international mobility are interconnected in the local system of meanings of young men
growing up in three different historical periods: in the 1970s, in the 1990s and in the last ten
years. Young men consider their mobility or immobility practices in continuity, but also in
contrast to those of the previous generations. Their choices are particularly complex today
because mobility patterns have become more diverse, encompassing additional internal and
international destinations, short term and circular migration, as well as onward and return
migration
Migranti nigeriani e associazionismo. Il caso di Torino
Full text linkLe ricerche sulla migrazione nigeriana finora in Italia sono davvero poche e per la maggior parte concentrate sui temi della tratta e delle reti di traffico della prostituzione (Kennedy, Nicotri 1999; Carchedi et al. 2000; Baiardo, Montorfano 2001; Ambrosini 2002). La mia ricerca si è collocata all’interno di questo panorama ed ha cercato di fornire uno sguardo più allargato e profondo sulle relazioni socio-culturali dei migranti nigeriani presenti nella città di Torino. In particolare in questo articolo approfondisco il tema delle forme associative e dei meccanismi di rappresentazione identitaria, articolando l’analisi nei seguenti aspetti: la composizione socio-demografica del gruppo, il rapporto tra rappresentazioni discorsive della comunità e i referenti reali di tali rappresentazioni, il tema della partecipazione politica e sociale nell’arena cittadina attraverso l’adesione alle associazioni etniche

No full textA strong tradition of anthropological studies highlights how institutions tend to produce classifications and put in place a process of framing in which immigrant groups are identified in advance and are therefore constructed as objects of policy. These framings direct social interventions and shape the public perception of the Roma. This article is the result of ethnographic fieldwork conducted among Roma and non Roma Romanian immigrants in four neighbourhoods in Turin, Italy and in Caraș-Severin, their departure region in Romania. Research brought to light complex dynamics by examining some illustrative life stories. In response to the attitude of the institutions, the protagonists of these stories make strategic use of cultural features, exacerbating the difference, or hiding it with processes of mimicry. Some rediscovered their ethnicity, benefitting as “nomads” from special housing projects; some dealt with the features of identity in a “segregating” form; some, despite not having Roma ancestors, in Italy define themselves as “Gypsy”, adopting the distinctive economic survival strategies of the Roma. This research study has shown how, in Italy and in Romania, the boundaries between identity categories are constantly negotiated.
