Program > September 8SEPTEMBER 8, 202310.00 - 11.30 Governance and politics of migration Tiziana Caponio Università di Torino This lecture will provide an introduction to the analysis of the intricacies of migration governance and politics from a political science perspective. We will look at how the literature on migration policies has developed in Europe, from an institutionalist perspective which was dominant in the 1990s to a more process and governance-oriented perspective at the beginning of the 2000s. Examples of research studies carried on different types of policies and levels of government will be illustrated, with a particular attention to the local level, where the dynamics of migration policymaking have been the matter of a lively debate throughout the last two decades. However, the governance perspective has often neglected issues of power and politics. We will illustrate the centrality of these concepts for the understanding of migration policies in the current context of recurrent and continuous migration crises, with a focus on the reception of asylum seekers and refugees in small localities across Europe.
10.00 - 12.00 Exploring language and mediation in ethnoclinical setting Lei Huang & Shail Jha Passi@Unito/Università di Torino. CREtAM - Department of Cultures, Politics and Society In the realm of mobility, does the choice of a language of narration influence the content itself? What pivotal role does a cultural mediator play in this dynamic? With these questions, this workshop will foster active participation among attendees by exploring the significance of language(s) in articulating the experiences of discomfort and unease faced by international university students. Moreover, it will specifically explore how the presence of a cultural mediator, rather than a mere translator, introduces unforeseen possibilities for deciphering, interpreting, and negotiating the indeterminate meanings that arise within a clinical setting.
14.00 - 17.00 Journey of discovery of self and others / Today's activism is made of stories Paule Roberta Yao & Maria Rosaria Esposito Archivio delle Memorie Migranti (AMM) This workshop, divided into two parts (Journey of discovery of self and others and Today's activisim is made of stories), establishes a collective space for discussion and confrontation, in which each participant can experience and give self-expression, which is seen as the precondition for openness to the other. Thus, each individual can realize that he or she is part of a group and exercise self-narrative in order to prepare oneself to welcome the narrative of one's/their neighbor. Starting with some exercises for introducing ourselves (carried out twice, at two different times during the activities), each person is invited to change her/his point of view, to leave aside stereotypes and to act out one's own view of oneself and the world, which one wants in listening to the group. One's own story is a body, whose features it takes on and rehearses the joys, sorrows and memories. The screening of the film To whom it may concern (16') thus opens to the possible uses of self narrative: memory, but also example, action, militancy. The project DiMMi - Migrant Multimedia Diaries - will also be presented.
