“Si la terre tourne, tu tournes avec elle”. Una nuova produzione video/A new video production

Georges Kouagang è un collaboratore del Laboratorio di Sociologia Visuale proveniente dal Camerun. Un richiedente asilo che è arrivato in Italia attraverso il Mediterraneo. Salvato da una nave dell’ONG “SOS Mediterranée” e sbarcato al porto di Pozzallo; trasferito, poi, a Genova, Georges dopo alcuni anni dal suo arrivo, ritorna in Sicilia insieme ad alcuni ricercatori del Laboratorio di Sociologia Visuale e, rivivendola, racconta la sua storia. La sua testimonianza è diventata “Si la terre tourne”: un nuovo documentario di Massimo Cannarella, basato su una ricerca di Luca Queirolo Palmas, Federico Rahola, Jacopo Anderlini e Luca Giliberti.

Georges Kouagang is from Cameroon and collaborates with the Visual Sociology Research Group. He is an asylum-seeker who arrived in Italy through the Mediterranean Sea. He has been rescued by a ship of the NGO “SOS Mediterranée”, then he landed at the port of Pozzallo. Subsequently he has been transferred to Genoa. After several years from his arrival in Italy, Georges returns to Sicily together with some researchers of the Visual Sociology Reseearch Group and, while re-experiencing it, he gives shape to his story. His account has become “Si la terre tourne”: a new documentary by Massimo Cannarella based on a research led by Luca Queirolo Palmas, Federico Rahola, Jacopo Anderlini, and Luca Giliberti.

Juan Pablo Aris Escarcena joins Disfor and becomes a resident member of Laboratorio di Sociologia Visuale

Juan Pablo Aris Escarcena has joined Disfor (Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione) of the University of Genova. Juan Pablo is an anthropologist specialising in the policy analysis of European Union border areas. In his research on European borders he has incorporated elements from other disciplines, such as philosophy or sociology, and from different sub-disciplines, such as legal anthropology, symbolic anthropology and, of course, the anthropology of migration processes. Juan Pablo has published in high-impact journals and books, analysing various border locations such as Ceuta, Calais, Ventimiglia, and on “refugee camps”, such as in Greece in Katsikas. In collaboration with the filmmaker Nicolás Braguinsky Cascini, he directed the documentary film “Solidarity Crime: the borders of democracy”. The documentary is based on his doctoral research and focuses on the criminalisation of illegalised migrants and the people who have shown solidarity with them. It has been screened at several international documentary film festivals (in Caracas, Barcelona, Geneva, Leuven…). It has also received the critics’ and public awards at the “Tulipani di Seta Nera” 2021 Festival in Rome, and the Persecutedaward at the XIII edition of the Festival dei Diritti Umanidi Napoli. The collaboration between Juan Pablo and Nicolás has continued, and they are currently working on a documentary project on the participation of Colombian exiles in the transitional justice process in Colombia, through the first Truth Commission that incorporates testimonies from the diaspora. The project is funded by ICIP. Juan Pablo got in touch with the Laboratorio di SociologiaVisuale joining the first school of visual and filmic sociology (“Prima Scuoladi Sociologia Filmica e Visuale”) coordinated by Prof.Luca Queirolo Palmas. Subsequently, during his PhD, Juan Pablo was part of the European project GOVDIV — Multilevel governance of cultural diversity in a comparative perspective: EU and Latin America (FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IRSES. Marie Curie Actions- International Research Staff Exchange Scheme – IRSES) in which DisFor also participated. Now, as a post-doctoral researcher, and as a beneficiary of the grant “Ayuda para la recualificación del sistema universitario español” he joins our team, and we’re glad to welcome him on board!

E’ uscito un nuovo numero monografico di “Mondi Migranti” / A new monographic issue of “Mondi Migranti” is out (eds. Luca Giliberti, Swanie Potot)

Mondi Migranti, 3/2021 – Migrazioni, frontiere, solidarietà (editors: Luca Giliberti, Swanie Potot) –
https://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Sommario.aspx?IDRivista=149

Nella contemporanea “crisi dell’accoglienza” il supporto dal basso ai migranti in transito, in particolare nei luoghi di blocco come i nodi di confine, assume un ruolo centrale in relazione alla mobilità verso e all’interno dell’Europa. La
parola “solidarietà” – concetto fondativo delle scienze sociali ma poco esplorato negli ultimi decenni – diviene oggi nozione di riferimento nella vita quotidiana delle borderlands europee, oltreché di un’emergente letteratura scientifica che prende forma all’interno degli studi migratori. Questo numero monografico della rivista Mondi Migranti, con contributi in italiano e in francese che analizzano tali pratiche su diversi nodi di confine in Europa, intende partecipare all’incipiente articolazione di nuove prospettive di ricerca su migrazioni e frontiere attraverso le lenti della solidarietà.

In the contemporary “reception crisis”, grassroots support for migrants in transit, especially in blocking sites such as border nodes, assumes a crucial role in relation to mobility towards, and within Europe. The word “solidarity” – is a founding concept in the social sciences, yet scarcely explored in recent decades, now becomes a reference notion in the daily life of European borderlands, as well for an emerging scientific literature taking shape within migration studies. This special issue of the journal Mondi Migranti, containing contributions both in Italian and in French, focuses on such practices in different border nodes across Europe, meaning to participate in the incipient articulation of new research perspectives on migration and borders through the lens of solidarity.

Approccio hotspot e navi quarantena. Le politiche di controllo confinario ai tempi della pandemia. Un articolo di Jacopo Anderlini e Silvia Di Meo

Hotspot, navi quarantena e il saldarsi delle pratiche di contollo sanitario con il frame discorsivo emergenziale che riguarda le migrazioni: le politiche confinarie dell’Unione Europea, nell’epoca della pandemia stanno mettendo in luce tutti i limiti di un sistema inadeguato e foriero di problemi e, soprattutto, disumanità.

In un articolo sulla rivista il Mulino, Jacopo Anderlini e Silvia Di Meo mettono in evidenza come l’emergere della questione sanitaria nel sistema di controllo confinario abbia accentuato e legittimato una molteplicità di processi e pratiche di selezione e trattenimento extra legali. Attraverso il sistematico confinamento dei migranti in luoghi situati in frontiera, con accertate violazioni della libertà personale e dei diritti fondamentali dell’asilo, dell’informazione e della salute si porta avanti un approccio profondamente permeato dalla disumanità e, allo stesso tempo, si rimuove la questione dal dibattito pubblico.

Hotspots, quarantine ships and the combination of health control measures with the emergency discursive frame concerning migration: in the age of pandemic, EU border policies are highlighting all the limits of an inadequate system, premonitory of problems and, above all, inhumanity.

An article by Jacopo Anderlini and Silvia Di Meo, in the magazine “il Mulino“, shows how the emergence of the health issue in the border control system has accentuated and legitimized a multiplicity of extra-legal selection and detention processes and practices. Through the systematic confinement of migrants in places located on the border, with ascertained violations of personal freedom and the fundamental rights of asylum, information and health, an approach deeply permeated by inhumanity is pursued and, at the same time, it contributes to the removal of the issue from public debate.
