Workshop 38
FROM THE MIGRANTS POINT OF VIEW: CRISIS AND NEWS TRENDS
Marta Vilar Rosales CRIA and FCSH-UNL
Claudia Pereira CIES IUL
The workshop aims discussing the intricate intersections between crisis and contemporary European migration at the level of individual and family experiences. More specifically, it will address the effects of todays crisis in migration trends, fluxes and strategies, as well as the role migration plays in crisis main contours. By drawing attention and to how people are assessing and managing their migration everyday experiences as a (in)direct consequence of the critical context Europe is facing at the moment, we aspire to call attention to the following key theoretical and methodological topics and, hopefully, contribute to their depiction:
a) Contemporary migrations present great diversity in terms of movement flows and directions and of their composition. How does this diversity unfold within increasingly universal relationships of power, many times translating the existence of global “structures of common difference” (Wilk 1995).
b) Contemporary migrations are problematizing the concepts of sending and receiving countries. This fact calls the attention to the importance of discussing the existent abstractions that inform and regulate contemporary policies, as well as of its impacts in terms of identity and belonging.
c) How to access and address the specificities, complexities, contradictions and even unintended consequences of migration, while exposing the regularities and variations these movements and the relationships that support them might entail (Portes and DeWind 2004). How to tackle their impacts at the micro level of everyday practices and sociability? How do subjects live, evaluate and refer to contemporary crisis? How does it overlap with migration?
d) From the migrants’ perspective, which are the crisis main global and individual manifestations? How does crisis and migration materialize in key social fields such as education, housing, consumption and health?
