Resumo

This conference will explore the transformation in the access to territory, mobility and rights. We will explore how the public image of refugees is transformed by xenophobic discourse and the everyday management of asylum rights, including the role of the private sector and the subsequent mobility of refugees. We will further explore the functioning of the access to rights of EU-migrants and the everyday functioning of other migration policies, including the access to healthcare, the detention of migrants and the access to citizenship. Finally, we will explore the political and electoral mobilisations of and in solidarity to migrants and minorities, including artistic expression, developed in answer to the new obstacles to migration.

 

Anúncio

Argument

The economic crisis started in 2008 and the increase in xenophobic political positions have contributed to the emergence of new obstacles to migration in Europe. The important arrivals of refugees in Europe in the 2010s have shown the limits of the asylum systems of several European states, and the refugees have been the object of limitations to their asylum rights and of the rise of xenophobic movements explicitly targeting refugees. Reduction in rights of asylum across Europe have added to previous tendencies of exclusion from social rights, conditionality of residence and citizenship on the basis of income and cultural conformity, detention and deportation. Intra-EU migrants have more recently seen limits in access to welfare, the rise of expulsions in certain EU-member states and, in the UK, the process of Brexit.

At the same time different categories of migrants have been developing new tactics in answer to the new obstacles, including new migratory practices and migratory circuits, political mobilisations, forms of solidarity, and practices of access to rights.

This conference, bringing together researchers from the GERME (Université Libre de Bruxelles) and CEDEM (Université de Liège) laboratories and from the University of Manchester, will explore the transformation in the access to territory, mobility and rights. We will explore how the public image of refugees is transformed by xenophobic discourse and the everyday management of asylum rights, including the role of the private sector and the subsequent mobility of refugees. We will further explore the functioning of the access to rights of EU-migrants and the everyday functioning of other migration policies, including the access to healthcare, the detention of migrants and the access to citizenship. Finally, we will explore the political and electoral mobilisations of and in solidarity to migrants and minorities, including artistic expression, developed in answer to the new obstacles to migration.
