Full textAbstract:
Refugee children who experience severe pre-migratory adversity often show varying levels of mental health upon resettlement. Thus, it is critical to identify the factors that explain which refugee children experience more vs. less healthy outcomes. The present study assessed child social–emotional capacities (i.e., emotion regulation, sympathy, optimism, and trust) as potential moderators of associations between child, parental, and familial pre-migratory adversities and child mental health (i.e., internalizing and externalizing symptoms) upon resettlement. Participants were N = 123 five- to 12-year-old Syrian refugee children and their mothers living in Canada. Children and mothers reported their pre-migratory adverse life experiences, and mothers reported their children’s current social–emotional capacities, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing symptoms. Greater familial (i.e., the sum of children’s and their mother’s) pre-migratory adversity was associated with higher child internalizing and externalizing symptoms upon resettlement. Higher emotion regulation and optimism were associated with lower internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and higher sympathy was associated with lower externalizing symptoms. In contrast, higher trust was associated with higher internalizing symptoms. Finally, higher child optimism buffered against the positive association between familial pre-migratory adversity and child internalizing symptoms. In sum, select social–emotional capacities may serve as potential protective factors that support mental health and buffer against the deleterious effects of pre-migratory adversity in refugee children.

Full textAbstract:
European sociological studies on refugees who are hosted by national protection systems primarily focus on intervention practice and are particularly attentive to the regulatory and social conditions that produce refugees’ precariousness. Studies that consider refugee subjectivity through migratory experiences are rare. In the case of unaccompanied minors, a protection/control dynamic is widespread, as the vulnerability of young refugees is often used as a pretext for setting up institutions to contain their aspirations and their life plans. This article argues that analysis of the role of religion, i.e., the place of the religious in the experiences of unaccompanied minors, is a way to focus on the subjectivities of young refugees, thereby building an understanding of the essential issues surrounding the migration experience. The article is based on research conducted in Calabria, in southern Italy, involving unaccompanied Muslim minors hosted in reception centres. With the aim to understand the religiosity of individuals, this empirical investigation presents the migratory experience of each minor, taking into account trajectories, family ties, and ways of transitioning into adulthood. Considering how these three areas are interconnected by the young refugees’ ‘musulmanity’ (their sense of being Muslim) has made it possible to be attentive to their agency, to the meaning these minors give to their actions, and to their migratory experiences.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the US migratory novel and the reasons it has been overlooked in literary scholarship. It is emphasized that the study of migration experience is important as it represents the worldview of historical subjects who, although they contributed a lot to the building of the New World, always existed on the margins of both real life and fiction. Literary scholars concentrated on the fictional images of colonizers, builders of a new world order, pioneers, farmers, cowboys, but not immigrants as such, although all these identities of American history were rooted in the migration experience, whether of their own or of their parents or grandparents. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the genre of the American migratory novel, which is underrepresented in literary criticism, and to identify the connection between migration literary discourse and the ideological regimes of specific historical periods. Nevertheless, migratory fiction serves as a powerful tool for negotiating narrow group representations within the larger receiving community. By depicting the experiences, challenges, and aspirations of migrants, it offers a platform to explore the complexities of cultural identity, displacement, and assimilation. Migratory fiction challenges the dominant narratives and stereotypes imposed upon migrant communities, seeking to humanize their stories and promote empathy and understanding among the receiving community. These narratives navigate the fine balance between preserving the unique cultural heritage of migrants and engaging with the broader context of their new surroundings. They challenge existing notions of national identity, fostering a more inclusive and diverse understanding of what it means to be American. A perspective for further research is the analysis of migration experience in literary writings and its correlation with developments in other fields of humanities. As migratory fiction expands our horizons, encouraging us to embrace and celebrate the multifaceted nature of diversity in all its forms.

Full textAbstract:
How seasonal migration originated and impacted diversification in birds remains largely unknown. Although migratory behaviour is likely to affect bird diversification, previous studies have not detected any effect. Here, we infer ancestral migratory behaviour and the effect of seasonal migration on speciation and extinction dynamics using a complete bird tree of life. Our analyses infer that sedentary behaviour is ancestral, and that migratory behaviour evolved independently multiple times during the evolutionary history of birds. Speciation of a sedentary species into two sedentary daughter species is more frequent than speciation of a migratory species into two migratory daughter species. However, migratory species often diversify by generating a sedentary daughter species in addition to the ancestral migratory one. This leads to an overall higher migratory speciation rate. Migratory species also experience lower extinction rates. Hence, although migratory species represent a minority (18.5%) of all extant birds, they have a higher net diversification rate than sedentary species. These results suggest that the evolution of seasonal migration in birds has facilitated diversification through the divergence of migratory subpopulations that become sedentary, and illustrate asymmetrical diversification as a mechanism by which diversification rates are decoupled from species richness.

Successful bird migration can depend on individual learning, social learning, and innate navigation programs. Using 8 years of data on migrating whooping cranes, we were able to partition genetic and socially learned aspects of migration. Specifically, we analyzed data from a reintroduced population wherein all birds were captive bred and artificially trained by ultralight aircraft on their first lifetime migration. For subsequent migrations, in which birds fly individually or in groups but without ultralight escort, we found evidence of long-term social learning, but no effect of genetic relatedness on migratory performance. Social learning from older birds reduced deviations from a straight-line path, with 7 years of experience yielding a 38% improvement in migratory accuracy.

Bible is enriched with migratory stories. The salad pages of the Genesis of the Bible expose the story of the Migration of Adam and Eve from their divinely granted habitat, and the closing pages of the Book of Revelation restore man from the migratory phenomenon. This article proposes to enhance how the spiritual community comprehends the modem challenges of the migrant world, especially with Middle East migration. This paper adopts an Interpretive Phenomenological Approach (IPA) where the experience can be a source of information providing detailed examinations of personal lived experience.

Since 1990 Albania has experienced massive external and international migration due to political, economical and social changes occurred in Albanian society. Albanian migration represents a variety of migratory experiences and a combination of different forms of migration (internal, external, temporary, permanent, etc) and destinations. Albania’s contemporaneous mass emigration and internal migration over the short span of time since 1990 provides an excellent laboratory to study the inter links of these types of migration (King R, Skeldon R, - Vullnetari J, 2008: 33). Migration and remittances have changed the social face of Albanian society. Based on the theoretical framework of De Haas (2010) that social remittances can further strengthen migration aspiration, the aim of this paper is to highlight the impact of financial and social remittances from emigrants to Greece in encouraging internal (rural to urban) and external ongoing migration. Data collection will be provided by in-depth interviews. This paper will base on case-histories of Albanian families with different migratory experience to show off how emigration to Greece has lead to a subsequent internal migration within Albania.

Increasing number of pregnancy applications (apps) are complementing healthcare systems to educate expectants and improve their maternal well-being. Using similar kind of applications for people from multicultural background might have varied impact on their pregnancy experiences. Especially for immigrants, cultural beliefs first set in their home country, might conflict with practices followed in country of residence and information provided in digital resources. This study aimed to compare the perceptions on pregnancy app usage by first-time expectants living in Sweden from native and migrant perspectives. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews through an online platform, Zoom, and explored the users’ opinions on app’ usage. Twelve first-time expectants were recruited through snowball sampling technique using social media group. Data was then analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis. The findings indicate the importance of understanding healthcare practices and social support in country of residence. Participants expressed that they developed a connection with unborn through pregnancy apps. However, app usage raised conflicts between user expectations from knowledge gained by apps and information provided by healthcare system, also exposed potential problems faced by immigrants due to different approaches followed by Swedish healthcare system. Participants using English apps expressed that they are receiving updates according to American healthcare system, while participants using Swedish apps asserted that they are getting relevant information adapted to Swedish society. The study advocates that the apps are not well-suited for migratory background users and provided possible solutions to improve existing pregnancy apps for maximum number of users to benefit.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the history of black British Caribbean migrants in Cuba during the early twentieth century. It centres on their experience of social and racial discrimination within Cuban society, and how this was influenced by the historical legacy of black fear in Cuba and the social, political, and economic changes the country experienced from 1898 to 1938 (i.e., foreign intervention, social and political revolts, and economic depressions). The racial, ethnic, and identity dynamics in the interaction between the migrants, Cuban society, and the consular representatives are examined in detail. The study avoids the generalisations that are prevalent in the historiography, and contributes with new insights into the history of this migration through its emphasis on different migration patterns, the experiences of the various islanders, and the complex identity politics and social practices of resistance, adjustment, and accommodation in which the migrants were involved The thesis looks at the triangular relation between the black British Antilleans, Cuban society, and the representatives of the British Empire at various levels, and reveals the otherwise unacknowledged agency of the migrants in gaining consular support. The complex debates on race, ethnicity, identity, and nation arising from this case study are of prime relevance not only for the understanding of migration processes in Caribbean societies, but also for the study of nation formation in Cuban society and British colonial and imperial history, At the same time, these debates are connected to wider issues concerning the relationship between race and nation, and racism and migration in the Caribbean past and present. The study is of an interdisciplinary nature and combines archival and documentary research with interviews, ethnographic data, and anthropological and sociological literature.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Este trabalho tem como foco analisar a experiência migratória de jovens peruanos que se dirigem ao Brasil como estudantes universitários. Entendendo a experiência migratória como um conjunto de vivências proporcionadas pelo deslocamento por diferentes espaços geográficos e simbólicos concomitantemente, a tese examina os significados que preenchem de sentido a mobilidade estudantil internacional. Baseando-se no método etnográfico, que tem na intersubjetividade uma condição para produção de conhecimento, a presente pesquisa analisa como os estudantes se apropriam das condições oferecidas pela sociedade peruana e brasileira para a realização deste tipo particular de mobilidade. Quando ainda estão no Peru, os jovens descobrem através de suas redes as oportunidades de estudar no Brasil, um país próximo geograficamente, mas distante culturalmente. No país de destino, as redes apoiam a adaptação dos jovens à vida cotidiana no Rio de Janeiro. Se tornar um estudante no exterior é a estratégia que os jovens peruanos elaboram para se integrar ao fluxo internacional de pessoas de forma mais socialmente prestigiada, lidando com as hierarquias de poder da sociedade peruana, que atribuem um maior valor àqueles que já viveram no exterior. Negociando com as condições estruturais dentro e fora do seu país, estes jovens encontram na mobilidade estudantil uma oportunidade para almejar novos horizontes. Neste processo, os jovens peruanos encontram um terreno fértil para (re)pensar a si mesmos, seu país de origem, o destino e o mundo.<br>This work aims to analyze the migratory experience of Peruvian young people who go to Brazil as university students. Understanding the migratory experience as a set of experiences provided by displacement towards different geographical, and symbolic space concomitantly, this thesis examines the meanings that give a sense to international student mobility. Through ethnographic method, which consider intersubjectivity as inherent to knowledge production, the present study examines how peruvian students appropriate the conditions that Brazilian and Peruvian society offers to make this specific kind of mobility possible. Still in Peru, their network inform them about oportunities to study in Brazil, a country that is geographic close, but cultural distant from them. Once peruvian students arrive there, network in Brazil uphold their adaption to everyday life in Rio de Janeiro. To become an international student is a strategy that Peruvian young people ellaborate to be integrated into international people flow in a more prestigious way. In this process, they deal with power hierarchy of Peruvian society, that attribute greater valeu to those who have lived abroad. Negotiating against structural conditions in and outside their homecountry, these young people find in student mobility an opportunity to crave new horizons. In such process, they find a fruitful terrain to (re)think themselves, their homeland, the destination and the world.

Full textAbstract:
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) undergo arduous upstream migrations In order to spawn. To date, much scientific attention has focused on why certain migrants succeed in reaching their destination while others die trying. Less is known about how 'successful' spawners differ in the quality of the progeny they produce. Using sockeye salmon O. nerka (Walbaum) as a model, two artificial fertilization experiments were conducted to investigate the relationships between individual salmon and their offspring. In the first experiment, I evaluated survival, size, and burst swimming ability in fry of known parentage (spawners from the Weaver Creek population). After four months of exogenous feeding, fry size remained under significant maternal influence. Paternal identity did not affect size but significantly influenced both egg and fry survival. Burst swimming ability was not affected by parentage and only weakly associated with offspring size. In the second experiment, I evaluated an 'energetic trade-off' hypothesis which proposes that because adults migrate with a fixed energy budget while completing sexual maturation, investments to reproductive development may be impaired by an increase in the costs of swimming to reach spawning grounds. This hypothesis was evaluated by subjecting migrants to two different 'migration difficulties' (i.e. current speeds). Fish in the 'fast' treatment expended more energy than those in the 'slow' and also showed signs of greater physiological stress. However, these differences did not appear to influence allocations to reproductive development in terms of sex trait morphology, ovulation timing, and reproductive hormone levels. Likewise, the survival, incubation time, and size of progeny were not related to the treatments experienced by their parents. These traits were nonetheless influenced by parental identity, with significant contributions from both male and female parents. Regression models showed that offspring size and survival were linked to certain aspects of maternal condition at the time of fertilization, including size, stress, and energy levels.<br>Forestry, Faculty of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette recherche consiste à identifier et comparer les potentialités de l'entrepreneur migrant de retour à celles de son homologue Local. Rappelons que bien qu'un nombre important de recherches a traité l'entrepreneuriat et les caractéristiques entrepreneuriales, aucune, à notre connaissance, n'a étudié les potentialités de l'entrepreneur migrant de retour. Le souci de combler le manque de recherches gestionnaires et de contribuer au débat scientifique sur cette thématique nous a conduit à nous appuyer sur deux principaux paradigmes des traits et des faits de l'entrepreneur pour asseoir le concept de potentialités entrepreneuriales. Le corpus théorique obtenu s'appuie sur le modèle d'Yvon GASSE. Il établit un lien entre les différentes approches des traits et faits (caractéristiques et comportements), intègre les facteurs extrinsèques (milieu) et conduit à faire émerger le modèle conceptuel de notre thèse. Ce corpus théorique est relayé par le questionnaire adapté de Gasse qui a été administré à un échantillon de 393 entrepreneurs Marocains MRE (40%) et Locaux (60%). Les MRE sont les Marocains Résidents à l’Etranger revenus au Maroc pour créer leur entreprise. Les Locaux sont ceux qui résident depuis toujours au Maroc et qui sont entrepreneurs. Ce sont donc deux types d'entrepreneurs d'origine Marocaine mais avec des parcours de vie différents (migrants et non-migrants). Les 393 questionnaires sont soumis aux techniques multidimensionnelles d’analyse de données approfondies. Les résultats obtenus permettent de répondre à notre question de recherche : le niveau des potentialités de l’entrepreneur migrant de retour est diffèrent de celui de l’entrepreneur Local. L'expérience migratoire a permis à l'entrepreneur MRE de développer un niveau de potentialités entrepreneuriales plus élevé que celui de son homologue Local. De tels résultats font émerger des leviers originaux pouvant alimenter les dispositifs d’accompagnement endogènes. Leur combinaison au test de Cronbach fournit une grille réduite et adaptée du modèle de Gasse augurant un accompagnement différencié des futurs entrepreneurs MRE et Locaux<br>The objective of this research is to identify and compare the potentiality of the return migrant entrepreneur back to those of his Local counterpart. It should be recalled that while a significant number of research has addressed entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial characteristics, none, to our knowledge, has studied the potential of the returning migrant entrepreneur in relation to his Local counterpart. The concern to fill the lack of managerial research and to contribute to the scientific debate on this topic has led us to rely on two main paradigms of the traits and the facts of the entrepreneur to establish the concept of entrepreneurial potentials. The theoretical corpus obtained is based on the model of Yvon GASSE. It establishes a link between the different approaches of traits and facts (characteristics and behaviors), incorporates extrinsic factors (middle) and leads to the emergence of the conceptual model of our thesis. This theoretical corpus is relayed by the adapted questionnaire of Gasse which was administered to a sample of 393 Moroccan entrepreneurs MRE (40%) and Local (60%). The MRE are Moroccan residents abroad who have returned to Morocco to create their business. The premises are those who have always been resident in Morocco and who are entrepreneurs. They are therefore two types of entrepreneurs of Moroccan origin but with different life paths (migrant and non-migrant). The 393 questionnaires are subject to multi-dimensional data analysis techniques. The results obtained allow us to answer our research question: the level of the potential of the returning entrepreneur is different from that of the Local contractor. The migratory experience has enabled the MRE entrepreneur to develop a higher level of entrepreneurial potential than that of his Local counterpart. Such results are emerging from the original levers that can feed the endogenous accompaniment devices. Their combination with the Cronbach test provides a reduced and adapted grid of the Gasse model, auguring a differentiated accompaniment of future MRE and Local entrepreneurs

Full textAbstract:
En psychologie, l’expérience de la migration est principalement étudiée sous l’angle des risques qu’elle comporte. Dans le cadre d’une approche socio-culturelle et historique du développement, elle peut être considérée comme une transition psychosociale propice à la personnalisation (Baubion-Broye et al, 2013). Le croisement des modèles de la socialisation et des ressources symboliques respectivement développés par Malrieu (2003) et Zittoun (2007) permet de considérer le rôle étayant des œuvres (Meyerson, 1948) dans le développement des sujets engagés dans une transition telle que la migration. La littérature laisse à penser que la musique/le musiquer (Small, 2020) peut justement soutenir des processus de personnalisation.Dans ce cadre, l’objectif de cette recherche est d’éclairer les fonctions que le musiquer remplit dans le développement des personnes engagées dans la transition psychosociale que constitue l’expérience migratoire via une approche compréhensive, inductive et une méthodologie qualitative.Des entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés avec 60 adultes (30 H, 30 F), âgés de 20 à 70 ans (m = 35 ; σ = 11), de 31 nationalités différentes, ayant immigré en France à l’âge adulte pour des raisons contrastées, y résidant depuis 1 mois à 48 ans (m = 7,5 ans ; σ = 123 mois) et ayant des niveaux de pratique musicale variés. Leurs discours ont fait l’objet de 4 analyses : lexicométrique (Alceste) ; de contenu (Nvivo) ; « dynamique » (frises développementales) ; statistique.Les résultats montrent que : 1) la transition psychosociale migratoire sous-tend effectivement un processus de personnalisation même lorsqu’elle est subie ou porteuse de violences ; 2) les pratiques musicales des sujets ne se restreignent pas à celles de leurs milieux d’origine mais sont singuliers ; 3) parmi d’autres ressources, la musique remplit des fonctions d’ordre : émotionnel, symbolique, temporel et social soutenant l’élaboration des changements dont les sujets font l’expérience<br>In psychology, the experience of migration is principally studied from the perspective of the risks that it carries. As part of a socio-cultural and historical approach to developmental psychology, migration can be considered as a psychosocial transition which is favourable to personalization (Baubion-Broye et al, 2013). The combination of the socialisation and symbolical resource models, respectively developped by Malrieu (2003) and Zittoun (2007), enable us to consider the supporting role of artefacts (Meyerson, 1948), specifically those that are to do with the development of subjects engaged in a transition such as migration. The litterature suggests that music / musiking (Small, 2020) may indeed assist the process of personalization.Within this context, the objective of this study is to illuminate the functions that musicking fulfills in the development of people undergoing the psychosocial transition that constitutes the migratory experience via a comprenhensive, inductive approach, and a qualitative methodology.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 60 adults (30 males; 30 females) ; aged between 20-70 years (m=35 ; σ =11) ; from 31 different nationalities, having migrated to France as adults for various reasons ; and having been resident between 1 month and 48 years (m=7.5 years ; σ = 123 months) and having varying levels of practical musical ability. Their accounts were used in 4 analyses : lexicometric (Alceste) ; from content (Nvivo) ; 'dynamic' (developmental timeline) ; statistical.The results show that : 1) the migratory psychosocial transition effectively underlies a process of personalization, even when it is subjected to, or the cause of violence ; 2) the musical practices of the participants are not restricted to those of their orginal environnement but are unique ; 3) amongst other resources, music fulfills the functions of different natures : emotional, symbolic, temporal and social, supporting the development of the changes undergone by the participants

Full textAbstract:
Le motif du voyage repose au sein de la littérature mexicaine comme l’un des principes constitutifs d’une diversité de générations et de pratiques littéraires dans le pays. Il est certain que la littérature mexicaine témoigne, à travers de divers optiques et discours, du sens de la nation et de l’identité mexicaines tout en montrant les basculements qui les conforment. Le motif en question s’y prononce de manière aussi bien directe qu’indirecte, et fait l’objet d’une transformation existentiel et littéraire qui obéi tout un éventail de changements esthétiques. Sous l’écorce vaste du motif viatique il y a une relation étroite entre la mémoire, les espaces vécus et toutes sortes de déplacements. Celle-ci est perceptible dans une multiplicité de manifestations littéraires au Mexique, notamment à partir du XXe siècle grâce au déploiement de techniques et d’explorations littéraires. Cette investigation analyse les dialogues et les correspondances parmi trois écrivains mexicains du XXe siècle : Sergio Pitol, Esther Seligson et Fabio Morábito. Bien qu’ils appartiennent à des différentes générations littéraires, cette étude se focalise sur un corpus sélectionné vis-à-vis le partage de certains mécanismes d’intersection entre la littérature et l’expérience du voyage, c’est-à-dire, de ce que nous appelons « écritures migrantes et pratiques d’espaces », idée que nous empruntons de Michel de Certeau, Robert Tally et Astrid Erll. Ainsi, nous montrerons les manières dont la thématique du voyage articule l’identité, la mémoire et l’écriture à l’aune d’une hétérogénéité d’espaces, de migrations et de géographies existantes au cœur de trois propositions littéraires représentatives à ce sujet<br>Travel is a subject that remains in Mexican Literature as a constituent element over different generations and literary practices in the country. It is certain that Mexican Literature testifies, through many discourses and viewpoints, about Mexican nation and identity sense by displaying issues around it. Travel queries about it as direct as indirect form and is the object of an existential and literary transformation according to esthetic changes. Inside the huge appearance of travel subject there is a relation between memory, life spaces et all types of displacement. This relation is perceptible over multiple literary manifestations in Mexico, especially in twentieth century because of literary techniques and explorations deployment. This work aims to analyse dialogues and similarities in three Mexican writers of twentieth century: Sergio Pitol, Esther Seligson et Fabio Morábito. If they become from different generations, that is not an obstacle to focus in a selection of literary works regarding some mechanisms where literature and travel experience converge, in other words, that we call “migrant writing and practice of spaces”, ideas that we took from Michel de Certeau, Robert Tally et Astrid Erll. Thus, we will discuss forms of which travel subject organise identity, memory and writing in the light of a heterogeneity of spaces, migrations and geographies in all three representatives literary works

Full textAbstract:
La thèse étudie la socialisation et l’éducation des enfants issus de couples mixtes formés par un parent italien et un parent originaire d’Afrique sub-saharienne, en Italie. Le travail s’inscrit dans une perspective écologique des familles et s’appuie sur les acquis théoriques des études sur la mixité et sur les processus d’acculturation. La démarche vise à comprendre les stratégies identitaires, culturelles et éducatives réalisées par les parents à partir de leur point de vue. Trois axes complémentaires sont explorés : expérience migratoire et formation du couple, transmission identitaire et culturelle, et stratégies éducatives parentales. La démarche empirique suit une approche compréhensive. L’étude concerne 19 familles. Des entretiens narratifs ont été menés auprès de 18 mères et 11 pères. Les résultats mettent en évidence les interactions entre expérience migratoire du parent africain et dynamiques familiales. La multi-dimensionnalité des contextes familiaux mixtes (linguistique, religieuse, ethnique, culturelle, sociale) crée des profils familiaux uniques. Une multi-factorialité impacte les stratégies parentales (vécu migratoire, origine socioéconomique, stigmatisation, « migration de contact et intérieure », relations avec les familles élargies et transnationalisme, relations sociales). Le rôle du contexte social est déterminant. La perception de discriminations raciales complique la gestion des différences. L’appartenance à des réseaux sociaux soutenant, la valorisation de la culture du parent migrant et le partage de valeurs communes aident les parents à dépasser ces difficultés. L’étude fournit des connaissances nouvelles sur un milieu familial émergeant<br>This research studies socialization and education of children born from mixed-couples formed by an Italian and an African sub-Saharan parent, living in Italy. The study is developed within an ecological framework of families, and it is based on theoretical knowledge gained from studies concerning mixedness and acculturation processes. Our aim is to better understand identity, culture and education strategies developed by parents, and the way parents perceive such strategies. Three complementary directions of research are explored: migratory experience and union formation, transmission of identity and culture, and parenting strategies. The empirical stage of the research is based on a qualitative methodology. The investigation concerned 19 families; 18 mothers and 11 fathers were interviewed by narrative techniques. The results show the interaction between the African parent migratory experience and family dynamics. The various dimensions of the mixed familiar contexts (linguistic, religious, ethnic, cultural, social) create unique family profiles. Several factors impact parenting strategies: migration, socioeconomic background, stigmatization, « migration of contact and internal migration », relationships with the extended family and transnationalism, and social relationships. Social context is decisive. The perception of racial discrimination hinders dealing with differences. Supportive social networks, valorization of migrant culture, and sharing common values help parents to overcome these difficulties. This research provides a new knowledge about an emerging familiar context

"Des romances au-delà des frontières : la globalisation genrée du marché matrimonial : échanges intimes, expériences migratoires et réflexivités sur le genre dans les conjugalités franco-postsoviétiques (1990-2015)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Lyon, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021LYSE2043.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’extension des aires de recrutement des conjoint·e·s au-delà des frontières et vise à mettre en lumière les transformations importantes qui touchent les unions transnationales depuis les années 1990. D’une part, il s’agit de comprendre les conditions sociologiques et historiques de l’augmentation de ces unions et, d’autre part, d’interroger leur caractère éminemment genré. Pour ce faire, la thèse se consacre à l’analyse des conjugalités franco-postsoviétiques et se déploie de manière kaléidoscopique : alliant méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives et naviguant entre différents sites d’enquête (Russie, Ukraine, Belarus, France), elle fait varier les échelles d’observation pour accéder aux logiques de la globalisation du marché matrimonial. La thèse restitue aussi un cheminement de recherche : elle passe ainsi par une analyse sociohistorique de régimes de genre situés produisant des masculinités et féminités (in)désirables, à une exploration ethnographique multisituée de l’entremise matrimoniale globalisée où ces projets de genre sont centraux, en passant par une étude quantitative des capitaux qui circulent et s’échangent sur le marché matrimonial globalisé. De là, la thèse plonge dans la complexité et l’épaisseur des parcours de vie en restituant en miroir les parcours de femmes postsoviétiques et d’hommes français engagé·e·s dans un mariage transnational. Si les premières donnent à voir des projets où s’entremêlent le matrimonial et le migratoire, les seconds sont avant tout dans une quête d’ascension sociale où le professionnel prime. De ces parcours parallèles surgissent néanmoins des points de rencontre : au cœur des interactions intimes, comprenant leur lot d’ajustements et de désajustements, émergent des réflexivités sur le genre produites à la fois dans l’expérience migratoire et par la conjugalité transnationale<br>This thesis focuses on the extension of spouses' recruitment areas beyond borders and aims to shed light on the important transformations that have affected transnational unions since the 1990s. On the one hand, it intends to understand the sociological and historical conditions of the increase of these unions and, on the other hand, to question their eminently gendered character. To do this, the thesis is devoted to the analysis of French-Post-Soviet conjugality and unfolds in a kaleidoscopic way: combining qualitative and quantitative methods and navigating between different fieldworks (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, France), it varies the scales of observation in order to access the dynamics of the globalization of the marriage market. The thesis also presents a research path: it moves from a socio-historical analysis of situated gender regimes producing (in)desirable masculinities and femininities, to a multi-sited ethnography of global matrimonial matchmaking where these gender projects are central, through a quantitative study of the capitals that circulate and are exchanged on the globalized matrimonial market. From there, the thesis dives into the complexity and thickness of life-courses by mirroring the paths of post-Soviet women and French men engaged in a transnational marriage. If the first ones testify to projects where matrimonial and migratory aspects are intertwined, the second ones are above all in a quest for social ascension where the professional aspect prevails. From these parallel life-courses, however, points of encounter emerge: at the heart of intimate interactions, with their share of adjustments and maladjustment, emerge reflexivities on gender produced both by the migratory experience and by transnational conjugality

Full textAbstract:
The volume, produced within the framework of the COMMIT project “Fostering the Integration of Resettled Refugees in Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Spain”, concerns the current European situation, and in particular the teaching of L2 in its relations and interdisciplinary exchanges with other scientific fields dealing with migratory phenomena; therefore, starting from the COMMIT experience, it offers a wide perspective, going beyond the borders of the countries involved in the project and identifying good practices that can be replicated in different territorial and social contexts to ensure successful social inclusion of newly arrived citizens. COMMIT is a project funded by the European Commission (DG HOME), co-financed by the Ministry of Interior and the Project Partners and managed by the Mediterranean Coordination Office of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in Italy. The project was implemented in collaboration with the IOM Missions in Croatia, Portugal and Spain, together with the Communitas Consortium, the Adecco Foundation for Equal Opportunities and the University for Foreigners of Siena (UNISTRASI). The project activities were implemented from 1 January 2019 to 30 April 2021. The project, based on the idea that successful integration of resettled refugees occurs both by putting in place certain structural conditions and by promoting mutual exchange between resettled refugees and their host communities, aimed to support their integration into their new communities, with a special focus on women and young refugees as particularly vulnerable groups. A secure humanitarian migration route to the European Union launched in 2013 is targeted at refugees who are beneficiaries of resettlement. Several Member States, including Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Spain, have therefore established or strengthened their national resettlement and humanitarian admission programmes for resettled refugees of Syrian, Eritrean, Ethiopian or Sudanese origin. In preparation for resettlement, beneficiaries participate in a series of pre-departure cultural orientation activities. Among them, training in L2 language and culture plays a crucial role. The book hence tries to offer answers to the many challenges that characterise the field of language education in contexts marked by the presence of migrants from an interdisciplinary perspective. It provides for effective solutions for an inclusive language education, attentive to ‘vulnerable’ subjects, paying attention to the interweaving of complex individual, social, cultural and economic contexts, such as school and university training courses and reception and resettlement programmes in host societies. In particular, the current situation in Italy, regarding both teaching L2 in a school context and teaching modern languages to adult foreigners, is still lacking in interdisciplinary relations and exchanges between language teaching and other scientific fields dealing with migratory phenomena. However, in recent years a particular sensitivity and empathy towards linguistic and cultural contact have developed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter will explore how children experienced a sense of community and family within the context of migration, focusing on case studies from the nineteenth century and the Viking Age. In particular, the chapter will look at two main migratory contexts: transnational and internal migration. There has been extensive research on migration in diverse contexts and time periods by archaeologists, but the experiences of children of migration have largely been unexplored. Analysis of recent migrations, principally by social scientists, has highlighted the distinctive experiences that children may have of migration, and revealed that children are often important mediators of the ensuing cultural interaction and assimilation, being particularly socially adept at extending adult social networks in new settings. Children can, indeed, be shown to shape the migratory experience in fundamental ways.

Full textAbstract:
In Endless Andness, Mieke Bal pioneers a new understanding of the political potential of abstract art which does not passively yield its meaning to the viewer but creates it anew - an art perceived not only through the retina but experienced viscerally. In this book, the third of her companion volumes on art's political agency, Bal explores perception through an intense engagement with the work of Belgian sculptor Ann Veronica Janssens. In a series of vividly-recalled encounters with Janssen's practice over a number of years, Bal presents a new conception of embodied perception - art experienced in a body conjured into participation and transformed by the experience. From Janssens' 'mist room' works and the CorpsNoir sculptures through to the fugitive, porous Aerogel, Bal traces an art which eludes the subject-object distinction to alter our ideas about the potential of political art in abstract and figurative forms. Enticing us simultaneously to lose ourselves and to come home, the tenuous materiality of installation art empowers those who live in the permanently lost and migratory condition that characterizes contemporary experience. In celebrating and interrogating the work of this prolific and innovative artist, Mieke Bal transforms our understanding of non-representational art to create a new awareness of perception and performance in the shared spaces of our world.

Full textAbstract:
Transpositions examines a variety of new Euro-Mediterranean literary, cinematic, artistic, and musical works that are inspired in many senses by the movements of contemporary migration. Divided into four parts, the collective volume focuses first on diverse representations of migration in chapters that explore “Mediterranean Crossings.” It then turns to questions of translation, multilingualism, and plurality in chapters united under the heading “Multilingual Aesthetics and Poetics.” In reflections on creative expression in genres ranging from theatrical works to films to the fine arts, the third section titled “Performance Arts” is devoted to migration and exile. The final portion of the publication, “Musical Movements,” focuses on music as a form of composition as well as a the thematic and stylistic influence on depictions of displacement, underscoring its capacity to add multiple layers of meaning to the migratory experience. Transpositions is attentive to the innovative forms of French—to new Francophonies—that are emerging in recent texts wherein authors and artists are compelled to transpose migratory realities into a different linguistic and cultural context. The works that embody transpositions into French may not be fully comprehensible to the reader or the listener since these films, plays, pieces of art, musical compositions, and written publications are so often situated beyond the borders of what is customary. They nonetheless communicate a great deal as they incorporate new, inventive elements that push the limits of formal composition to speak to—and represent—an expanding audience, and this volume revels in these new creations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A central question in the debate on justice in immigration is whether immigrants have a right to stay; this book argues that liberal-democratic receiving states should also grant migrants a right not to stay. This claim runs against the presumption that migrants always desire to move on a permanent basis and intend to forge a completely new life in the country of destination. From this perspective, temporary migration is always a second-best option for migrants, engendered by the closed and often punitive migration policies of receiving countries. This book’s innovative focus on the right not to stay is prompted instead by the realization that increasing numbers of migrants throughout the world conceive and plan their migratory experience as circumscribed in time and instrumental to goals and projects that they will pursue once back in their country of origin. These temporary migration projects are worthy of being accommodated by the receiving states as much as the migratory plans of those who resolve or aim to immigrate on a permanent basis. Accommodating them entails setting up the appropriate welfare measures and programmes in the host country and, through bi-lateral agreements, in the country of return. This is especially important in view of the fact that very often the migrants who engage in temporary migration projects find themselves in a condition of high vulnerability and risk. The ‘right not to stay’ advocated in this book is a positive and substantive right to see one’s project of temporary migration-and-return protected and accommodated by institutions.

AbstractI hope that readers of this book will have found in it a complete and inspiring overview of the many issues at stake around the topic of domestic work, from a migratory perspective. Some of the issues discussed in this volume actually go beyond the experience of migrants, in as far as they may concern the non-migrants among domestic workers. But they also concern workers in the care sectors more generally, as well as the households, companies or institutions for which they work.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBroadening the conceptual scope beyond the Global North and ‘Asian biases’, this chapter takes cognisance of the challenges of universalistic approaches to migration realities, which undermine the fact that both experience and knowledge are contextual. Emphasis is on re-theorising migration to account for contextual specificities that shape the realities of moving within the Global South, particularly in Africa where migration – subsequent to involuntary push factors such as civil war, political violence, economic challenges, extreme poverty and social realities specific to the continent – is often a forced experience compared to the Global North where it is a choice and lifestyle. Contextual theories of migration in this chapter avoid rendering the specific universal by exploring how the state polices the migratory process; the social meanings society attaches to ‘that which is foreign’; and the ultimate meaning of being a black African migrant in Africa. These contextual realities call for conceptual renegotiation of the meaning of Africanness or African identities, especially for black Africans located in spaces of violent and brutal prejudice against those perceived as foreign. The main conceptual contribution is built around experiences that hardly find their way into mainstream discourses and theorisations where Global North and Asian biases have dominated what has become to be known as literature and theories of migration.

Full textAbstract:
Sima Gong and Zeng Xin are two of the most prominent contemporary Sinophone writers in Thailand. Although they were born in Thailand, they frequently write about migration. In this chapter I want to ask why the motive of migration is so prominent in their works and how they write about it. I argue that their ancestors’ quest from China to Thailand is indeed not the focus of attention but the wandering between these two places. Although they did not physically migrate from China to Thailand, these authors use literature as a means to travel mentally between the two countries, and “re-live” the migratory experience through their texts. Analyzing these selected texts offers a unique insight into the authors’ floating identity, one that is constantly migrating between China and Thailand.

AbstractProfound developments in terms of scale, diversity of digital media and prosumerism (García-Galera & Valdivia, 2014; Madianou, 2011) in the last decade have resulted in vast monitoring of movement, migratory or otherwise. While migrants have been outlined as digital natives, early adopters and heavy users of digital technologies (Ponzanesi & Leurs, 2014); the intersection of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and migration is still under-researched (Oiarzabal & Reips 2012), Madianou’s (2011) work being a notable exception. As Leurs and Prabhakar highlight (2018, p. 247), the implications of the rise of ubiquitous and pervasive technologies (software and hardware) for the migration experience can be grouped in two sets of media practices. On the one hand, these technologies are used to reproduce and (forcefully) enforce top-down control by (state) authorities. On the other, they enable migrants - both voluntary and forced - to connect (dis)affectively, manage kinship and other relationships (Cabalquinto, 2018; Madianou, 2012; Prieto-Blanco, 2016), participate in collective processes (Siapera & Veikou, 2013; Martínez Martínez, 2017; Özdemir, Mutluer & Özyürek, 2019), establish a sense of belonging (Yue, Li, Jin, & Feldman, 2013; Budarick, 2015; Gencel-Bek & Prieto-Blanco, 2020), and move money across borders (Aker, 2018; Batista & Narciso, 2013). “[T]he transformed epistolary base and the communication infrastructure of the migrant experience” (Hedge 2016, p. 3), with their distinct affordances, impact on how migration is currently understood via a focus on connectivity and presence. Stay in touch. Remain within reaching distance. Leave, but let your presence linger.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter critiques the individualist thrust in migration studies and the assumed “autonomous agency” of prospective migrants, especially in the context of the Global South. It recasts migration as a collective project through a case study of Hadiya migration to South Africa, the place of origin or most of Ethiopian migrants. The chapter makes the case for a processual understanding of migration rather than a synchronic approach with its nature changing on the “individualist-collectivist continuum” across time. It is argued that the success of Hadiya migration to South Africa is largely due to its collective nature at the various stages of migration processes—from decision-making, to the various forms of social support that enable cost sharing and ease the process of settlement at destination. At the same time however, the material wealth accumulated in South Africa, and the greed that underpins it, has contributed to the erosion of the collective imagination of social life and the increasing centrality of individualist perspectives, particularly viewed in businesses and investments. As such, the collective benefits accrued at early stages are now being lost and the negative consequences are becoming perceptible. The chapter concludes making a case for bringing in a temporal approach that examines changes in the individualist/collectivist conceptions of migratory agency at different phases of the migration experience.

Full textAbstract:
Recent studies on migrants’ social and professional integration in Switzerland indicate that migrant women are the most vulnerable group. Researches highlight the “deskilling power” of migration but tend to focus on a descriptive level, without considering the influence of context and the heterogeneity of migrants’ experiences. This qualitative study aims to investigate the meaning of migration and integration process from participants’ point of view: their challenges, strategies and the impact of the migration experience on self-image. Semi-structured interviews (n = 30) were conducted with two groups of skilled migrant women: group one are skilled women who migrated through the invitation of an international company (Expats) and group two are skilled women who migrated and had to find a job by themselves (Indep). Data is analysed by thematic content analysis (assisted by Nvivo). First results indicate that there are similarities between participants’ experiences concerning the importance of their first encounters when arriving in Switzerland. Their migratory project and expectations seem to be key elements for motivating integration strategies. Professional and social integration imply dealing with shifting boundaries of belonging and a dynamic negotiation of self-image between diverse groups, which they consider as a resource but may also lead to different perceptions of deskilling.

Full textAbstract:
Since the United Nations made a call in 2016 to facilitate online education for migrants worldwide, the number of online initiatives targeting this profile of students has been growing. The rapid growth in course offerings and students' enrolment has mistakenly been considered evidence for the increased accessibility of university education. However, improving access to higher education is a complex and multidimensional social issue beyond allowing the disadvantaged in universities. Thus, our research aims to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the accessibility of online higher education rooted in an actual online HE practice, going beyond the point of entrance. This article focuses on the biographical narratives of three alumni from the Open University of Catalonia, each with migratory backgrounds from a different continent of origin and previous university experience, illustrating the journey of obtaining an online bachelor's degree. A set of influencing factors has been identified, based on which the accessibility of online education has been reconceptualised. Additionally, we suggest strategies to better support this profile of students in the context of online universities.

Full textAbstract:
Given its Geographical Location, Morocco is a market between Africa and Europe. This current privileged situation, in essence, creates significant challenges and opportunities in the field of sub-Saharan migration, a crucial question that affects not only Morocco's national policy, but also regional and international dynamics. Historically, Morocco has been considered an immigration country. As a result, the establishment of a large Moroccan community over the years has been essential in Europe. Over the last ten years, the country has become a place of transit and migration for a large number of sub-Saharan populations wishing to travel to Europe. In addition, thanks to a set of controls on the EU borders, Morocco has become a stabilization push. Managing sub-Saharan migration is a complex game for Morocco. This is why the Moroccan government is seeking reforms aimed at improving the living conditions of migrants in a regular situation and combating the traffic of people. Adopting national strategies for migration and asylum allows the operations of organizing millions of foreigners residing on their lands. Despite these efforts, challenges persist. Irregular migration in Sub-Saharan Africa remains a topic of concern, particularly with regard to border security and the preservation of migrants' rights. There are many factors that delay this migratory flow. Despite demographic pressure in countries of origin, linked to conflict, poverty, and political instability, many sub-Saharan people can seek opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
Large areas of shallow, sandy seas are covered by migrating tidal sand waves. Sand wave migration rates are on the order of 10s of meters per year, with heights between 10 and 30% of the water depth. If such regions are traversed by pipelines, the dynamic interaction between the rock-berm protection of the pipelines and the migratory sand waves must be accounted for to assure the long term stability of both the rock-berms and pipelines. This study employs a 2DV model to demonstrate the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic interaction between migrating sand waves and a rock-berm constructed perpendicular to the migration direction. The timescale of sand waves and the design life of rock-berm are similar, consequently, rock-berms in sand wave regions experience a change in bed level approximately equal to that sand wave height. Due to the large difference in temporal scales between local erosive processes and sand wave migration, the passing of a sand wave is manifest as a general rising or falling of the ambient seabed, while a rock-berm is fixed at its construction elevation. Consequently, the critical design case is for a rock-berm constructed at a sand wave crest since the surrounding bed level decreases throughout the operational life of the pipeline. A conservative design approach is to construct rock berm protection in a sand wave trough, resulting in rising ambient seabed levels throughout the operational lifetime of the underlying pipeline or electrical cable.

This work aims to propose a reading and analysis of the behaviors of migrant women's networks (Granovetter 1973)[7] and imaginal and cultural dynamics that are triggered when they come into contact with the health and care sector. The relevance of the migration network before and during the migratory experience has already been dealt with in sociology but the possible influence of this, both positive and negative, in the integration process and during transition phases in which we deal with the theme of health or the problematization of tradition and culture of origin need further deepening. The network is a fundamental resource to facilitate anticipatory socialization processes and to support subjects in their integration into the destination country but can also cause tensions at the individual and network level. The methodology chosen for the survey is that of the analysis of second-level sources and qualitative interviews with the health personnel who usually deal with these women. Semi-structured interviews provided qualitative data while creating understanding of the issue for both the researcher as well as the interviewees. The moment of contact with the health sector is identified in that of childbirth and care as a significant time from a personal and collective point of view. The desire for safety and tradition confronts women with new approaches that are not always welcome. The birth of a new family unit in another context turns out to be an important moment to address issues related to the transmission of culture, the management of the network in a phase of rooting and the comparison of subjects with well-defined regulatory and social frameworks. Author think that the chosen methodology could be useful to study the �resistance level� of migrants to new cultural approaches perceived as an attack to identity (Corvino 2021)[4].

Full textAbstract:
The current presentation includes several queries regarding the interaction of migration and globalization – one of the most significant phenomena of social transformation in recent decades, as well as the meanings that this interaction presents for artistic research and practice. The major social and cultural transformations that have taken place in recent decades following more intense migratory movements have sparked an interest among artists for creating visual discourses, which, by using languages specific to different genres and environments, contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about migrants and migratory experiences different from the discourses generally offered and exploited by the media and public opinion. In cultural studies, the mobility turn also influences how contemporary art reflects on the direct and indirect implications of migration. The selection of works we analysed (which mainly use the medium of documentary photography) challenges the way we understand the notions of space and time, by exploring ideas regarding the concepts of (at)home and road, which are, moreover, two of the notions that undergo most changes during migratory experiences. The artistic projects selected reconsider defining the concept of (at)home as the place where the individual builds his sense of belonging, referring only to the physical house and not just to a single house set in an immovable place, but considering multiple connotations of the idea of home. Migrants' personal narratives reveal the ways in which individuals move between multiple homes, developing attachments and reinventing their identities along the way. Considering both the international context of migration and the particular case of Romanian economic migration as a recent phenomenon with important socio-cultural implications, I sought to investigate through my own artistic practice how documentary photography can become an environment for reflection on the topic, by combining autobiographical elements and a subjective discourse added to the objective dimension.

Generating design-enabled innovation implies the identification of social, technological, and cultural changes taking place nowadays and of the opportunities offered by the digital transformation, which enters these processes, playing an important role in all areas of contemporary life, from urban, domestic, health and services in general.In our era, the ambient intelligence pervades objects such as cities; electronic perception systems collect information and data from us, trying to understand our needs and give us answers. Cities are real living laboratories for experimenting new technologies on an urban scale.Big Data management represents one of the critical points of the ongoing revolution. The data can give information about people, understand behaviors, change city policies and so on. Big Data represent a qualitative leap in digital culture; nothing exists in Big Data before questions, explained De Kerckhove [1].“It is also and above all a cognitive revolution, where the answer no longer comes from the question. The large amount of data that comes from the pervasive use of technology already contains all the answers, but it has no value if it is not interrogated with the right questions. As McLuhan says, when all the answers are at hand, it's only the question that matters" [1].The perspective is then reversed: the first step in making society smarter is not to collect as much data as possible or develop an infallible algorithm, but it is necessary to identify the relevant expectations and needs in and for that society and ask the right questions, and to investigate what it represents, in the collective imagination, the quality of life and what technology can generate as a response.The project presented starts from the observation that we are faced with a strong migratory and global tourism flows that are affecting European cities, placing us in front of a growing multiculturalism in urban areas, with consequent issues related to the inclusion of cultural diversity and dialogue. The landscape of cities in many European countries has changed significantly, and the use of public space and services is no longer suited to the needs of multicultural citizens. This phenomenon has developed rapidly, without an adaptation of social policies, services, and spaces to emerging needs, creating evident problems of inclusion and dialogue between different cultures.Digital technologies and ubiquitous computing systems offer many opportunities for designing products and services aimed at increase interaction, collect, and share information, knowledge, emotions, experiences, through platforms that support the increase of social awareness.The research investigates how to use digital technologies and which design strategies and creative, communicative and process paths can be used to promote inclusion through interaction and communication between the different cultures that coexist in the same smart city context.Promoting interaction in public spaces, between citizens with different cultural backgrounds, becomes a crucial element to support social cohesion and to facilitate coexistence between different cultures. Opportunities to mix people in daily life reinforce shared values and goals.One of the best approaches that can be adopted for the design of new urban spaces and services is co-design, which indicates collective creativity as it is applied throughout a design process and involves all stakeholders, encouraging and supporting them to take an active role in this process.Following the indications of Findeli [2], this design research was carried out with the tools of design, and above all with its most original and specific characteristic, the project, developing in this specific case a pilot product-service.The project, funded within the H2020 framework program, made it possible to experiment with design tools to foster the engagement of different cultures present in the urban environment and encourage them to interact with each other, also including other types of stakeholders, from public administration to small/medium enterprises and to third sector associations.All the areas of cultural heritage, tangible, and intangible, where every culture has many stories to tell, have emerged as the most suitable areas for experimenting with new ways of interacting and communicating through which diversity can be encountered and compared. Five design for storytelling strategies guided the project: i) building relevance; ii) design for experience; iii) interactivity; iv) immersion; v) inclusion.[1] De Kerckhove Derrick, Psicologie connettive, Milano, Egea, 2014.[2] Findeli Alain, “Design research-Introduction”, Design Issues n. 15(2), 1999.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The role of B cells in multiple sclerosis (MS) is increasingly recognized. B cells undergo compartmentalized redistribution in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during active MS, whereby memory B cells accumulate in the CSF. While B-cell trafficking across the blood– brain barrier has been intensely investigated, cellular diapedesis through the blood–CSF barrier (BCSFB) is incompletely understood. Objectives: To investigate how B cells interact with the choroid plexus to transmigrate into the CSF, we isolated circulating B cells from healthy donors (HC) and MS patients, utilized an inverted cell culture filter system of human choroid plexus papilloma (HIBCPP) cells to determine transmigration rates of B-cell subsets, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy to analyze migration routes, and qRT-PCR to determine cytokines/chemokines mediating B-cell diapedesis. We also screened the transcriptome of intrathecal B cells from MS patients. Results: We found that spontaneous transmigration of HC- and MS-derived B cells was scant yet increased significantly in response to B-cell specific chemokines CXCL-12/CXCL-13, was further boosted upon pre-activation and occurred via paracellular and transcellular pathways. Migrating cells exhibited upregulation of several genes involved in B-cell activation/migration and enhanced expression of chemokine receptors CXCR4/CXCR5 and were predominantly of isotype class switched memory phenotype. This antigen-experienced migratory subset displayed more pronounced chemotactic activities in MS than in HC and was retrieved in intrathecal B cells from patients with active MS. Trafficking of class-switched memory B cells was downscaled in a small cohort of natalizumab-exposed MS patients and the proportions of these phenotypes were reduced in peripheral blood yet were enriched intrathecally in patients who experienced recurrence of disease activity after withdrawal of natalizumab. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the relevance of the BCSFB as an important gate for the entry of potentially harmful activated B cells into the CSF.

In I Congreso Internacional sobre Fotografia: Nuevas propuestas en Investigacion y Docencia de la Fotografia. Universitat Politècnica València, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/cifo17.2017.6716.
Full textAbstract:
En 2007 Google lanzó el proyecto Google Street View que consistió en crear un archivo visual de todas las vías transitables del planeta. Aunque su finalidad es proporcionar la información de orientación en el espacio a los usuarios de Google Maps, este archivo fotográfico tiene muchas más utilidades potenciales. Así, artistas como Jon Rafman, Paolo Cirio o Joachim Schmid se han interesado por esta plataforma informática como fuente de la inspiración creativa. Además, dado que este software nos permite pasear por cualquier parte del mundo que ha sido registrada por los automóviles Google, para un inmigrante representa la posibilidad de realizar un viaje virtual a su tierra. Es importante mencionar que el territorio constituye parte del contexto en que se desarrolla la subjetividad del individuo, ofreciéndole un referente de identificación simbólica (Valera, 1997; Zapiain Aizpuru, 2011). A su vez, el paisaje es la percepción personal del territorio que depende de las experiencias vinculadas al mismo (Giménez, 2001; Montejano y Sierra, 2014). El cambio del país de residencia no sólo expone al inmigrante a una cultura diferente, también lo priva del contacto con los lugares que guardan recuerdos de los acontecimientos de su pasado. Esta relación íntima entre la memoria, la identidad y el paisaje, dota a las imágenes que retratan estos espacios significativos de una carga emocional muy potente, y permite al inmigrante contar su historia a partir de los escenarios de su actuación pasada. De modo que crear un relato visual compuesto por las fotografías de Google Street View, reinventando así la idea del álbum familiar, permite reconstruir la narrativa subjetiva a partir de estas imágenes vinculadas al espacio y a una persona en concreto. Por tanto, nuestra hipótesis tratará de demostrar cómo la plataforma Google Street View puede servir como herramienta para la mediación artística con el colectivo inmigrante. Para ello, primeramente haremos un breve recorrido por los estudios desarrollados en distintos ámbitos que darán fundamento a nuestra tesis. Seguidamente, esbozaremos una propuesta de taller, cuya metodología se basará en las premisas marcadas en el estudio de Moreno (2010) sobre la mediación artística para la intervención social. Los participantes realizarán un viaje virtual a su tierra natal y crearán un álbum de recuerdos “prestados”, apropiándose de algunas imágenes mediante captura de pantalla y, así, poder rememorar su lugar de origen a través del paisaje fotográfico. Se trata de una tentativa de restablecer la continuidad del relato personal, interrumpido por la experiencia del desplazamiento. El momento clave de la experiencia sería la presentación de los resultados individuales ante el grupo, acompañando el relato visual con una narración de las vivencias personales vinculadas a los lugares registrados. Este intercambio permitirá compartir el duelo del desarraigo y sentir el reconocimiento y la aceptación por parte de los compañeros. Así, la persona desplazada tendría la oportunidad de reestructurar su narrativa subjetiva y construir nuevos lazos afectivos con el entorno de acogida. De esta manera, en esta investigación definiremos el planteamiento general de la propuesta de taller.
