Rethinking Knowledge Production on Portuguese Migrations by Bridging Arts and Academia
For a long time, knowledge production in Europe has relied on epistemologies that marginalise the body. In particular, non-visual senses have been overlooked. Building on a scholarship that foregrounds sensoriality and emotions in migration studies, this paper argues that attending to sensory experience fosters reflexivity and enables renewed understandings of the macro, meso and micro-processes shaping identity and belonging. Authored by a socio…
Transformation of Solidarities, Transformation of Statehood
This closing article of a special issue on pro-migrant solidarities reflects on the evolution of literature surrounding international migrations and solidarities over the past decade. Central to our analysis is the observation that the transformation of solidarities corresponds intricately with the rescaling of statehood, marked by its increasingly transnational nature. As states undergo processes of reconfiguration and disengagement, a simultane…
Filmic sociology
City diplomacy of ordinary cities
This paper adds to the literature on urban diplomacy by focusing on the role of smaller cities with an active international engagement in migration matters. What are the motives driving the involvement of these “ordinary” cities in international groupings? What role do these cities play in the circulation of policies related to migration integration? How does it translate into local policies? To do so, we rely on a quantitative analysis of 64 net…
Dignity as a method. Pluriversal dignity approaches in place-based visual research on migration and its implications for governance
In this article, we propose building on the concept of ‘pluriversal dignity’ as a method integral to visual research conducted through a place-based approach to migration. We draw attention to the lack of a consistent definition of ‘dignity’ and the fact that it is context-dependent, as this is where, in our view, its potential lies for visual, place-based research on migration. In fact, for migration scholars, the potential for encounters betwee…

Multisensory approaches in migration studies
Collaborative filmmaking as a conveyor of (migrant) women's embodied experiences in Portuguese academia
Multisensory approaches in migration research
Yet, the ‘sensuous scholarship’ is not always considered in the systematic methodological process when visual methodologies are at stake. The aim of this paper is to problematise this stance in the context of the particular field of migration research. Our aim is to ‘de-essentialise the visual’ by presenting cases from our studies on immigrant communities in Norway, Turkey, Israel, and Portugal, and to exemplify how the embodied knowledge gained …
(Inter)Cultural Heritage and Inclusion for Migrants - Bridging the Gap
Cultural heritage has traditionally been studied within two realms: that of the nation-state, and that of other institutionalising bodies such as UNESCO. Scholars have highlighted a tendency in the
City Branding and Intercultural Heritage in Amadora, Portugal
The Portuguese city of Amadora hosts the first national registry of an immigrant Intangible Cultural Heritage to this day: the Kola San Jon celebration in the self-built neighbourhood of Alto da Cova da Moura. Many other practices, events, manifestations, and arts could be recognised as immigrant cultural heritage in this city, yet only a few are indeed recognised and supported by the municipality. Through the analysis of four ‘vignettes’, I sugg…
Local immigrant policies in Israel
This article unpacks the making of immigrant policies in ordinary cities from the point of view of the various actors involved in it. Based on ethnographic work conducted in Israeli cities located away from the Tel Aviv–Jerusalem axis, yet involved since the establishment of the State of Israel in the welcoming of Jewish immigrants, it focuses on the actors’ intentions and actions producing new scalar arrangements for the purpose of newcomers’ se…
On the Use of Visual Methods to Understand Local Immigration Politics
In this chapter, I present the making of an ethnographic film, which I filmed during a research project in geography carried out from 2013 to 2017 and entitled Victory Day . The chapter provides a reflection on the use of film to capture political actions, specifically the ones targeting immigrant groups. It also shows the extent to which filmmaking relates to experiences of the participants involved, and to the sensorial experience of a place. W…
Crafting an Event, an Event on Craft. Working Together to Represent Migration Experiences
The following text aims at analysing a posteriori the organisation of a public gathering on international migration which took place in Marseille in 2018, and brought together scientific, artistic and militant practices. We first describe the craft of this event. Then, we reflect upon the theme of this book section - collaboration. We ask to which extent hybrid practices, that is the de-compartmentalising of social sciences, art and activism, ena…
‘It’s a Matter of Life or Death’
In this article, we aim to identify the actors and unpack the discourses and administrative practices used to increase current mobilities of people (Jewish immigrants, investors, tourist visitors, and evicted residents) and explore their impact on the continuity of the settler-colonial regime in pre-1948 Palestinian urban spaces which became part of Israel. To render these dynamics visible, we explore the case of Acre—a pre-1948 Palestinian city …
The role of established immigrants within institutionalised immigrant integration in Israel
To which extent does the participation of ‘co-ethnics’ in immigrant integration policy implementation enable a more accommodating approach towards newcomers? Whereas immigrant integration policymaking has usually been envisaged through a host/stranger prism, Israel municipal departments for “Aliyah and absorption” (that is for Jewish immigration, and the integration of new Jewish immigrants) provides an interesting case: the last decades, they ha…
La judaïsation de la ville d’Acre
Dans cet article, nous soutenons que les politiques néolibérales ont non seulement contribué à maintenir les processus de déplacement et de dépossession des Palestiniens dans les villes dites mixtes en Israël, mais ont également créé de nouvelles techniques et opportunités pour accélérer la judaïsation des quelques espaces palestiniens restants. Cette recherche vise à éclaircir les discours et les pratiques administratives relatifs aux mobilités …
La couleur du travail »
Cristiana Bastos a mené ses travaux aux États-Unis et au Portugal sur la biopolitique en contexte colonial, l’histoire de la santé, les dynamiques de populations liées aux mobilités transnationales et la production de catégories racialisées. Cet entretien revient sur les origines de son travail conceptuel en mettant l’accent sur les découvertes empiriques qui l’ont conduite à repenser les liens entre les migrations portugaises et la colonisation.…
La colonialité du pouvoir aujourd’hui
Ce dossier recherche la forme de pouvoir que constitue la « colonialité » aujourd’hui, par l’examen de la gestion raciste, ethnique et genrée des déplacements d’individus et par l’analyse des rapports sociaux dans les espaces concernés par les migrations. Les contributions de ce dossier prennent pour objet les techniques de gouvernance des mouvements de population, les systèmes de règle satisfaisant la violence sur les personnes migrantes et les …
Revisiting the diversity-urban development nexus
Réalisation d'un film ethnographique dans une ville périphérique israélienne
La mobilisation grandissante de l'audiovisuel en sciences sociales (Gehin ; Giglio-Jacquemont, 2013) réactualise des questions qui se posent dès l'introduction de la photographie et du film ethnographique, il y a cent ans : quelle réciprocité instaurer avec les sujets filmés ? Quelle est la part de l'interprétation de l'ethnographe ? « Comment rendre visible sans stigmatiser ? » (Raulin et al., 2016). À partir de ces questionnements, l'objectif d…
Post-colonialisme, hyper-sécurisation des frontières et ethnographie
Jacinthe Mazzocchetti est professeure en anthropologie au Laboratoire d’Anthropologie Prospective (LAAP) de l’Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL). Ses travaux ont porté successivement sur la jeunesse burkinabé de Ouagadougou en rêve de mieux vivre, sur les bandes urbaines (les “adolescents en exil”) à Bruxelles, et sur les jeunes filles placées par le juge en IPPJ (Institut Public de Protection de la Jeunesse) en Belgique. Plus récemment, ses …
Du national au municipal ? Perspectives locales sur les politiques d’intégration en Israël
Cet article analyse les tensions entre la politique nationale d’intégration des immigrés (juifs) en Israël, et l’interprétation locale de cette politique dans le cadre municipal. Si les autorités locales reproduisent des logiques d’État, l’analyse des politiques d’immigration et d’intégration de trois villes moyennes israéliennes entre 2013 et 2016 nous amène à constater deux ruptures par rapport à la politique nationale. La première est l’adopti…
Immigration and the city
Une approche par les échelles de la transformation du pouvoir et de l'autorité de l'État au travers de la politique publique d'immigration et d'intégration de quatre villes frontières en Israël
Ce projet est le fruit d’une réflexion entamée dès 2010 dans le cadre de mon activité professionnelle. Je travaillais en parallèle sur des questions d’urbanisme et de développement économique local, et des questions liées à l’intégration des immigrés. Ces deux champs paraissaient associés, pourtant, alors que les villes situées dans des régions en développement accueillent des populations immigrantes, rares sont celles qui entrevoient les bénéfic…
