The Panicocene in Italian media. Discourse analysis of climate migration narratives
Purpose This study aims to analyze the evolution of climate migration narratives in Italian print media from 2014 to 2024, examining how crisis-driven framings perpetuate the “Panicocene” – an era characterized by the fusion of climate and migration discourses into narratives of emergency. Design/methodology/approach Through a systematic qualitative analysis of 106 articles from the Carta di Roma Association’s press review, this research reveals …
Climate Mobility Justice: Narratives and Visual Politics of the Panicocene
Imaginary Wor(l)ds: A Creative Methodology to Explore Future Imaginaries of Climate Change-Induced (Im)mobilities
In recent decades, migration and climate change have emerged as two of the most urgent moral and political challenges confronting the twenty-first century. Predominantly portrayed in mainstream media and political discourse within the Global North as exceptional and extraordinary phenomena, the intersection of migration and climate change is increasingly framed through securitization narratives. This article critically examines the social imagina…
Othering' in the Panicocene: Intergovernmental and Non-Governmental Awareness Campaigns on Climate Change Induced-Migration
In recent decades, the nexus between human mobility and climate change has gained increasing prominence in public and policy debates. Mainstream media narratives and political discourses have often framed climate change induced-migration as a security crisis caused by inevitable natural events, with the risk of fuelling unfounded anxiety and discrimination towards environmental migrants and feeding the ‘Panicocene’, the age of panic. In this stud…
Encountering mobility (in)justice through the lived experiences of fishing communities in Dakar and Saint Louis, Senegal
Placing attention on counter narratives from fishing communities in Dakar and Saint Louis in Senegal, we present how the climate crisis and its complex nexus with (im)mobility is instrumentalized to mask the underlying structural causes. We evidence the intertwined impacts of the climate crisis as rooted in global unequal structures, state-level fishing agreements, and global and local waste (mis)management on lives and livelihoods through the le…
Dentro, fuori e contro le involuzioni delle politiche sull'immigrazione: Riflessioni dalle esperienze di microaccoglienza diffusa di richiedenti asilo in Valsugana e Valle di Susa
Quest'articolo verte sulle esperienze di accoglienza diffusa di richiedenti asilo rea-lizzate nei comuni montani della Valsugana in Trentino e in alta Valle di Susa in Piemonte. Si tratta di progetti nati in seno all'accoglienza straordinaria, ma che hanno assunto le forme dell'accoglienza diffusa e integrata, come altri progetti realizzati in diversi altri territori del paese. Cosa sono state queste esperienze? Usiamo il passato perché nel momen…
Discours des moniteurs sociaux sur leurs pratiques de terrain auprès des demandeurs d’asile en Italie
L’arrivée des migrants a représenté un gros défi pour la société italienne, qui n’a pourtant pas créé un système d’accueil homogène sur le territoire national. À partir d’entretiens réalisés dans l’un des meilleurs systèmes d’accueil local (dans le Trentin, au nord de l’Italie), nous proposons d’analyser deux thématiques centrales des discours de cette communauté de pratiques, qui font émerger le rôle plus ou moins reconnu de l’« entrepreneur mor…
Discourses of social workers on their practices in the field for asylum seekers in Italy
The arrival of migrants has been a major challenge for Italian society; however, a uniform reception system has yet to be created in the country. Based on interviews conducted in one of the best local reception systems (located in Trentino, in Northern Italy), we analyze two central themes raised in the discourses of this community of practice that bring out the more or less recognized role of “moral entrepreneur” at street level
I margini d'azione delle operatrici e degli operatori dell'accoglienza: Una riflessione etnografica
La seguente ricerca vuole approfondito la figura professionale dell’operatore di accoglienza, calato nel contesto quotidiano. Attraverso una ricerca etnografica e interviste semi-strutturate nel sistema di accoglienza nella Provincia Autonoma di Trento, la ricerca esamina come l’operatore di accoglienza si sia di fatto professionalizzato all’interno del sistema, luogo dove ha sviluppato le proprie competenze e costruito le proprie “grammatiche d’…
"On board the quarantine-ship as "floating hotspot: Creeping externalization practices in the Mediterranean Sea
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, migration was framed in Italy as 'the emergency within the emergency', leading the Italian Government to declare that its ports were not ''safe places' for people rescued from boats flying a foreign flag to disembark.' As a result, under this guise of health and safety, in Italy migrants are now held in cruise ships repurposed as quarantine-ships for their sanitary isolation. We take this space as our analytic len…
Challenging Eurocentric perceptions of mobility justice through climate diaries
“What is climate change for you?” This was the question we posed to our research participants in the city of Saint Louis, Senegal to answer visually. Given alarmist racialized portrayals of so-called ‘climate migrants’ as an invasive threat from the Global South to Global North we examined how visual methods can challenge western production of knowledge around the climate crisis. Via our methodology of ‘climate diaries’, we asked participants to …
Gli operatori di accoglienza: Competenze di una professione in divenire. Un'indagine etnografica di una ricercatrice-operatrice
Il presente articolo descrive una ricerca etnografica delle professionalità nate all'interno del sistema di accoglienza nella Provincia Autonoma di Trento. L'interrogativo di fondo nasce sul campo grazie all'esperienza della ricercatrice come operatrice di accoglienza con l'Associazione Centro Astalli presso la Provincia Autonoma di Trento, che costituisce il caso empirico approfondito. L'osservazione partecipante, insieme a 55 interviste in prof…
Reshaping ‘time of limbo’ and ‘remoteness’: Everyday practices of reception of asylum seekers in Alpine municipalities in Italy
This article focuses on the experiences of widespread reception of asylum seekers and refugees carried out in some Italian Alpine localities, specifically in Valsugana in Trentino and Val di Susa in Piemonte, in the west and in the east of northern Italy. We focus on the description of these two case studies and their relation with the frame of national policies on migration in Italy. What were the main characteristics of these two case studies? …
The Emergence of New Street-Level Bureaucracies in Italy's Asylum Reception System
How does the Italian system for asylum seekers and refugees work? How do the intrinsic characteristics of the system affect the (new) professional figures involved? Are there any hidden grammars of action arising from their everyday practices? This research subsumes and tries to move beyond the questions raised above. The purpose of the research is to reflect on the role social workers have as street-level bureaucrats, considering their discretio…
Eculizumab improves fatigue in refractory generalized myasthenia gravis
Compared with placebo, eculizumab was associated with improvements in perceived fatigue that strongly correlated with improvements in MG-specific outcome measures. Trial ID Registration: NCT01997229, NCT02301624
