Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of digital tools, particularly smartphones and WhatsApp, in capturing the lived experiences of refugees. It explores how these technologies facilitate meaning-making, memory preservation, and emotional connection in contexts of displacement and social exclusion. The research also seeks to develop participatory, ethically sound methodologies that empower refugees as active collaborators in the resear…
They must know their rights ’– reflecting on privacy, informed consent and the digital agency of asylum seekers and refugees in border contexts
The article questions digital agency as a subjective experience of refugees when crossing Europe's external and internal borders. More concretely, the article asks how refugees experience digital agency, and how this concrete experience is constituted in specific border practices. In doing so, it examines the contradictions that arise between European laws and human rights in the context of border practices. The analysis of the data of this paper…
The Digitalization of Outreach Social Work: Hybrid Practices in Italian Anti-Trafficking Efforts
Reflecting the Smartphone’s (Imagined) Affordances in Refugee’s Journeys
The paper fosters the extent to which imagined affordances of smartphones help refugees to create meaning and thus maintaining a linearity/ continuity between their present, their past and their expected future. In doing so, the article is based on a social constructionist approach that expand the social construction of reality to include the digital level by reinforcing the necessity to rethink the implications of the digital for its basic conce…
Being Out-of-quota: An Analysis of Refugee's Border Experiences in Northern Italy
Drawing on fieldwork among refugees and asylum seekers in Northern Italy, this article examines how local policies of exclusion and the resulting accentuation on a system of stratification in the Italian northern border zone of South Tyrol target the exclusion of particular groups of refugees. In doing so, it indicates concrete policies of exclusion and exclusionary practices against refugees and potential asylum seekers in the Italian northern b…
Being (co-)present: Reflecting the personal and public spheres of asylum seeking in relation to connectivity
This article links the personal use/meaning of information and communications technology for refugees and asylum seekers with their visibility/invisibility in public spaces. More precisely, it gives insights into how the personal and public spheres of asylum seeking interrelate when discussing connectivity. In doing so, I discuss the following research questions: How is connectivity embedded in refugees and asylum seekers' everyday practices? And…
Empowering refugees and asylum seekers in the Italian agriculture sector by linking social cooperative entrepreneurship and social work practices
The present study investigated the potential of social cooperative activities and social work practices in the Italian agriculture sector in promoting sustainable integration forms for refugees and asylum seekers. The study adopted a qualitative approach using case study as the main research method. As the results show, the complexity and diversity of needs of refugees and asylum seekers make collaboration between formal and informal actors incre…
The Other Entrepreneurs - Migrant Economies as Spaces for Social Innovation
This article analyses the relationship between migrant entrepreneurship, marginalisation and social innovation. It does so, by looking how their ‘otherness’ is used on the one hand to reproduce their marginalised situation in society and on the other to develop new living and working arrangements promoting social innovation in society. The paper is based on a qualitative study, which was carried out from March 2014- 2016. In this period, twenty s…
Professionalisation for what? Reflections on social work practices with asylum seekers at the interface between spatial proximity, emotional distress and professional distance
The article questions in what ways personal capacities (or a lack of them) as well as structural factors ameliorate or aggravate the idea of providing responsive social work and thus promote responsive professional social work practices within different types of reception facilities for refugees and asylum seekers in northern Italy. This study is based on a qualitative research approach which seeks to understand the relation between the refugee c…
If I have to clean, I clean my own shop: Migrant entrepreneurship as a form of emplacement in times of crisis: The example of Italy
This article analyses the relation between European economic crisis and immigration. It does so by analysing the establishment of migrants’ entrepreneurship activities in Italy, and by looking at how these activities unravel subjects’ agency in confronting constraining socioeconomic conditions and restrictive immigration laws. In this perspective, entrepreneurship should be understood as a possibility for transforming a person’s own incorporated …
Getting out of the seclusion trap? Work as meaningful occupation for the subjective well-being of asylum seekers in South Tyrol, Italy
This study explicitly links social aspects of the subjective well-being of asylum seekers and the lack of valued and meaningful occupation during the asylum application process. In bringing subjective personal experiences together with the structural level, the paper addresses the opportunities asylum seekers must have in order to develop their occupational potential. Snowball sampling of 25 asylum seekers in South Tyrol, Italy was completed betw…
Migrant economies as new arenas to rethink policies and territorial development
The paper is based on an on-going empirical PhD project (Free University of Bolzano, Italy) and deals with the action framework of migrant economies in the South Tyrol of Italy. Self-organization among migrants is perceived as a bottom-up strategy, which can secure not only the material basis for existence, but can also promote active participation in the community and the capacity to become actors of their own development. As the preliminary fin…
