Plural violence(s) and migrants’ transnational engagement with democratic politics: the case of Colombians in Europe
(Springer, 2022) Bermúdez, Anastasia; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Antropología Social; Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) (UK); Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España; Junta de Andalucía; European Commission (EC). Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER); Universidad de Sevilla. SEJ-149: Grupo para el estudio de las identidades socioculturales en Andalucía (GEISA)
This article explores how multiple, interrelated violence(s) shape the ways in which migrants relate to democratic politics transnationally. It takes as a departing point the literature on violent democracies and violent pluralism in the Latin American context, and more specifcally the situation in Colombia, where democratic institutions coexist with plural violence(s). Following on from studies of migrant transnational politics, the analysis focuses on the Colombian diaspora and how migrants coming from violent democracies engage politically with the home country. Based on extensive research with Colombian migrants in Europe since the mid-90s, the article shows how despite diferent motivations for migrating, origin-country violence plays a signifcant role in the lives of many Colombians abroad. It then explores how violence infuences migrants’ transnational politics. Migrating from a context of pervasive violence(s) can afect migrants’ sense of transnational belonging as well as increase mistrust and indiference towards formal democratic processes. However, the situation in the home country, together with being exposed to diferent conditions in the host society, can also motivate migrants to participate transnationally in initiatives to end the violence, thus increasing cooperation and trust.
Remigration of “new” Spaniards since the economic crisis: the interplay between citizenship and precarity among Colombian-Spanish families moving to Northern Europe
(Routledge, 2020) Bermúdez, Anastasia; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Antropología Social; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España; Universidad de Sevilla. SEJ149: Grupo para el Estudio de las Identidades Socioculturales en Andalucia (Geisa)
Following the recent economic crisis, there is renewed interest in intra-European mobilities, including new South-to-North flows. The focus has been on quantifying such flows and identifying the economic and labour-market causes, especially in the case of young Spaniards moving North. By contrast, less attention has been afforded to the remigration of naturalized third-country migrants exercising their rights to free mobility. Based on quantitative-qualitative fieldwork with Colombian migrants in Europe carried out over the last fifteen years (including some 150 interviews and two surveys), this article analyses how naturalization has allowed Colombian-Spanish families to remigrate to other EU countries (the UK and Belgium) as a main strategy to survive the impacts of the crisis. However, rather than experiencing upward social mobility within a “global hierarchy of citizenships” these “new” Spaniards face renewed precarious lives in a context of “(re)peripherilised” South–North flows, where so-called EU free mobility becomes instead precarious intra-EU migrations.
Todos los anymales son (des)iguales pero algunos anymales son más (des)iguales que otros. Una revisión del excepcionalísimo humano, el especismo y las relaciones óntico relacionales entre especies
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC, 2021) Gómez Melara, José; Acosta Naranjo, Rufino; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Antropología Social; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España
The relationship between humans and other anymals (Kemmerer, 2006) is, by definition, asymmetrical. Throughout history, many arguments have been made to justify a supposed human exceptionalism, from divine rights to higher intelligence, that legitimises the current system of exploitation, called domination (Manfredo et al., 2019). Nevertheless, the interface between species and how we conceive this is a difficult issue. There are many ways to see human-anymal relationships, from adoration (cows in India) to exploitation (biomedical research). Also, in Western countries there are alternative ways to see these relationships (for example, with pets). Belonging to one or another species is an essential factor determining the position that each animal has in these asymmetrical hierarchies. However, other relevant elements should be considered, such as the links between individuals, just as our affection for others generally depends on the type of relationship we have with them (e.g., family or friends).
Trans-Visibilities and Sexual Politics: Temporary Passages in Spanish Popular Cultures
(2023) Sabuco I Cantó, Assumpta; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Antropología Social; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España
This article aims to review the models that historically have shaped technologies of gender through popular representations in Spanish culture. First, an anthropological view will be cast on the naturalised Catholic-Francoist models that exalted heterosexual dichotomies and reproductive marriage. This includes an analysis of how, although the criminalization of transsexuals aggravated their situation, resistance movements generated a wide range of cultural references and possibilities for inclusion. Second, the article will review the models associated with Spain’s transition to democracy and their evolution moving on to the beginning of the 21st century. Finally, it will draw an outline of the trans models produced during the past two decades and their popular expressions.
