    Les violences conjugales à la marge : le cas des femmes migrantes en Suisse
    (2019-7-18)
    Suivant des travaux sur la (re)production des frontières par le bas, dans les pratiques des agents et des agentes de terrain et de leurs usages du droit, cet article analyse les enjeux liés aux autorisations de séjour des femmes migrantes confrontées aux violences conjugales. À travers le cas suisse, et par l’analyse des documents légaux et administratifs qui règlent la situation des migrantes, l’auteure montre comment ces femmes sont mises devant un choix impossible entre se séparer du conjoint ou rester en Suisse. L’article démontrera comment la mise en œuvre du droit devient un instrument de contrôle de la migration et renforce les frontières de l’Etat, en distinguant celles qui sont jugées aptes à recevoir une protection et celle qui, privées de ce droit, doivent partir.

    Grounds for dialogue: Intersectionality and superdiversity
    (2018-3-1)
    This paper investigates the possibility of a fruitful dialogue between intersectionality and superdiversity. It argues that, despite the shortcomings of superdiversity, the complex migration-related configurations it focuses on can enable intersectionality to overcome some of its own challenges by becoming more precise and accurate. To empirically expose the mechanisms through which race-, gender-, and class-based inequalities are reproduced, it is necessary to anchor those mechanisms in a specific time and space ‐ a historical, social, economic, and legal context. Through a case study of institutional responses to domestic violence, the paper demonstrates that superdiversity can help clarify the context in which these responses occur. Finally, by distinguishing between the object of study (the intersectional construction of disadvantage and prejudice) and the object of observation (public institutions where superdiverse situations are created by migration-related configurations), this paper examines a challenging situation for intersectional analysis in the context of Switzerland, a context that opens up to surprising articulations of discrimination and inequality for ‘migrants’ subjects to domestic violence.
