- PublicationRestriction temporaireWhat Is the Nexus between Migration and Mobility? A Framework to Understand the Interplay between Different Ideal Types of Human Movement(2024)
; ; ; ; ; Categorising certain forms of human movement as ‘migration’ and others as ‘mobility’ has far-reaching consequences. We introduce the migration–mobility nexus as a framework for other researchers to interrogate the relationship between these two categories of human movement and explain how they shape different social representations. Our framework articulates four ideal-typical interplays between categories of migration and categories of mobility: continuum (fluid mobilities transform into more stable forms of migration and vice versa), enablement (migration requires mobility, and mobility can trigger migration), hierarchy (migration and mobility are political categories that legitimise hierarchies of movement) and opposition (migration and mobility are pitted against each other). These interplays reveal the normative underpinnings of different categories, which we argue are too often implicit and unacknowledged. - PublicationAccès libreEuropean instruments for the deportation of foreigners and their uses by France and Switzerland: the application of the Dublin III Regulation and Eurodac(2020-8-28)
; The European Union put in place instruments for the deportation of foreigners that gained much importance. This article describes the multiplicity and diversity of these instruments. To analyse them more clearly, it distinguishes three types: legal, organisational and technological. The article equally points to the increasing relevance of technological tools, especially the use of biometrics. It also looks at how a founding member of the EU, France, and an associated country, Switzerland, utilise these European instruments to deport foreigners by focusing on the Dublin III Regulation as well as the Eurodac database, jointly referred to as the Dublin System. Grounding on a comparative study combining documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews and participant observation, this article describes the similarities and differences in the use of the Dublin System in these two countries. Moreover, it also reveals these countries’ specificities with regard to the roles played by local and national administrative bodies, and associative actors. The paper ends by concluding that to fully understand the deportation process in the European context as well as in certain countries, a multifaceted approach is required to make sense of the various interactions taking place between local, national and supranational frameworks, actors and practices. - PublicationAccès libreIntersections between Ageing and Migration: Current Trends and Challenges(2020-7-6)

- PublicationAccès libreMigrants’ new transnational habitus: rethinking migration through a cosmopolitan lens in the digital age(2012)This article puts forward a cosmopolitan reading of international migration, focusing on the role played by ICTs in generating new ways of living together and acting transnationally in the digital era. After underlining some of the complex dimensions of the transnational debate and the limits of methodological nationalism, I will argue that revisiting the national–transnational nexus by adopting an ‘inclusive cosmopolitan’ stance would lead to a better understanding of the dialogically ubiquitous condition of the modern migrant. An analysis of Internet use by Romanian professionals in Toronto and their transnational families will shed light on the mechanisms through which ICTs produce connected lifestyles, enhance the capacity to harness otherness, and facilitate socialisation beyond borders, thus generating new transnational habitus.
- PublicationAccès libre« Cybercitoyenneté » et mobilisation en ligne des migrants : nouvelles formes de participation transnationale et d’action collective à l’ère du numérique(2010)Facilitant la coprésence d’acteurs mobiles dans des locations multiples, Internet constitue un espace d'action collective pour les migrants. Cet article explore son potentiel en tant que nouvelle sphère publique transnationale en contexte migratoire. Sur la base de deux études de cas de mobilisation online des migrants roumains, il permet de comprendre la capacité d’Internet à amplifier la visibilité des initiatives des migrants, à faciliter le lobby et encourager différentes actions civiques et politiques transnationales. D’une part, Internet offre un espace d’expression démocratique pour les minorités de migrants, permettant l’émergence d’une « voix » collective au service de leurs intérêts à la fois dans la société d’accueil et celle d’origine. D’autre part, les plateformes de communication online créent les conditions nécessaires à l’action collective des migrants et des non-migrants au-delà des frontières étatiques. Ainsi, Internet facilite l’émergence d’un nouveau modèle participatif et génère un nouvel équilibre des relations de pouvoir au sein d’une sphère publique transnationale., Facilitating the co-presence of mobile actors in multiple locations, Internet provides space of collective action for dispersed population. This paper explores the potential of Internet as a new transnational public sphere in migratory context. Based on two case studies of online mobilization of Romanian migrants, it allows understanding the capacity of Internet to amplify the visibility of migrants’ initiatives, to facilitate the lobbying and enable transnational civic and political actions. On the one hand, Internet offers space of democratic expression for migrant minorities and allows the emergence of a collective ‘voice’ able to defend the interests of migrant populations both in the host and origin societies. On the other hand, the online communication platforms create basic conditions for collective agency gathering migrant and non-migrant populations over the borders. Thus, Internet generates a new participatory pattern and enables a new equilibrium of power relations within a transnational public sphere.
