Syllabus del corso
Obiettivi formativi
Il corso parte dall'assunto che la sociologia sia da intendere come l'insieme dello studio e dei metodi per descrivere l'azione sociale. Per questo gli obbiettivi formativi sono: 1) offrire un quadro delle più importanti teorie e approcci alla migrazione; 2) riflettere sul fenomeno della migrazione e riuscire ad applicare metodi di ricerca adeguati; 3) offrire agli studenti il sapere critico necessario per comprendere le migrazioni contemporanee, per approcciare le problematiche migratorie e per riflettere su possibili soluzioni ed essere consci delle istanze concrete e pratiche che incontrano le migrazioni nelle dinamiche di vita quotidiana.
Contenuti sintetici
Teorie sulle migrazioni
- Controllo dei confini e politiche di confine
- Teorie sulla cittadinanza
- Analisi dei dati sulle migrazioni
- Politiche della migrazione
- Migrazione, integrazione e nuove sfide
Programma esteso
Il corso si svilupperà in 4 parti: la prima parte è basata sull'analisi delle teorie classiche e contemporanee sulla migrazione, una riflessione sul concetto di confine e una breve storia della cittadinanza. La seconda parte si svilupperà attorno alla descrizione del fenomeno della migrazione, approfondirà le sue trasformazioni e i modelli di policy e di governo delle mobilità umane. La terza parte rifletterà sulle pratiche di accoglienza, di gestione dei centri e del ruolo delle ONG nel primo soccorso. Infine, l'ultima parte si concentrerà sui modelli di integrazione, sulle sfide della cittadinanza e sui futuri sviluppi possibili.
