ABSTRACT

Since the start of the Mediterranean refugee crisis in 2015, large numbers of migrants have been forced into the Italian accoglienza (reception) system, a muddled and ambiguous context describable as a camp. Based on our consultancy practice, we analyze the wide labeling of migrants – no matter their age, migratory journey, or family status – as ragazzi (boys/girls or kids), and what it reveals about the current Italian social imaginary: the effects of neoliberal emotional policies, the continuation of a colonialist mentality, the need for psychological defenses among staff, and the disempowerment of migrants in a camp-like institution.

摘要

自 2015 年地中海难民危机爆发以来，大量移民被迫进入意大利的accoglienza（接收）系统，这是一个可以形容为营地的混乱和模糊的环境。根据我们的咨询实践，我们分析了移民的广泛标签——无论他们的年龄、移民历程或家庭状况——为ragazzi（男孩/女孩或孩子），以及它揭示了当前意大利社会想象的什么：新自由主义情绪政策、殖民主义心态的延续、工作人员心理防御的需要以及在类似难民营的机构中剥夺移民的权力。
