Migranti senza fissa dimora nella Sicilia occidentale: dalla «doppia mancanza ai processi di resilienza e socialità interstiziale»

Abstract

The proposal aims to highlight the self-representations of homeless – economic migrant who transform the personal project of a different life in Italy in an exercise of survival. This modifies the perception of the self through the subversion of specific categories of «presentified time» and space de- limited by their skills of perceiving their immediate surrounding space as a branch of their own bodies. The reflection focuses on the effects of experience of 47 migrants interviewed in two different mo- ments and after almost two years after the first interview. The focus of research is an analysis of concept of abjection as self-perception of an irreversible degradation condition that blocks any possibility of recovery for homeless.
