Project description DEENESFRITPL Life within the asylum seekers’ reception system in Italy and Spain EU-funded BeCAMP investigates how the migrants’ reception system in two European countries of first arrival and the daily coping strategies of asylum seekers shift according to the changes in politics, policies and other contingencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Its main theoretical goal is to explore beyond the camp by looking into its metamorphoses across a wider, porous border regime. BeCAMP is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at reception centres with both asylum seekers and social workers, with the purpose of offering a well-informed account of the life within the Italian and Spanish migrant reception systems. Its ultimate aim is to critically analyse the objectification of migrants, counterbalance the hate narrative and help build more human rights-oriented policies. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Despite the fact that migration figures do not support calls to emergency, the European political discourse is still highly dominated by the idea of a “refugee crisis”, a concept on which several right-wing parties have built their political capital. BeCAMP’s main goal is to analize migration management in two countries of first arrival, Italy and Spain, in order to investigate how the migrants’ reception system, on the one hand, and the daily coping strategies of these subjects living inside or at the edges of such system, on the other, shift accordingly to the variations of politics and policies. By bridging the three key topics of border regimes, enduring liminality and everyday geopolitics, the proposed project aims at offering a well-informed, ethnographically rooted account of the life within and at the fringes of the Italian and Spanish migrants’ reception system, in order to counterbalance the dominant hate narrative and help build more human rights oriented policies.
