Among migrants in Spain, the female figure appears late in contemporary Spanish dramatic production. The article proposes to study how the figure of the migrant woman suffers a double marginalisation: the one linked to her condition as a foreigner and the one linked to her condition as a woman. In Zahra la favorita de Al-Ándalus, Antonia Bueno highlights two female figures who share the same name, Zahra, but belong to different times and spaces. One is an Andalusian woman in the 10th century, during the reign of Abderraman III, the other a Maghrebi woman in the 21st century. Like a palimpsest, the lives of the two women intertwine until they meet again across time and space in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar. Both Zahras are subjected to male authority and struggle to survive. The article aims to highlight the progressive construction of the protagonists’ identities as they move from invisibility to rebellion.

Based on original ethnographic material, this article focuses on the citizenship discourse of migrant women engaged in the public sphere in the city of Naples (Italy). The analysis of narrative interviews highlights the meanings they attribute to their everyday experiences of citizenship, living and acting as citizens. The article contributes to enriching studies on lived citizenship and the meanings of citizenship from an intersectional perspective by showing how the meanings migrant women attribute to citizenship can vary with their placements. Narrative interviews highlight the fluid meanings of citizenship, showing how not only different positionings, but also intersubjective processes that are activated at the local level are central to the ways in which migrant women conceive of citizenship and identify themselves as citizens. By contributing to the conceptualisation of citizenship as a synthesis of normative and substantive dimensions, which in migrant women’s narratives appear closely intertwined, the article challenges both the theory and politics of citizenship in a more inclusive sense.

Today, the identification of migrants with asylum seekers and the overestimation of inflows – also referred to as the “refugee crisis” – has meant that Italy, as a politically strategic borderland of Europe, coincides with a battleground between sovereign drives and solidarity tensions. If refugees are the most visible object of political contention, governance operated by Ngo’s and, more generally, by civil society, sees women in the front row in a battle aimed at re-humanizing politics. The clash, which lasted for weeks between Captain Rackete of Sea Watch 3 and Minister Salvini, did not only represent a confrontation between reception policies and rejection policies, between the dehumanization of the human and care as a distinguishing element of humanity, but a clash between political power and policy. In the following months, the honorary citizenship conferred on the captain in France reinvigorated the image of a female who pushes against “the established power”, referring to an ancestral symbolic of motherhood that becomes indiscriminate acceptance. The proposed article intends to explore the contribution of the female stakeholder and the elements that connote their gaze towards otherness and the support tools used, in order to focus on its distinguishing features of a female relationship in order to support migrant women victims of proximity violence.

The aim of this text is to analyse the differentiation processes and mechanisms of foreign population, specifically migrant women of non - European Union foreign nationality, which are produced by the legislation on domestic employment. From the life stories of fifteen women it will be addressed how the practices and social representations generated in the legislation itself build ethnically and occupationally degraded subjects. These women are represented as a feminized, homogenous and as an inferiorized collective, whilst in the area of domestic work converge different axis of oppression that are not amended by legislation. This analysis will show that although many of these differentiation processes are interconnected with elements of a structural nature, the naturalization of inequality is elaborated from concrete practices that are not only exhausted in the normative.

Resumen Este artículo se centra en los significados del trabajo que se contextualizan en el proceso de migración autónoma de las mujeres brasileñas en Barcelona (España), y en la sobrecualificación como significante de su situación laboral. La particularidad de ambas circunstancias implica tener en cuenta tanto los aspectos estructurales como subjetivos. Así, el análisis se fundamenta en la identificación social y en la identidad en relación al trabajo. Ello contribuye a ampliar la comprensión sobre el concepto de trabajo más allá de la racionalidad económica, y a evidenciar la noción de sobrecualificación como un mecanismo de mantenimiento de la jerarquía del trabajo.
