“Can migrants act?”. Presence, organization, visiblity in a precarious scape

Abstract

Starting from Calais jungle's events, this paper investigates the margins and the conditions of a migrant agency into the European horizon. Referring to the famous Spivak's paper “Can Subaltern Speak”, this contribution means to consider the neutralization process (in a juridical and existantial pov), investing the migrant in different phases and steps in order to yield to the “host” society, and the impact that all of this has on the migrant's subjectivity. In its final part, the paper describes some examples used by an agency which tries to avoid this capture and neutralization dispositive.
