Organized by the USMB Langages, Littératures, Sociétés Etudes Transfrontalières et Internationales (LLSETI) laboratory and the Migrant'Scène festival, a study day on the theme of the migration "crisis" will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at the USMB presidency in Chambéry. Open to all without registration, the day will include lectures, debates and workshops.
This study day will focus on an in-depth analysis of the multiple meanings of the notion of "migratory crisis". Is it a crisis in terms of numbers, security, sovereignty, identity and values, or is it a humanitarian crisis or a crisis of solidarity? These multiple meanings suggest that the notion of crisis is not totally devoid of meaning, even if it is complex and vague. This leads us to ask, following Edgar Morin, whether the moment of crisis, characterized by contradiction and rupture, will have a regressive or progressive outcome, and according to what criteria. The instrumentalization of the migration crisis by far-right parties - and even by "centrist" politicians - suggests a regressive outcome characterized by authoritarianism.
The morning session will take place in the Decottignies amphitheatre, and the afternoon in room 3 of theuniversité Savoie Mont Blanc presidency (27 rue Marcoz, Chambéry).
