| Title | A Journey Through Fear: Resistance, Assimilation, and Negotiation in Woman Migrants' Experiences of Otherness in Spain |
| Summary | Through “A Journey Through Fear: Resistance, Assimilation, and Negotiation in Woman Migrants' Experiences of Otherness in spain” I aim to explore the relationship between migration and fear. In that sense, I will critically analyze the anti-migration system in spain as well as the mechanism of fear deployed spectacularly against the migrant population, which has been intensified after the turn of the century, and how this system of fear affects the live of many migrants. As a way of introduction, spain will be explored as a country of destination, the position it has within the euro zone and how it is influenced by the of the market and its own colonial tradition. In that sense, the anti-migrant mechanism stablished in the last decades has been improving itself efficiently, some may argue, to create an environment of racist exclusion/inclusion, through deathly fear, to respond the necessities of the market. It is because of that, that the migrant will be subject to illegality, deportability, economic precariousness, and will be linked with a discourse of criminalization and terrorism. Constituent elements to oil the ongoing mechanism of dehumanization, a necropolitics of fear is set in motion, perpetrated by the state and the mass media. All of this sets the grounds to comprehend how the migrant population, in this case, the women involved in this project, me included—, feel and experience different kinds of fears, as well as the strategies we create in order to negotiate with it, reject or assimilate it, if we let or not to affect our identity. |
