#Ways of Making a Human Otherwise : after-Ethnography with Migrant Labourers in Italian Agro-Industrial Enclaves
Irene Peano
#Documento (.pdf)    
#Abstract
The paper addresses the ways in which the management of migration and of migrant labour, with particular reference to italian agro-industrial enclaves, has relied upon forms of de-humanisation, whose targets (mainly West African migrants) identify as forms of animalisation. Manhunts and lynchings are the crudest forms of such violent exclusions, which however also manifest in more subtle and generalised patterns, characteristic of the humanitarian regime of migration management itself. Against what, drawing on Derrida and Vaughan Williams, I term «zoopolitical» violence, I consider the emergence — in the slums of agro-industrial enclaves where West African workers live — of relations between humans and animals that flag the possibility of a human or animal being treated in an equivalent way. Such reflections are the result of a protracted engagement in these settings, founded on a form of participant observation which aims not at neutral description and analysis, in the ethnographic mould, but at actively supporting and elaborating alternative futures. To do so, the notions of anthropos and ethnos which have informed anthropological scholarship since its inception also need to be radically rethought, precisely through engagement with other ways of making and being human.
