Ideologias em marcha: fotografias a documentar a viagem de refugiados/as

Neste ensaio pretende-se analisar o uso da linguagem visual na fotografia, bem como a sua interação com as legendas e os títulos de notícias sobre a crise de refugiados/as, tal como foi retratada pelos meios de comunicação social em Portugal e na Rússia. Entre os vários tipos de fotografia, a documental – utilizada nas ciências sociais e humanas – é muitas vezes considerada como um mero registo da realidade. No entanto, em conjunto com o texto, a imagem fotográfica colabora na construção de determinadas visões sobre as populações refugiadas e sobre as medidas políticas mais adequadas em relação a estas populações. O seu potencial interpretativo modifica-se com o tempo inserindo-se no contexto cultural das sociedades, sustentado pelas visões predominantes e metáforas familiares naquela sociedade. Ao analisar uma série de notícias publicadas em 2015-2016 na Rússia e em Portugal sobre a viagem de refugiados/as através da Europa, faz-se uma tentativa de identificar as principais tendências simbólicas, bem como as ausências significativas nessa narrativa visual

CONFLICT COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE PROFESSIONALS IN STAFF MANAGEMENT

The paper provides the examples of various training assignments as well as the conflict competence development course description

Technologies, infrastructures and migrations: material citizenship politics

This article aims to explore the multiple uses and consequences of different technologies and infrastructures in the context of migrations and how such uses and consequences inhabit and transform migrants’ rights and subjectivities. It reviews relevant literature at the intersection of citizenship, critical migration studies and science and technology studies (STS), focusing in particular on the current debates underway within critical citizenship studies that examine how technologies and infrastructures shape the ability to acts of citizenship. By mobilizing insights from STS, we focus on how these political subjectivities are shaped by certain sociomaterial and epistemic practices. By introducing the notion of material citizenship politics, the article outlines a way to differentiate three different constitutive forms between technologies, infrastructures and citizenship in migrations. Technologies and infrastructures can (1) constrain acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes; (2) constitute contestation and participation over citizenship; or (3) enable and shape alternative acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes. As it provides a theoretical background to the special issue, the article also serves as the introduction to the issue.This work has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Consolidation grant, agreement No. [648608]), within the project `EXCHANGE -Forensic geneticists and the transnational exchange of DNA data in the EU: Engaging science with social control, citizenship and democracy', led by Helena Machado and hosted at the Institute for Social Sciences of at the University of Minho, Portugal.

Linguistic diversity in Portuguese schools: ideological and practical implications

Livro de atas da III Conferência Internacional - Investigação, Práticas e Contextos em Educação, Leiria, 09-10 de maioNew migration flows from countries with no historical links with Portugal have transformed the country’s sociolinguistic landscape, creating an impact on the social aspects and ethnoglinguistic identities. The Portuguese state faced a challenge of promoting a quality education for immigrant children within the course on integration. After the initial lack of response to the linguistic diversity in Portugal’s schools, the Portuguese government formulated political guidelines for language-in-education diversity management. Most recent studies about multilingual contexts in education have gradually shifted the focus to teaching as a social practice while considering teachers, educators, caregivers, parents and students as actors of this practice. This change in perspective reinforces the link between practices and discourses that shape them. Drawing on the interview and observational data from a longitudinal linguistic ethnography around the site of an informal school organized by immigrant parents (2004-2012), this paper aims to discuss the ways in which language teaching practices and their interpretation by institutional agents, parents and children reflect the changes in offcial discourses in mainstream educational setings (e.g., PLNM discourses). The main emphasis is placed on identifying the discursive spaces available for other languages in Portuguese mainstream education and on the impact the commonly accepted language ideologies may have on identities of multilingual speakers

Opening up ideological spaces for multilingual literacies at the margins of the Portuguese education system? Ethnographic insights from a Russian complementary school

Eastern European migration to Portugal is a relatively recent yet significant phenomenon due to its impact on national legislation and discourses about language, citizenship and identity. Along with other migration movements to Portugal, it has also brought about changes in state policies. The monolingual order within the Portuguese education system has been reinforced through the adoption of the notion of ‘Portuguese as a non-native language’ and the creation of different categories of speakers of ‘other’ languages. While these discourses predominate within the national educational system, other discursive spaces (such as complementary schools and playgroups) are being constructed, on the margins of Portuguese society, where other languages and literacies are being learned and used, alongside Portuguese. This paper presents some insights from longitudinal ethnographic research (2004–2013) that was carried out in a complementary school for Russian-speaking children in Portugal run by their parents and grandparents. It looks into the complex ways in which literacy ideologies and practices were reproduced, contested and negotiated in this particular discursive space. It also shows how students drew on the language, literacy and semiotic resources within their communicative repertoires in different ways as they responded agentively to tasks set by the teacher. The paper concludes with reflections on the potential of the complementary school as a “safe space” for fostering flexible multilingual pedagogies

HR MANAGER COMPETENCE FORMATION METHODS REGARDING PERSONNEL RISK MANAGEMENT
