Présentation de l’ANR LIMINAL :Le programme LIMINAL porté par l’INALCO et financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche traite des interactions et médiations langagières et culturelles entre acteurs en situation de crise migratoire et humanitaire, telle que celle-ci se développe en France depuis 2015 (création de camps et campements d’ampleur, développement de centres d’accueil). Il mobilise des chercheurs de différentes disciplines en SHS (linguistique et sociolinguistique, sémiotique, anthropologie, sociologie, études sur la migration, psychologie) pour mener conjointement en cinq langues (urdu, dari, farsi, amharique, arabe) des études de terrain sur les pratiques de médiation linguistique et interculturelle dans des camps et des lieux d’accueil et d’hébergement diversifiés, formels et informels, auprès d’une pluralité d’acteurs sociaux (institutionnels, associatifs, populations migrantes). Son objectif scientifique est d’étudier les enjeux théoriques et pratiques des stratégies d’interaction et de médiation, les malentendus ou insuffisances (usages inappropriés, mécompréhensions interculturelles, situations bloquées, émotions dysphoriques) et de proposer, à terme, des outils à destination de la recherche, des acteurs sociaux et des services publics (glossaires lexico-terminologiques multilingues, documentations textuelles et audiovisuelles, portail web, outils pédagogiques). Ce programme de recherche offrira l’opportunité de valoriser compétences linguistiques, dispositifs de solidarité, co-actions ; de circonscrire les difficultés ; d’apporter le concours d’une recherche plurilingue et pluridisciplinaire à des éléments de formation et de documentation destinés à un large public (recherche, associatif, ONG, travailleurs sociaux, bénévoles et exilés).

The conference was organized by Gabriella Lazaridis (University of Leicester) and the Hellenic Institute of Migration (IMEPO), which also funded the conference. The editor would like to thank Vassiliki Papakosta from IMEPO, and Jane Russell, Sally Marsden, Carol Adjai and Thomas Gill from the University of Leicester, whose efforts were crucial to the planning and smooth running of the conference. At the Leicester end, where the editing of the book took place, the editor is most grateful to Nick James for his excellent editorial assistance and for indexing the book so efficiently. I am also grateful for Lianne Sherlock and Neil Jordan's valuable support. Finally the editor would like to thank the contributors for their willingness to revise their chapters against a tight schedule and to accept our editorial input with such good grace.

Landays are pithy, powerful two-line poems that speak of love, honour, war and separation. They are part of a long oral tradition in Pashtun culture, and are often composed by women. The largest group of Landays are written by women left behind in Afghanistan, and they include references to all stages of the migration experience, from departure, through the period of absence, to return. Landays have continued to circulate among Afghan Pashtuns for decades, and the emotions voiced have remained largely the same - the fear of abandonment, and the loneliness and vulnerability of women who are left behind. The only distinction between the earlier and later Landays seems to be the absence of joy in the later ones. All the teasing and urging of migrants disappears in the period that began with the Soviet invasion.

Although similar ideas have been around in various forms for some time, there appears currently to be a convergence of thinking, seen in debates within the EU, the UNHCR's Convention Plus, the British government's proposal on 'new' approaches to asylum seekers and related proposals from the German and Italian governments. This article looks briefly at the discussions around processing centres, which seem to have focussed attention on whether a New Asylum Paradigm is emerging, and to explore developments on the ground, asking to what extent alleged novelties constitute a new, or a single, paradigm. We suggest that although there are apparently competing, conflicting and contradictory proposals and projects on the table, in fact a common logic underpins all of them. Following a sketch of the different proposals we consider the positions of some of the states involved in these developments. We then examine what's happening on the ground in two states targeted as potential partners in the proposals-Libya and Morocco. In the last section of the paper, the significance, novelty and dangers of the proposals are evaluated.

Deportation, understood as the physical removal of someone against their will from the territory ... more Deportation, understood as the physical removal of someone against their will from the territory of one state to that of another, has moved to the forefront of academic and policy agendas. Although there is a growing literature on legislation and policy, there is very little in-depth data on what happens post-deportation. In this article, we examine possible post-deportation outcomes. We argue that, whatever reasons existed for people to migrate in the first place, deportation adds to these and creates at least three additional reasons that make adjustment, integration, or reintegration difficult, if not impossible. These include the impossibility of repaying debts incurred by migration, the existence of transnational and local ties, the shame of failure, and the perceptions of 'contamination'. We draw on a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data gathered in Europe and Afghanistan to argue that many deported Afghans attempt and succeed in re-migrating.

It is only in the last decade, however, with the passage of the 1993 Asylum and Immigration Appeal Act and the 1998 Human Rights Act, that these two Conventions have became part of British law. This paper begins by exploring the impact of the incorporation of the 1951 Convention and then moves on to look at the hopes that are now pinned on the Human Rights Act. It concludes by considering the (actual and potential) impact of these two Conventions on asylum policy and practice since their incorporation into British law and explores the possible conflict between the Conventions and recent British legislation on asylum. In doing so it highlights the need to develop a deeper and contextualised understanding of current preoccupations with the issue of asylum and refuge in Britain and other European societies.

This paper explores the ways in which four European asylum regimes use the deportation, detention and dispersal of asylum-seekers in an attempt to control and exclude them from national societies and territories. Germany, France, Italy and the UK have different migration histories and have introduced different asylum policies at different times; but all have in common the increasingly draconian response to asylum-seekers since the  s. The paper looks at the stated rationale for introducing and extending dispersal, deportation and detention. EU governments have introduced these measures, arguing that they will deter "fraudulent" asylum claims. While the number of claims has fallen in the last five years to the lowest level since  , there is no evidence that this is due to such policies. It is clear, however, that these policies penalize all asylum-seekers, breach their human rights, damage the receiving societies as a whole, and as such should be abandoned.

Whereas the prevailing notion of moral panic rests on its noisy features, there are constructions that occur under the public radar. In such instances, government officials quietly institute policies and practices that adversely affect a targeted group. Moral panic over so-called bogus asylum seekers in the UK represents a noisy construction whereby claims making is loud and public. In the USA, however, that construction is remarkably quiet and does not resonate openly; still, much like their British counterparts, American officials have resorted to the use of confinement. This work explores the differences between the UK and the USA in the realm of moral panic over asylum seekers while remaining attentive to their shared consequences, the unjust detention of those fleeing per...

This paper examines the reasons why States continue to grant asylum and suggests that there are certain conditions which are necessary for granting asylum, in particular, that the benefits to the asylum granting State outweigh any costs.
