Observa-se hoje uma série de esforços voltados para a recuperação da memória do período ditatorial no Brasil. A partir da discussão da memória do holocausto, o artigo busca chamar a atenção para a necessária reflexão acerca do potencial que a memória do período ditatorial apresenta para a promoção da reconciliação nacional. Ciente do potencial libertador/restaurador da rememoração, este artigo discute, além da dificuldade de comunicar da memória traumática, os riscos relacionados ao seu uso. Ao discutir esses temas, esperamos contribuir para que os sentidos atribuídos às memórias de milhares de vítimas possibilitem a construção de projetos que modifiquem o presente e o futuro, de forma a evitar a manutenção de situações de violação de direitos humanos.
Recent interest in the securitization of immigration has highlighted a significant shift in immigration enforcement, from border regulation to the control of territorially present populations. Emphasis has focused on the production of migrant illegality and strategies that criminalize undocumented workers. In this article, we shift the focus of analysis to examine how legal residents convicted of non-immigration-related criminal offences are also actively produced as deportable subjects. Drawing on research examining records of appeal cases involving Jamaican nationals in removal proceedings consequent to a criminal conviction, we illustrate how deportability is produced by the deportation process itself, through legal practices that assert migrant criminality and alienage. We suggest 'criminality' not only comes to represent migrant subjectivity, at the expense of other forms of subjectivity based on belonging and territorial presences, but acts as affirmation of alienage.
