(In)hospitality: Legitimacy Struggles in the Welcoming of Migrants and Refugees

“…Beyond the multiple possible bridges and porosities, the differences are still there between the components of the "inhospitable" block, oscillating between institutional political parties of the far right promoting a stronger closure of borders, and the reduction of asylum policies-for example by emphasizing the fight against terrorism or national preference; nationalist groupings, promoting more radical discourses and direct action in the form of "vigilantism" or even physical racist attacks on the street; and finally, the most reactionary movements of Jewish or Christian religions preaching differentiation between migrants and refugees to be welcomed or excluded depending on their origins and their real or supposed religion-Islam being directly associated by them with the most sectarian interpretations and jihadism. But these different components complement each other, even though practices or formats may differ and the logics of common public displays and affiliations are very diverse across countries (Simonneau & Castelli Gattinara, 2019).…”

Politicizing support and opposition to migration in France: the EU asylum policy crisis and direct social activism

“…Perceived emergencies, in fact, reshape the available space for contention by collective actors, and reconfigure their network of potential allies and opponents (Della Porta 2018;Fontanari and Borri 2017). Second, moments of crisis might be associated with the diffusion of specific forms of mobilization, because collective action choices carry alternative interpretations of the issue at stake (Simonneau and Castelli Gattinara 2019). Notably, emergencies might propel Direct Social Actions (DSAs), i.e.…”
