“…The applicants' slightest verbal or nonverbal missteps-whether the result of embellishment, nerves, or just the fallibility of memory-can disqualify their case. Scholars and immigrant rights activists have documented the "pervasive climate of disbelief" that engulfs the asylum-seeking process (Shuman & Bohmer, 2004, p. 406; see also Bhabha & Smith, 2007;Dolnick, 2011;Fobear, 2015;Gurer, 2019). Bond and Atoum (2000) found evidence of "cross-cultural similarities in the way that liars act and that behavioral concomitants of deception can be identified across cultures" (p. 394); still, listeners were more likely to judge speakers as deceptive if they were speaking in an unfamiliar language rather than the listener's language.…”

Intercultural Communication, the Influence of Trauma, and the Pursuit of Asylum in the United States

This project analyzes the roles of communication and culture in credible fear interviews and asylum hearings in the United States to elucidate how autobiographical testimonies enable and restrain asylum seekers in their efforts to establish themselves as deserving of protection. This work shows how trauma influences one’s ability to narrate their past and argues that culturally-bound storytelling norms negatively and unevenly threaten the outcomes of some asylum cases. I support this claim with evidence from oral history interviews with asylum seekers, immigration officers, judges, and attorneys.

“…A clear government policy that aligns with international refugee standards should be implemented (Gurer, 2019). The government should enforce a monitoring and evaluation mechanism on policy compliance across local, provincial, and national strata.…”

To What Cost to its Continental Hegemonic Standpoint: Making Sense of South Africa’s Xenophobia Conundrum Post Democratization

From the 1940s, a period where the National Party (NP) came into power and destabilized African and Southern Africa’s political dynamics, South Africa became a pariah state and isolated from both the African and African political realms and, to some extent, global spectrum(s). The domestic political transition period (1990-1994) from apartheid to democracy further changed Pretoria’s continental political stance. After the first-ever democratic elections in 1994, where the African National Congress (ANC) was victorious, South Africa was regarded as a regional and continental hegemon capable of re-uniting itself with continental and global politics and importantly uniting African states because of its relatively robust economy. However, the demise of apartheid brought immense opportunities for other African migrants to come and settle in South Africa for diverse reasons and bring a new enemy in xenophobia. Post-1994, xenophobia has rattled South Africa driven (albeit not entirely) by escalating domestic social ills and foreign nationals often being blamed for this. Using a qualitative methodology supplemented by secondary data, this article ponders xenophobia in post-democratization South Africa and what setbacks this has had on its hegemonic standpoint in Africa post the apartheid era.

“…Despite the fact that the immigrants interviewed were mostly living in Lisbon for the last 3 to 15 years, we noticed a certain difficulty to understand fully the observations made by some. Especially in the neighbourhood of Mouraria, were multiculturalism is predominant (Gurer, 2019;LaPaglia, 2018), some of the interviews had to be conducted in English and sometimes by translation from an external participant. Therefore, the participation of residents (all confused) into the discussion as a source of data and as co-researchers can be discussed as valuable or endangering the data analysis process (Ezzy, 2002).…”

The Impacts of Tourism on Cultural Identity on Lisbon Historic Neighbourhoods

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the past last decades tourism was long perceived as a solution to remediate to economic crisis and recessions, while the impacts were secondary and weren’t qualified. Focusing of the consequences of tourism development, the identities of historic urban areas were constantly been neglected as essential features and symbols of their attractiveness. However, long before tourism, modifications of cities spatial structures and social geography were conducted by governments as strategies to repopulate certain urban areas abandoned for historical or economic reasons. For instance, through gentrification, urban rehabilitation or revitalisation, the urban structures became more appealing and attracted investments that strengthen local economies. Nevertheless, these transformations have dismantled cultural patterns and were amplified by touristification. This investigation deals with gentrification and urban rehabilitation as precursors of tourism growth and how it influences a neighbourhood’s cultural identity. Using a historic touristic destination as an example gave leverage to the understanding of the repercussions. Lisbon historic neighbourhoods; Alfama, Mouraria and Bairro Alto, influenced our understanding with the active participation of the residents as co-contributors of this research. Findings confronted our pre-existing understandings on tourism growth to the impacts generated on cultural identity.
