International audience ; Programme et résumés des communications du colloque international célébrant les trente années d'existence du laboratoire MIGRINTER (UMR 7301 - CNRS / Université de Poitiers). Ces dernières décennies ont été celles d'une inscription croissante de la thématique migratoire au coeur de la réflexion portée par différents champs des sciences sociales, érigeant la migration en fait social total de nos sociétés contemporaines. Le thème choisi, Penser les migrations pour repenser la société, vient à dessein réinterroger ce lien entre migrations et sciences sociales, à partir de questionnements théoriques et méthodologiques autour du vivre ensemble, de la mobilité sociale et géographique, des espaces publics, des mutations urbaines et changements sociétaux, de la gouvernance, et de la frontière et de ses transgressions, entre autres. La diversité des horizons disciplinaires, géographiques et professionnels des participants aux séances plénières et aux ateliers du colloque, mais aussi aux manifestations culturelles attenantes, témoigne de la richesse incarnée par l'objet 'migration'… Une richesse propice à un dialogue entre monde académique et acteurs socio-culturels, politiques et économiques, auquel notre manifestation entend faire une large place. Dans cet esprit, des expositions et représentations artistiques viendront enrichir – et questionner – les diverses approches scientifiques de la migration proposées par le colloque. En lien avec les débats scientifiques, la densité des regards portés par les acteurs du monde culturel et associatif sur la migration ne vous laissera pas insensibles !

This article explores unaccompanied adolescent minors' (UAMs) experiences of deterrent practices at internal EU borders while being on the move. Previous studies have acknowledged the securitisation of external borders through gatekeeping and fencing practices; however, there is a recent and continued renationalisation of internal EU borders by the member states. Like other migrants who are travelling irregularly, UAMs also often face harsh living conditions and repeated rights violations in border areas, regardless of their specific rights to protection and psychological needs. Research has called for a renewed focus on migrant children's experiences as active agents at the borders, but until now studies exploring UAMs' experiences at internal EU borders remain scarce. Drawing on Agamben's notion of "legal exception," we seek to explore how deterrent practices are confusingly intertwined and affect UAMs' psychological wellbeing and subjectivities in the Ventimiglia border space. Participant observations and in-depth interviews conducted with UAMs at the French-Italian border provide unique insights into how these bordering practices affect migrant children's legal and psychological safety and reshape their subjectivities. This contribution highlights UAMs' conflicting needs and feelings of institutional "abandonment" when left without institutional welfare protection in the border space, on the one hand, and feeling pressured to act responsibly towards their relatives, on the other.

Studies have reported alarmingly high rates of traumatic experiences for refugee populations. While nearly all refugees experienced trauma in their country of origin, a vast majority of those seeking protection abroad also face (extreme) violence during their journeys and once in the country of destination. By concentrating on the migratory experiences of about 300 unaccompanied minors that we approached in Libya, Italy, Greece, and Belgium, this article analyses how different forms of violence are inflicted on these young migrants while moving to Europe. By concentrating on personal accounts of (recurrent) interactions with the EU migration and border management tools, we reveal the structural violence within the day-to-day governance of migration. Often framed as unintended or accidental, the article discusses how violence is instead ubiquitous, as it is systematically inflicted on migrants—including unaccompanied minors—in the form of repeated series of violent events or "loops of violence." Importantly, such manifestations of violence are perpetrated by key institutional and non-institutional actors in the "migration industry" who are (in)directly involved in managing migration both inside and outside of the EU. Conceptually, we rely on K. E. Dempsey's political geography of the different typologies of violence within Europe's governance of migration and asylum and use it to concentrate on key transitional phases/fractures in migratory trajectories—i.e., as unaccompanied young migrants (try to) cross international borders and legal boundaries.
