In this brief essay for the UNPOP series I will try to discuss existing entanglements and conflicts between Italian public discourses on Mediterranean border crossings and the counter-public political project of a common postcolonial (post-memory). In fact, staying with\u00a0Marianne Hirsch\u2019s<\/u><\/a>\u00a0concept, \u201cpostmemory\u201d describes the relationship that the \u201cgeneration after\u201d bears to the personal, collective, and cultural trauma of the experiences of those who came before, which are \u201cremembered\u201d only via stories, images, and behaviours transmitted throughout their upbringing. These experiences were transmitted in such a deep and affective manner, seemly constituting memories in their own right. Postmemory\u2019s connection to the past is, thus, mediated not by recall but by imaginative investment, projection, and creation.<\/p>\n

I believe that the term postmemory can be used to describe generations of young Black and Brown Italians and Italian residents, who were born from migrants in the wake of the age of migrations towards Italy, only to the extent that we acknowledge both the need of \u201cconcrete(ness) and actual examples of inter-generational transmission of diverse traumatic pasts\u201d (see\u00a0Cristina Demaria<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and others) and the fact that these memories do not belong to an actual past.<\/p>\n

Due to the enduring violence of the \u201cborder regime\u201d, memories of Mediterranean border-crossings are reiterated by the experiences of those who relentlessly undertake present Mediterranean \u201cMiddle passages\u201d.\u00a0Luisa Passerini and Giada Giustetto<\/u><\/a>\u00a0have referred to memory in the context of border-crossings towards Italy as something \u201cliving\u201d, based on the \u201cliving archives\u201d of survivors. I argue that in these cases memories are not \u201cliving\u201d only because bearers of that memory are still alive, but because the enduring border violence against migrant movement produces the collapse of a distinction between past, present, and future, which resembles what\u00a0Denise Ferreira da Silva<\/u><\/a>\u00a0has identified in the Black lived experience of post-slavery structural racism. Accordingly, the prefix \u201cpost\u201d can only refer to inter-generationality and trans-generationality, and not to the memory of a phenomenon, such as the Holocaust, which occurred solely in the past, unlike anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

From the perspective of the\u00a0Italian context<\/u><\/a>, the lived memories of the relatives of young Black and Brown Italians are often transmitted in private and are still mostly neglected within the public sphere. The lived experiences of their families, which are revitalised every day by migrants\u2019 enduring experiences of surviving the Mediterranean Middle passage, is not discussed in mainstream media and institutions \u2013 except for a very limited number of films and TV series produced by Italian television or sponsored by the Italian Film Commission, which tend to be, however, quite stereotypical. Unlike other memories of trauma, namely that of Holocaust survivors and their offspring, which triggered Hirsch\u2019s reflections on postmemory, in Italy, unofficialised memories of trauma stemming from the Middle passages are prevented from engaging the wider public discourse through novels (like\u00a0Djarah Khan<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Esp\u00e9rance Hakuzwimana<\/u><\/a>‘s), films (like\u00a0Andrea Segre<\/u><\/a>\u2019s) and documentaries (like\u00a0Dagmawi Yimer<\/u><\/a>\u2019s) that are produced by protagonists themselves and can testify to the violence of border regimes.<\/p>\n

Moreover, these memories and traumas are disregarded and depoliticised, inserted in a hostile overarching discourse about migration that equates Middle passages with a condition of inferiority, reducing migration solely to the\u00a0poverty, misery, violence, and despair<\/u><\/a>\u00a0from where migrants or their relatives fled, rather than the outcome of the strenuous search for happiness and healing \u2013 a reflection which would require a \u201cresponsible gaze\u201d from Italian society. Trauma is not discussed publicly, its elaboration is limited to families, communities, and individuals according to specific\u00a0cultural and individual coping mechanisms<\/u><\/a>. In general, the specific conditions that generate migrants\u2019 mobility and the suffering caused by border violence are both omitted in the public discourse. Otherwise, when trauma is made visible, as\u00a0Barbara Pinelli<\/u><\/a>\u00a0argues, the representation of the experiences of migrant women who are victims of violence during the Middle passage is mediated by ideas of violence, freedom, emancipation, memory, healing, accountability, and justice that are produced within Italian society. This, on the one hand, contrast with their quest for \u201copacity\u201d \u2013 in the sense of\u00a0\u00c9douard Glissant<\/u><\/a>, that is the right not to publicly recount the reasons of migration and stories of the Middle passage; on the other hand, it results in the continued stripping of these women\u2019s subjectivity and choice to escape and in the silencing of the sense of freedom experienced when crossing the Mediterranean (and other) borders.<\/p>\n

Memorialisation practices in Italy are mostly related to the public elaboration over a more generalised \u201cmassacre of the innocent Other\u201d. Unlike many initiatives that were born from the collaborative action of local and national activist associations, intellectuals and artists, citizens and migrants \u2013 and that targeted both people in migration and Italian nationals \u2013 official memorialisation practices have mostly targeted Italian white public opinion and have failed to name the victims, investigate, and take responsibility for the trauma and losses migrants experienced. As\u00a0Miriam Ticktin<\/u><\/a>\u00a0argues in the case of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy of Kurdish ethnic background found dead on a beach near Bodrum on 2 September 2015, public remembrances lacking accountability fail to call into question the reasons of the massacre (in this case, border regimes and border patrolling and closures). Rather, they appeal to the sense of guilt of a fragile white national imagined community from which the \u201cinnocent Other\u201d is excluded. Instead of the will to end the massacre, public visibility, and memorialisation point to the unaccountable perpetration of violence in the name of national security by Italian, European and international authorities. As a result, migrants, the \u201cinnocent victims of a genocide\u201d, continue being perceived in populist narratives as potential victims of the barbarity that structures the \u201cOut there\u201d while being criminalised for illegally crossing national borders. As the research undertaken within both the FCT projects \u201c(De)Othering<\/u><\/a>\u201d and \u201cUNPOP<\/u><\/a>\u201d testifies for, Italian populist right (Lega\/Fratelli d\u2019Italia) as well as populist narratives of more traditional parties (i.e. Democratic Party, Forza Italia), and their affiliated newspapers, always oscillate between the two poles of an ontology and a politics of emotions that mobilises the iconography of the \u201cperfect victim\u201d and that of a natural born criminal,\u00a0both extremely racist and based on colonial archives<\/u><\/a>. In that sense, there\u2019s no contradiction between the state memorialisation of the victims of the Mediterranean Middle Passage, the silencing of individual and collective memories of the violence of the Mediterranean border regime (which kills or let die migrants crossing the basin), and the criminalisation of migrants and \u201csmugglers\u201d (which was officialised in a law that followed the shipwreck and death of more than\u00a094 people offshore Cutro, Calabria<\/u><\/a>, caused by the Italian state\u2019s negligence). Rather than reflecting on a condemnation of border regimes and the Italian state\u2019s and European institutions\u2019 accountability for violence, suffering and death, memorialisation and its politics of emotion (always recalling Italians\u2019 good-willing sentiments rather than the actual feeling of those who lost their beloved) hides \u2013 and indirectly legitimises \u2013 border regimes\u2019 ongoing production of migrants\u2019 illegality: their shipwrecks are their fault, or someone\u2019s ontologically bad \u2013 the \u201csmuggler\u201d \u2013 and not that of a global system that produces despair, suffering, the need to leave, borders and migrant trafficking. Finally, through public discourse on border-crossings, memorialisation also fails to prevent the reproduction of the Outsiderness of migrants and their offspring\u2019s (cultural\/racial) Otherness, even when they have been living in Italy for years. In Italy\u2019s national community, and in those of many other receiving European countries, this lack of belonging materialises in social and cultural marginality.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Postmemory\u2019s connection to the past is, thus, mediated not by recall but by imaginative investment, projection, and creation.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/what-do-women-want-how-women-are-portrayed-in-marine-le-pens-rassemblement-national-duplicate-1\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/what-do-women-want-how-women-are-portrayed-in-marine-le-pens-rassemblement-national-duplicate-1\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/what-do-women-want-how-women-are-portrayed-in-marine-le-pens-rassemblement-national-duplicate-1\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Mediterranean border crossings, populism, emotions and postcolonial (post-)memory"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#website","url":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/","name":"UNPOP - Populismo e Emo\u00e7\u00f5es","description":"Desmontar o Populismo","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#organization","name":"UNPOP - UNpacking POPulism","url":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/upsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/unpop-logo-text.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/upsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/unpop-logo-text.png","width":200,"height":75,"caption":"UNPOP - UNpacking POPulism"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#\/schema\/person\/9bbea44e25ddefaef01c3a690ca0d902","name":"manuelcruz","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a9283f2092db723b239285bbd1a74928?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a9283f2092db723b239285bbd1a74928?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"manuelcruz"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1007879"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1007879"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1007879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1007947,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1007879\/revisions\/1007947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1007882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1007879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1007879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unpop.ces.uc.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1007879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
