Objective
Building on theoretical arguments which interpret migration as a transformative ongoing process (cf. Boyd, Schiller, Hoerder, Basch, Blanc-Szanton) and as a gendered phenomenon affecting individuals’ and societal identities (cf. Hondagneu-Sotelo, Milharčič-Hladnik, Mlekuž, Strle, Salazar Parreñas, Verginella), MIGRAWO is an innovative project that aims to critically examine the way migrant women were represented and represented themselves, thus foregrounding an intersectional perspective to assess how gender, status, ethnicity, identity and ideology touch and traverse migrant women’s trajectories and challenging a narrative that overlooks gender dynamics within migration. MIGRAWO will identify ideas and ideologies about migrant women especially in the domains of labour and political activism, thus indexing a continuity with ongoing visions and practices in the present day and manifold continuing covert and overt discrimination. This will be done through qualitative and quantitative approaches, using the press, official and personal records and oral interviews as sources. Chronologically, MIGRAWO spans from the late nineteenth century to the beginning of the Second World War, a period marked by the formation of mass political activisms, including global women’s movements, and profound changes in European and American political and legal frameworks. The representation and self-representation of Italian-speaking migrant women from Northern Italy and the former Austro-Hungarian territories (particularly from the border between Italy and Slovenia) will be analysed by focussing on the migratory realities of Buenos Aires and New York, two urban centres particularly significant for the presence of large Italian-speaking migrant communities, who worked and engaged in political activism as testified by the presence of many ideologically aligned outlets (for example, La Nuova Civiltà, published in Buenos Aires or La Questione sociale, published in Paterson, NY).
