ABSTRACT This article focuses on the case of Central American female domestic and care workers in Barcelona, many of whom live and work as undocumented migrants and are unaware of their rights and the mechanisms to exercise them. The Trade Union Confederation of Workers’ Commissions, from its CITE association, has vast experience in training foreigners through the delivery of face-to-face workshops on labor rights that have enabled their empowerment. With the COVID-19 emergency, the face-to-face workshop format switched to virtual for the first time, through the use of Google Meet (formerly Hangouts Meet) application, allowing mobile learning (m-learning). The results presented show how this new training modality, despite the challenges it poses to organizers in terms of technological and human resources, not only achieves the empowerment of the benefitted migrant women, but also improves the accessibility of this vulnerable group to training.
本文主要关注巴塞罗那的中美洲女性家政和护理工作者的案例,她们中的许多人作为无证移民生活和工作,不知道自己的权利和行使这些权利的机制。工人委员会工会联合会(Trade Union Confederation of Workers’committees)在通过举办面对面的劳工权利讲习班培训外国人方面拥有丰富的经验,使他们能够获得权力。在COVID-19紧急情况下,通过使用谷歌Meet(原Hangouts Meet)应用程序,面对面的研讨会形式首次转为虚拟形式,从而实现了移动学习。研究结果表明,尽管这种新的培训模式给组织者带来了技术和人力资源方面的挑战,但它不仅实现了对受益的移民妇女的赋权,而且改善了这一弱势群体接受培训的机会。

ABSTRACT Greek tragedy as a genre is subject to continuous reinterpretation by contemporary authors who make use of myth to interpret the present. In recent decades in Europe and Australia, Euripides’s play Women of Troy (5th Century BCE), has been adapted on numerous occasions to comment on armed conflict, refugeeism and victimhood in the Gulf War, the Syrian conflict and others. In 2002 a play written by Michel Vinaver and translated into Catalan had its worldwide premiere in Barcelona. This play established links between Euripides’s original and the Twin Towers attack in New York on September 11 2001. In 2004, Rosalba Clemente and Dawn Langman adapted and staged Women of Troy with the attack in mind, for an Australian audience. The new millennium starts amidst victims. Both versions highlight the complexities and ambiguities that inspire war and its split between winners and losers as another way to define the Other.

ABSTRACT This article reflects on how the Australian experience of multicultural literary studies can contribute to a better understanding of Catalan literary studies. The article adopts a transnational perspective to examine how positionality can shape understandings of the object of study. In particular, the article analyzes how the phenomenon of immigration can open up new, more inclusive discourses on national identities. To this end, it explores the development of multicultural literary studies in Australia since the 1980s and its implications for the construction of a national identity. While recognising that the two cases are very different, given that Australia is a sovereign nation and Catalonia is a stateless one, the article compares the relationship between migrant writings and national literatures in Australia and Catalonia respectively. The article concludes by proposing possible research angles for Catalan literary studies with the aim of facilitating social and cultural cohesion.

ABSTRACT Transnational immigration is quite a new phenomenon in Catalonia and the rest of Spain. Its sudden increase from 2000 on helps explain why immigration policies have unfolded during the last 20 years, a long-enough period to start evaluating its impact. This article reviews the framework for policies for linguistic integration of the foreign-born population in Catalonia, and explores their results through the lens of census data on these new speakers’ language abilities and practices. It shows that, in Spain, the asymmetrical distribution of competences and power between the state and sub-state levels “prevents the minority nations from developing comprehensive public policy on immigration.” Together with the unbalanced legal and economic status of Castilian and Catalan, and the demographic minorization of Catalan-speakers, this poses a challenge to the full linguistic integration of immigrants and to the sustainability of Catalan in the long run.

ABSTRACT What does adopting an Australian identity mean? This is a personal journey, as we come from a Catalan background. It is a reflection on contemporary Melbourne life, paying special attention to immigration waves and ways of life in our new country. However, to integrate experiences and everyday memories into a general framework, we will offer a preliminary comparative scheme between both cultures. We will explore the system of cultural reproduction, differential multiculturality, the emergence of political rights, and the institutional creation of cultural and political identities in both countries.

No one owns the past, but this has never stopped people from trying to shape or foreclose our relationships with it. The stakes in forging certain relations with the past are always consequential, whether or not they appear to be, despite a lack of consensus surrounding the ends of remembering and forgetting. The terms of the debate about memory evolve as the past becomes institutionalized, branded, cultivated by social movements, courted by elites or the downtrodden, integrated into national(ist) mythologies or displaced by corporate aesthetics that disappear a sense of time and the terms of the political altogether. For Manuel Cruz, history and memory can never be understood outside of the political conditions that shape them. By this he means that we are under constant and shifting pressure to forget or remember in very specific ways, which are never reducible to remembering or forgetting. Cruz advocates “a more shaded perspective” that acknowledges there are pathological ways of remembering and healthy forms of forgetting. Cruz’s “more shaded perspective” complements Philip J. Brendese’s argument in favor of an agonistic approach to memory. Extending approaches to democracy that emphasise the imperative of pluralism, Brendese argues that “democratization [. . .] requires an agonistic engagement with multiple, often deeply conflicting, relationships to memory and time.” An agonistic approach to memory replaces the false dichotomy of forgetting or remembering, and the naïve assumption that memory is useful in order to not repeat the horrors of the past with an open-ended dialectic of ambiguity and multiplicity. After examining a range of (mis)uses of history, including that it can tell us something about the present or how not to repeat the past, Cruz reflects on the possibility that it could help us to live well. Helping us to live well means—depending on one’s social position—maintaining hegemony or offering the possibility of emancipation. In the case of the latter, living well is synonymous with imagining alternative futures, resisting, surviving, struggling. Remembering well entails remembering the terms of the political, and the political terms of memory itself, which open subjectivities of possibility and multiple paths to the future. For Herbert Marcuse, remembrance revives the possibility of difference, the radical potential of the future. Subjectivity and imaginaries of political possibility emerge out of memory. Memory is both the condition for subjectivity and possibility. In this sense, the politics of memory is always the memory of politics and a basis for the cultivation of future possibility.
没有人拥有过去,但这从来没有阻止人们试图塑造或消除我们与过去的关系。尽管人们对记忆和遗忘的目的缺乏共识,但与过去建立某种关系的利害关系总是重要的,不管它们看起来是否如此。随着过去被制度化、烙印化、被社会运动培育、被精英或受压迫者追捧、被纳入国家(主义)神话或被企业美学取代,关于记忆的辩论的术语也在演变,而企业美学完全消失了时间感和政治术语。对于曼努埃尔·克鲁兹(Manuel Cruz)来说,历史和记忆永远无法脱离塑造它们的政治环境来理解。他的意思是,我们处于不断变化的压力下,以非常具体的方式忘记或记住,这些方式永远不能简化为记住或忘记。克鲁兹提倡“更阴暗的观点”,承认有病态的记忆方式和健康的遗忘方式。克鲁兹的“更阴暗的视角”补充了菲利普·j·布伦迪斯(Philip J. Brendese)支持记忆对抗方法的观点。Brendese将民主的研究方法扩展到强调多元主义的必要性,他认为“民主化(……)需要与记忆和时间的多重关系(通常是深刻冲突的关系)进行激烈的接触。”一种对抗记忆的方法取代了遗忘或记忆的错误二分法,以及naïve假设记忆是有用的,以便不重复过去的恐怖,这是一种模棱两可和多样性的开放式辩证法。在研究了历史的一系列(错误)用法之后,包括它可以告诉我们一些关于现在的事情,或者如何不重复过去,克鲁兹反思了它可以帮助我们更好地生活的可能性。帮助我们过得好意味着——取决于一个人的社会地位——维持霸权或提供解放的可能性。在后一种情况下,活得好就是想象不同的未来、抵抗、生存、挣扎的同义词。好的记忆需要记住政治术语,以及记忆本身的政治术语,它们打开了可能性的主观性和通往未来的多种路径。对于赫伯特·马尔库塞来说,记忆唤醒了差异的可能性,未来的激进潜力。政治可能性的主观性和想象产生于记忆。记忆既是主观性的条件,也是可能性的条件。从这个意义上说,记忆的政治始终是政治的记忆,是培养未来可能性的基础。
