Contemporary Migration. Multimedia Diaries of Migrant Memories Project DIMMI

Subject

The Emigration Research Center participates in the Scientific Committee and the Editorial Committee of the Diari Multimediali Migranti DIMMI project, which collects testimonies of contemporary migrants. The texts constitute the source of research activity on various aspects of the contemporary migratory experience (motivations, expectations, life projects, travel, reception in the country of arrival, integration, work, family and friendship relationships, etc.)

Learning outcomes

1. Collection of testimonies of contemporary migrants;
2. Publication of some of the texts submitted by March 2024 (see DIMMI 2024 Competition Regulations);
3. Enhancement of texts through interdisciplinary teaching projects.

Status of works

Research started. The publication of the written testimonies selected in July 2024 is expected in September 2023. In July 2024 the Scientific Committee, of which the Emigration Center is a member, will read the texts received for the 2024 edition.
