“…Digital media may offer European Muslims a venue to engage with public audiences (Evolvi, 2017). In the case of young Italian Muslims, a way to interact with society is the storytelling of their everyday experiences to normalize the public presence of Islam (Frisina, 2010).…”

This article encourages researchers of religion, media and culture to develop new, global, comparative conversations about the meaning and purpose of public scholarship. Key terms like “religion”, “media”, “publicness” and “scholarship” can be understood and articulated differently in different social, cultural and geographical locations, and dialogue across our academic contexts is needed to help explore these parallels and divergences. This article shares three reflections from scholars who have lived and worked in west Africa, southern Europe and south-east Asia. Each contributor has been asked to address two questions: How do religious communities engage public audiences? And how can (or should) scholars communicate with the public? The conclusion to the article identifies some of the central themes of their responses: secularity, colonial legacies, globalization, power, vulnerability, and the intended audience of our public interventions.

“…Research on second-generation ethnic or religious minorities, migrants, refugees, Muslim communities and racial minorities have examined the strategies marginalized communities have used to demonstrate or ‘prove’ their citizenship (legal, social, or practical) and/or belonging (e.g. Anderson et al., 2011; Frisina, 2010; Ramos-Zayas, 2004; Riccio and Russo, 2011). It may be that the Korean-Australian community’s ostracization of sex workers provides one way for a racialized community to practice citizenship in a country that has historically privileged Whiteness (e.g.…”

Silence, mobility and ‘national values’: South Korean sex workers in Australia

2016

Korean women sex workers have attracted attention from Australian border security, South Korean government officials and Korean-Australian communities. This article considers how the bodies of these women have become the ‘iconic sites’ ( Luibhéid, 2002 : ix–xxvii) on which the South Korean government and immigrant Korean-Australian communities perform ‘national values’. Within Korean-Australian communities, Korean sex workers have been perceived as threats to the immigrant project of socio-economic mobility and ‘legitimate’ citizenship. We consider the silence that is desired of sex workers within immigrant communities and how this can be co-opted by anti-trafficking discourses that are still predicated on the helpless, voiceless female victim.

“…The dominant social representation regarding migrants’ status has to be taken into account. Control of illegal immigration is regularly at the top of the Italian political agenda, and the restrictive immigration law (n.189, 2002) and the recent security decree (n.125, 2008) make the migrant’s position precarious and tends to criminalize foreigners (Frisina, 2010: 558). Some groups such as Roma, Chinese or Muslim communities often face hostility and negative stereotypes.…”

The integration of young immigrants is a key issue in European societies. The article examines how Moroccan and Romanian youths employ their family social networks to move beyond them to get access to other available resources in their context of migration. We find that youths evaluate families as their main source of social capital. But how do they combine family and kinship resources to build new networks? The study draws on 57 in-depth interviews with teenagers from secondary schools in the Veneto Region, a paradigmatic area for the increasing ethnic pluralization of Italian society. Moving beyond the usual understandings of social capital and social networks we focus first on the relationship between bonding and bridging, in particular the distinction between horizontal and vertical bridging among migrants. Then attention is paid to the agency of youths, stressing their social competence to overcome initial difficulties such as gender inequalities or the limits of bonding solidarity.
