Les foyers d’en-haut.La montagne, emblème du paradoxe de l’intégration des requérant·es d’asile en Suisse by Viviane Cretton

La représentation des paysages d’exil dans les arts visuels contemporains : l’exemple du film Parmi nous de Clément Cogitore by Ann Epoudry

Seeking victims’ perspective on remedy: the case of Brasil Verde Farm’s workers by Regiane Cristina de Oliveira

“…To understand the challenges preventing the effectiveness of the remedy system, this article relies on the collaboration with workers from Barras (Piauí), that were subjected to slave labor in the Brasil Verde Farm. The workers’ narratives – collected through oral history methodology, during a fieldtrip to Piauí, in March 2016 –, help to overcome the ongoing debate on remedy studies related to the discourse of victims’ “wants and needs”, and reveal that any reparation measure that intend to promote social emancipation has to deal with the absences of the right to participation, security, adequate standards of living, health, adequate housing, education, and also access to land.…”
