Miradas y voces de la inmigración tiene, como objetivo esencial, dar a conocer la pluralidad de escenarios existentes detrás del aparente y reducido concepto del hecho migratorio. Aquí se plantea una reflexión de procedencias, de orígenes, de disciplinas y perspectivas, que ponen en evidencia la transversalidad del fenómeno migratorio, yendo desde la alimentación, la economía, los estereotipos y lo jurídico hasta llegar a las palabras, la literatura, el cine o la publicidad. En todo puede estar la inmigración y, en efecto, lo está, porque es el reflejo de lo que es el ser humano: búsqueda, indagación y superación. El trabajo se presenta, pues, como una suma de investigaciones, reflexiones y estados de la cuestión por parte de especialistas en la materia de diferentes disciplinas, con el fin de llegar a un objetivo común, que es el de dar voz y mirada a todo y a todos.

There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

This book presents the results of a research on the integration of second generation migrants in Catalonia. Drawing on in-depth biographical interviews, we demonstrate the link between language and social mobility. Language is a particularly important social issue in Catalonia. A bilingual region in northeast Spain, Catalonia has been receiving foreign migration for several decades. Nowadays, some of the children of those migrants are entering the labor market. For many migrant families, providing social mobility for their children was one of their main goals. What effects does bilingualism have on the social trajectories of migrant children? Is Catalan important for social mobility? The book answers these questions focusing on the fate of three migrant communities: Argentineans, Colombians and Moroccans. El libro presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la segunda generación de inmigrantes en Cataluña. Basado en entrevistas biográficas en profundidad, demostramos el vínculo entre lengua y movilidad social. La lengua es una cuestión particularmente importante en Cataluña. Una región bilingue en el nordeste de España, Cataluña ha estado recibiendo migración extranjera durante varias décadas. Actualmente, algunos de los hijos de esos inmigrantes están entrando en el mercado de trabajo. Para muchas familias inmigrantes, conseguir la movilidad social para sus hijos era uno de los principales objetivos. Que efectos tiene el bilinguismo en las trayectorias de los niños inmigrantes? El Catalán es importante para la movilidad social? El libro responde a estas preguntas centrandose en el destino de tres comunidades inmigrantes: Argentinos, Colombianos y Marroquies.

Hear Me with Your Eyes examines the intrusion of the voice into the cinematographic gaze and the intersections (and ruptures) of the sound-image in Argentine women filmmakers from a feminist perspective. In different ways, Maria Luisa Bemberg, Lita Stantic, Lucrecia Martel, Albertina Carri, Maria Victoria Menis, Lucia Puenzo, Sabrina Farji, Paula de Luque, Anahi Berneri, Sandra Gugliotta, and Gabriela David explore the visual realm through the continuities, intrusions, irrelevancies, harmonies, and desynchronizations of the voice. Or, instead, they explore different voices and their modulations, including whispers, screams, singing, echoes, breathing, resonance, sighs, and the transcendent voice, the narrative voice, the silenced voice, the articulated and unarticulated voice, and that which is none of the above. These voices suggest another relationship with the audiovisual realm, one that seems to include a closeness that erases, if only intermittently, the unalterable relationship between subject and object that characterizes the patriarchal visual regime.

The construction of memory entails a battle not only between memory and forgetting but also between different memories. There are multiple constructions of memory, and in the dispute between them, some become hegemonic, while others remain in the margins. Ana Forcinito explores the intermittences of transitional justice and memory in post-dictatorship Uruguay. The processes of building memory and transitional justice are repetitive but inconstant. They are contested by both internal and external forces and shaped by tensions between oblivion and silence. Forcinito explores models of reconciliation to present an alternative narrative of the past and to expose the blind spots of memory.
