Resumo: The public debate on immigration in Italy has been marked, since the 1990s, by the link between popular racism and institutional racism, as well as by various expressions of sexism. Voices clashing with the ongoing security paradigm have been a constant target of attacks from both social movements on the right wing as well as from political parties and exponents, the preferred target of these attacks being women who occupy prominent political positions and act for the fundamental rights of immigrants, such as Laura Boldrini and Cècile Kyenge. Migrant women have also been the target of xenophobic and racist speeches and practices, linked to misogyny and sexism. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze the multiple forms of mobilization of racism, sexism and the instrumentalization of gender violence, pointing to the construction of stereotypes about bodies considered dangerous in the public debate on immigration in Italy.

Las voces discrepantes con el actual paradigma de seguridad han sido un objetivo constante de los ataques tanto de los movimientos sociales de derechas como de los partidos y exponentes políticos, y el blanco preferente de estos ataques han sido las mujeres que ocupan puestos políticos destacados y actúan a favor de los derechos fundamentales de los inmigrantes, como es el caso de Laura Boldrini y Cècile Kyenge. Las mujeres migrantes también han sido objeto de discursos y prácticas xenófobas y racistas, articulados con la misoginia y el sexismo. Así, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar las múltiples formas de movilización del racismo, el sexismo y la instrumentalización de la violencia de género, apuntando a la construcción de estereotipos sobre los cuerpos considerados peligrosos en el debate sobre la inmigración en Italia.O debate público sobre a imigração na Itália tem sido marcado, desde a década de 1990, pela vinculação entre o racismo popular e o racismo institucional, assim como por diversas expressões de sexismo. As vozes que destoam do paradigma securitário em curso têm sido alvo constante de ataques tanto de movimentos sociais da direita, quanto de partidos e expoentes políticos, e o alvo preferencial destes ataques tem sido as mulheres que ocupam cargos políticos proeminentes e atuam em prol dos direitos fundamentais dos imigrantes, como é o caso de Laura Boldrini e de Cècile Kyenge. Também as mulheres migrantes têm sido alvo de discursos e práticas xenófobas e racistas, articulados com a misoginia e o sexismo. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar as múltiplas formas de mobilização do racismo, do sexismo e da instrumentalização da violência de gênero, apontando para a construção dos estereótipos sobre os corpos considerados perigosos no debate sobre imigração na Itália.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2021-05-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/1344610.52780/res.13446Estudos de Sociologia; v. 26 n. 50 (2021): Dossiê: Participação política no Brasil: mudanças e permanências nos padrões de ativismo político1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/13446/10790Copyright (c) 2021 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGarcia, Fernanda Di FloraZuin, João Carlos Soares2021-05-25T14:29:44Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13446Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-25T14:29:44Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
