[Euromixproject.rch] Article: "Vie privée et familiale » en temps de pandémie" Revue européenne des migrations internationales

[Laura Odasso]

Dear Euromix members,

I hope this mail finds you well.

A quick message to share with you an article that I have co-authored with
F. Fogel (expert of irregular migrant families in France).
The article - whose title is *'**Vie privée et familiale' en temps de
pandémie. Continuités et ruptures d’une politique discriminatoire : le cas
de la France*" - is out in the last number to the *REMI, Revue européenne
des migrations internationales. *
Here, you have a link to read it for free (the link works until October,
19th) : https://www.cairn.info/tap-hm48s56aaufo1
I add the abstracts in English and in French at the end of this message.

I hope it can be of interest for some of you.

All the best,

Laura ODASSO


*Abstracts*

*In English*
This article examines the impact of the measures to contain COVID-19 on the
right to family life in France. The shutdown of prefectural reception
facilities, the freezing of visas for family reunification and the closure
of international borders leave families at a dead end. Some people already
in the country are seeing the hope of regularisation fade away, while
others waiting for reunification are seeing the time of their separation
getting longer. While several complex government measures have followed one
another, the recourse to exceptional legal practices (i.e.: summary
proceedings) has become common, some collective mobilisations have emerged.
The analysis of the administrative immobilisation and of these
mobilisations reveals an amplification of the inequalities in accessing the
law and of the visibility of certain categories. These dynamics reflect the
ongoing deterioration of the rights of foreigners prior to the health
crisis.

*In French:*
Cet article interroge l’impact des mesures de lutte contre la COVID-19 sur
le droit à la vie familiale en France. Fermeture de l’accueil préfectoral,
gel de la délivrance des visas pour regroupement familial et clôture des
frontières internationales laissent des familles dans l’impasse. Des
personnes sur le territoire voient s’éloigner l’espoir d’une
régularisation, d’autres en attente de réunification voient se dilater le
temps de leur séparation. Des mesures gouvernementales complexes se sont
succédé, le recours aux pratiques légales exceptionnelles (référé) est
devenu courant, et des mobilisations collectives diverses se sont
développées. L’analyse de l’*immobilisation* administrative et de ces
*mobilisations *révèle une amplification des inégalités dans l’accès au
droit et de la visibilisation de certaines catégories. Ces dynamiques
s’inscrivent dans la continuité d’une dégradation du droit des étrangers,
antérieure à la crise sanitaire.
