To think about current and future challenges, so as to build perspective: with the debut of Perspectiva and Perspectiva, B-Side columns on the Janainas e.V. blog, we contemplate, re/visit and re/think the confluences of migration and intersectionality.
Every two weeks, Perspectiva will feature ideas, interviews, essays and debates aligned with the major frictions of the Latin American-Berlin migration context.
Intersectional debates
Topics such as integration, intersectionality, career, tokenism, diversity (is that really the best name?), anti-racism, inclusion, collectivity, belonging, action, dreams for the future, imbalances/inequalities, care/productive work - among other similar and/or emerging issues - will open up space for a debate contextualized in its complex openings and connections.
In fact, by conjoining theory and experience, and welcoming a cast of thinkers and articulators, Perspectiva navigates the produced and the transformed in migratory contexts.
"Perspectiva, B-Side", on the other hand, focuses on the urgencies of contemporaneity entangled with culture, literature and theory. Both columns aim to build bridges that connect paths of coexistence, paths that we know are always under negotiation in migration.
Blog debut
In two weeks' time, Perspectiva first essay will focus on career and family. Its backdrop is the book of the same name by economist Claudia Goldin, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2023. In conversation with feminist perspectives, and based on the delicate relationship linking gender and migration, as well as the rapid changes of an expanding capital like Berlin, our starting point discusses career and family, delving into other unequal relationships that stem from it.
Finally, and whilst seeking a flexibility more than required when debating the dynamics that establish themselves in the course of migratory lives, this our work of re/thinking and re/visiting perspectives desires, above all, to keep alive the reflection of difference in all its various inhabitable worlds. May this journey be both fruitful and interesting Until the next,
