Abstract
From an intersectional perspective, the situational and inherent vulnerability faced by two young asylum seekers in Catalonia, Spain, were analyzed through case studies that illustrate how these young people navigated within unpredictable and changing environments that hampered their embedded agency. Their settlement as social navigation highlights the temporal dimensions of the migration process. Waiting was also a key element that marked and regulated their settlement from a normative, relational, and existential dimension. The results highlight downward social mobility and precarious integration into the host society due to institutional, structural, and socio-cultural constraints.
Keywords:
- young asylum seekers,
- intersectional discrimination,
- intersectional vulnerability,
- social navigation,
- embedded agency,
- downward social mobility
Résumé
D’un point de vue intersectionnel, nous avons analysé la vulnérabilité situationnelle et inhérente à deux jeunes demandeurs d’asile en Catalogne (Espagne) grâce à des études de cas qui illustrent comment ces jeunes ont navigué dans des environnements imprévisibles et changeants qui ont influencé leur agence intégrée. Leur implantation en tant que navigation sociale met en évidence les dimensions temporelles du processus migratoire. L’attente est aussi un élément clé qui a marqué et réglé leur règlement d’une dimension normative, relationnelle et existentielle. Les résultats mettent en évidence une mobilité sociale à la baisse et une intégration précaire dans la société d’accueil en raison de contraintes institutionnelles, structurelles et socioculturelles.
Mots-clés :
- jeunes demandeurs d'asile,
- discrimination intersectionelle et vulnérabilité intersectionelle,
- navigation sociale,
- agence intégrée,
- mobilité sociale à la baisse
