- Description
- This issue is dedicated to the problems of migrations from the point of view of undertaken research in Switserland. Magalie Gafner and Irène Schmidlin analyze the possibilities for migrant women to obtain stable residency status in Switzerland. They argue that the legal provisions have discriminatory effects on women who are not citizens of the EU or EFTA. The number of women migrating to Switzerland from countries outside the European Union has significantly increased in recent years. The feminization of migration has been conceptualized in the literature as an outcome of global economic forces and as the only option for women from low-income countries to solve their material needs. Yvonne Riaño and Nadia Baghdadi argue that this perspective is insufficient to explain female migration. Based on a qualitative analysis of the life stories of twenty women from Latin America, Southeast Europe and the Middle East, they conclude that many factors other than economic hardship shape the decisions of women to migrate. In particular, a desire to achieve gender equality in wider society and at the household level appears to be a strong motivation for migration. In her article Corinne Dallera provides reflections on the condition of women immigrant workers through a presentation of the experiences of three such women since their arrival in Switzerland in the beginning of the 1980s. These intimate reports reveal important aspects of the ways in which gender relations are structured by the discriminatory system that regulates residency for those of foreign nationality and vice versa, with the aim of controlling women immigrants. Dallera also questions the great influence that psycho-culturalism plays in the official approach to the integration of immigrant women in Switzerland. Christine Achermann and Ueli Hochstettler based their paper on research on foreign inmates in two high-security prisons in Switzerland (one for female and the other for male inmates). They look at the prison as a gendered organization and explores how it copes with the growing heterogeneity of the prison population due to global migration and delinquency.

- Description
- In this special about feminist economics Sylvie Morell argues for a better mastery by feminist economists of a specific school of thought in economics. Cristina Carrasco's focus of her paper is on the issue of unpaid care as a social problem, as opposed to a private matter concerning only women, and thereby to promote an open public debate about the utility and equity of this arrangement. Ingrid Robeyns examines how useful Amartya Sen's capability approach for feminist economics is. Céline Schnegg discusses the experience of abortion through medication. Christine Pirinoli sheds light through a historical analysis of Palestinian women's activism on the mechanisms and logics of nationalist discourses that aim to maintain a patriarchal system presented as authentically Palestinian. Patricia Roux, Lavina Gianettoni and Céline Perrin analyze interrelationships between different forms of domination, and more specifically the ways in which relations of domination constructed around the categories of sex and race feed into and mutually reinforce each other.

- Description
- De title of this special refers to an international colloquium organised april 21 2007 at the University of Lausanne. Élise Lemercie demonstrates in her survey that some women create collective positions in the area of intercultural mediation to negotiate autonomy outside the couple and family life. Based on ethnographic research, Caroline Ibos examines in her article the cross-cutting relations between class-based, sexual and racial social categorizations between African nannies and their employers. Articles in magazines deliver an embellished representation of women's obligation to combine family and working life. According to these new 'images d'Épinal' women should be able to respond to a triple challenge: to initiate mutual comprehension within their romantic couple, to increase the social capital of their children, and to reform the working world. Céline Bessière shows that the model of emancipation of younger women through paid work outside the family business is not unambiguous, and that emancipation depends more generally on the social position of the protagonists. Elsa Galerand and Danièle Kergoat take as hypothesis the idea that it is the relation to work, and not work itself, that holds subversive, not to say liberating, potential for women. They insist on the necessity for the feminist movement to put domestic work back at the center of its reflection on work and on the emancipation of women. Working in precarious and isolated situations, undocumented domestic workers in Switzerland manage to endure their tasks, and to commit themselves, arriving at certain forms of fulfillment. Laetitia Dechaufour aims at introducing postcolonial feminism through its main debates and authors. The principal objective of postcolonial feminism is to rethink the oppression of women through the lens of colonization and slavery.
