Abstract [en]

This dissertation investigates how the vision of the linguistic reality influences asylum seekers and refugees inclusion policies with attention on attitudes, prejudices and phenomena of "banal nationalism" and "banal colonialism" related to languages. By focusing on micro- level actors, i.e. people who carry out the activity of reception of asylum seekers and refugees and their linguistic ideologies and attitudes, the research wants to add some epistemological reflections form the sociology of language to the study of political science and to contribute to reanalyse some of the conditions that can help implement successful inclusion policies. The research is oriented towards the ideologies and "taken for granted" ideas on language that influence general integration and inclusion policies, with an eye on its repercussion on general political issues like human rights or democracy. The theoretical background has its roots on the recent literature about linguistic justice and language rights as human rights and has been applied through a qualitative comparative field research in Rome and Stockholm. 

Abstract [it]

Questa tesi indaga il modo in cui la visione della realtà linguistica influenzi le politiche di inclusione dei richiedenti asilo e dei rifugiati, con attenzione agli atteggiamenti, ai pregiudizi e ai fenomeni di "banal nationalism" e "banal colonialism" legati alle lingue. Concentrandosi sugli attori di micro-livello, cioè sulle persone che svolgono l'attività di accoglienza di richiedenti asilo e rifugiati e sulle loro ideologie e atteggiamenti linguistici, la ricerca vuole apportare alcune riflessioni epistemologiche della sociologia del linguaggio allo studio delle scienze politiche e contribuire a rianalizzare alcune delle condizioni che possono aiutare a implementare politiche di inclusione di successo. La ricerca pone attenzione alle ideologie e alle idee "date per scontate" sulla lingua che influenzano le politiche generali di integrazione e inclusione, con un occhio alle ripercussioni su questioni politiche generali come i diritti umani o la democrazia. Il background teorico affonda le sue radici nella recente letteratura sulla giustizia linguistica e sui diritti linguistici in quanto diritti umani ed è stato empiricamente applicato attraverso una ricerca qualitativa comparativa sul campo a Roma e Stoccolma.
