Transnational child-ship: il minore non accompagnato nella famiglia transnazionale

The article focuses on unaccompanied minors as transnational subjects, main players of their own migration project and agents of relations with their families of origin. The main hypothesis of the work is that this subjectivity is exercised on the one hand through minors’ protagonist in the reproduction of moral, emotional and material family bonds; on the other, through forms of child-ship that are mediated, integrated and declined in the migratory experience also referring to the protection system and its professionals. This hypothesis is supported by secondary data of a broader research on young migrants’ religiosity and the risk of radicalization imple mented in 2018. Eleven unaccompanied minors and twenty-seven reception centres’ professionals have been interviewed in different area of Calabria.
