| Abstract: |
This interview conducted with Imed Soltani and Federica Sossi centres on the struggle of the families of Tunisian missing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. The campaign, named “From One Shore to the Other: Lives that Matter”, started in 2011 in the aftermath of the outbreak of the Tunisian revolution. Through this campaign, the families of the missing migrants and activists of theItalian feminist collective Le Venticinqueundici demanded at Italian and Tunisian institutions be held accountable for the disappearance of young Tunisian migrants who crossed the Mediterranean to Italy. The unique character of this struggle is that it took place across the two shores of the Mediterranean.. The conversation between Soltani and Sossi illustrates the strengths of the campaign and the difficulties that arose in running it across shores, and offers a theoretical insight into the notion of political recognition in an effort to decolonize the gaze on what counts as political subjectivity and political struggle. |
