Abstract
The paper aims to contribute to the theme of “hate speeches” with a methodological proposal focused on the employability of methods that become – according this approach – promoters of social change. The idea is that through storytelling and biographical interview we can produce counter-narratives to oppose the hate speeches against migrants, the privileged target of many campaigns meant to promote hostility, intolerance and prejudice. The circularity of methods, made possible by the Evaluative and Action Research, makes it possible to connect the global sphere with local actions, promoting a “glocal dialogue” able to build “bridges” between cultures. The aim is to tell the story of migratory processes as bridges between the macro and micro-structural aspects of the culture of origin and reception. The increase in the number of people forced to migrate for reasons related to global climate change poses a problem of “peaceful coexistence between peoples”, for which the social sciences must ask themselves what approach to take with one of the most important “challenges of time”. This work is organized in two parts: in the first we review the “state of art” providing a definition of the phenomenon; in the second we highlight the link between environmental crisis and migrations, before putting forward the methodological proposal mentioned above.
