PRECARIOUS LIFE OF IMMIGRANTS: FEAR AND INSECURITY

Summary/Abstract: According to Bauman, in his “Liquid love”, the refugees have become the epitome of that extraterritoriality in which is rooted today's precariousness of the human condition, the primary cause of the fears and anxieties of modern man. Fears and anxieties that create a popular feeling of anger and fear towards refugees. The situation of refugee comprises in an extremist form the characteristics of the liquid-modern life, such as the permanence of transience, the failure to define a social role, the social-political vacuum in which they live. The pedagogy needs to rethink with new categories the processes of globalization and, above all, to reconsider how the principles of democracy and freedom can now be implemented in a world that have no longer certainties and dimensions of territorial national states.
