Universal history has been marked by migratory circuits, determining the world's demography as well as the social history of populations by cultural and technological loans. Migrants are influential agents of socio-cultural and political change both in their society of origin and that of destination. In the current global era, democracies appear to be leading away from universal rights - the progressive political overrepresentation of parties from the "right" political sphere in Europe and America accentuates a whole series of legal measures against international immigration. In this session, we invite researchers to participate with presentations that strive to spark new dialogues and to analyse current and new contemporary migratory tendencies, including but not limited to recent themes of transnational migrations such as social rights, feminine migration, political-environmental migration, technological migration and so forth.
