MACEDO, Mônica Medeiros Kother; ROSA, Raíssa Ramos da    FELIN, Mariana Machado. Contemporary displacements: reflections on subject, culture and politics. []. , 22, 54, pp.482-497. ISSN 2175-1390.

This theoretical article explores the theme of contemporary diasporas, identifying and examining elements from different areas of knowledge, which allow us to reveal facets of indifference and cruel pathologization imposed on migrants and refugees. It emphasizes the disregard of the impact and violence arising from social, political and economic factors in the production of precariousness and vulnerability of the migrant and refugee population. The inherent complexity of diasporas is explored through a psychoanalytic reading referring to alteritarian impasses. The urgency of promoting practices of true kindness towards the foreigner is affirmed, thus recovering the double dimension of the definition of the other, that is, the other as the one who is not the Self, but another who shares with the Self the category of similar. In the condition of alteritarian recognition, symmetrical conditions of existence can occur, contemplating, in the recognition of differences, the radical exclusion of violent practices of desubjectivation.
