Invisibilidad y problema de identidad de los migrantes en el mundo contemporáneo

Abstract

This article analyzes the problem of the exclusion of the “illegal” immigrants who are used as a the low-cost labor from the possibility of creating their own authentic identity. I propose the term “triple exclusion” to describe the exclusion that prevent the “undocumented” immigrants from the identity construction
and implies the exclusion from the public sphere, from the consumption and from the nationalist myth. I reflect about the deconstruction of the nationalist ideas, showing their fictitious character. To conclude, I show the possibilities of Hannah Arendt public sphere theory to construct the “soft” identity.
