Authors:

This paper describes the quality control (QC) processes for a large-scale digital migration project conducted by österreichischer Rundfunk, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. It provides an overview of the initial requirements and the motivation for introducing an additional, independent QC layer, and describes the implementation process as well as the actual service itself. It draws on first-hand experience to provide a detailed introduction to the technology used for the task. The examples presented and the conclusions drawn provide the reader with the information they need for their own preservation and migration projects.

Evolution of the Mexico-U.S. Migration System: Insights from the Mexican Migration Project

July 2019 · The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science

Since 1987, the Mexican Migration Project (MMP) has collected and disseminated representative survey data on documented and undocumented migration to the United States. The MMP currently includes surveys of 161 communities, which together contain data on 27,113 households and 169,945 individuals, 26,446 of whom have U.S. migratory experience. These data are used here to trace the evolution of the ... [Show full abstract] Mexico-U.S. migration system from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, revealing how shifts in U.S. immigration and border policies have been critical to the formation of different eras of migration characterized by distinctive patterns of migration, settlement, and return in different legal statuses. The current era is characterized by the repression of the large population of undocumented migrants and their U.S. citizen children by an ongoing regime of mass detention and deportation and the simultaneous recruitment of Mexican workers for exploitation on short-term temporary visas. As the dynamics of Mexican migration to the United States continue to change, they will be monitored and analyzed in subsequent waves of data collection by the MMP.

This article examines a British migration project – which sent select children to colonial Southern Rhodesia between 1946 and 1962 – in order to analyse dissonant temporalities in projects of social engineering. The article focuses on three of the several complex and at times incompatible temporalities animated and juxtaposed by the project. First, it discusses ‘imperial infinity’ as the ... [Show full abstract] political temporality that framed the project. As ‘imperial investments’, the children were a means to securing colonial continuity well beyond project time. Second, it considers how temporal logics of social projects presuppose a rupture with the past, foregrounding their rationale of futurity. Finally, the article examines the sense of time of the migrant child placed in an institution, highlighting its clockwork discipline and spatiotemporal standstill. Through this case, the article reflects on antagonistic temporalities within social projects, as well as their long-lasting political repercussions. Résumé Cet article examine un projet britannique de migration − l'envoi des enfants triés sur le volet en Rhodésie coloniale du sud de 1946 à 1962 − afin d'analyser des temporalités dissonantes dans les projets d'ingénierie sociale. L'article focalise sur trois temporalités complexes et parfois incompatibles qui sont animées et juxtaposées par le projet. Premièrement, nous abordons ‘l'infinité impériale’ comme la temporalité politique qui a encadré le projet. Les enfants, considérés comme des ‘investissements impériales’, ont servi à sécuriser la continuité coloniale au-delà du temps prescrit pour le projet. Deuxièmement, nous examinons comment la logique temporale de projets sociaux présuppose une rupture avec le passé, pour mettre en avant leur logique d'avenir. En guise de conclusion, nous considérons le sens du temps chez l'enfant migrant, placé dans un établissement, pour souligner le discipline mécanique et l'arrêt spatio-temporel. Au travers ce cas d’étude, nous réfléchissons sur des temporalités antagonistes au cœur des projets sociaux ainsi que leurs répercussions politiques durables.
