Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es identificar los diferentes tipos de victimización que sufren las niñas, los niños y adolescentes migrantes en Chile en variados ámbitos de su vida y que ocurren de modo simultáneo, cruzando variables de procedencia nacional, territorio, edad y/o sexo-género, a fin de discutir la pertinencia del enfoque de la polivictimización. Se aplicó un cuestionario cuantitativo validado internacionalmente, pero adaptado a la realidad local. La muestra fue de 136 niñas, niños y adolescentes migrantes de seis a 17 años de edad, residentes en las cuatro regiones del país con mayor población migrante. Se concluye que la niñez migrante sufre mayormente victimización indirecta en sus barrios, discriminación y violencia de parte del grupo de pares, a su vez, emergen nuevas áreas, como la violencia institucional y el ámbito familiar. Palabras clave: infancia, migración, polivictimización, discriminación, Chile. Abstract Victimization affects many aspects of the lives of migrant children and adolescents in Chile and can be associated with variables of national origin, territory, age, and sex. The objective of this article is to identify the different types of victimization suffered, often simultaneously, in order to discuss the relevance of the polyvictimization approach. An internationally validated quantitative questionnaire was adapted to the local reality and applied to a sample of 136 migrant children and adolescents aged between six and 17 and resident in the four regions of the country with the largest migrant populations. We conclude that migrant children suffer primarily from indirect victimization within their neighborhoods, along with discrimination and violence from their peers. This is combined with emerging forms of victimization by institutions and within the family.

This presentation examines the role of memory among members of first-generation Chilean emigrants to Australia and Melbourne; more specifically looking at how they adapt to Australian society while they still remain anchored to their home country in soul and spirit. The analysis will be inserted into a memory studies framework, with Ricoeurian theories primarily drawn from. His reflections on nostalgia, memory and belonging are readily applicable to our focus on citizens who fled their country under difficult circumstances, carrying with them wounds that needed healing. And yet, they eventually managed to carve a new space for themselves in a territory far away from their homeland, where they embarked on a new chapter that would leave them forever changed while at the same time they were able to connect with their Chilean motherland in a different way.
