La evaluación moral cotidiana de los candidatos al estatuto de refugiado en Francia

in the reception centers in france, the moral evaluation of asylum seekers is two-fold: on the one hand, there is a doubt about the truth of the story founding the asylum claim; on the other hand, asylum seekers are judged depending on their everyday attitudes towards the institution and its members. based on a longlasting ethnographic study, the aim of this paper is to explore the representations constructed by social workers and the way they operate in everyday interactions.
