Antigas porque há um persistente fluxo de estudantes brasileiros que se volta às instituições francesas de ensino, graças à presença de relações históricas entre o Brasil e a França consolidadas nesse âmbito. No entanto, como parte das migrações internacionais contemporâneas, verifica-se também a presença de novas modalidades migratórias no recente fluxo de brasileiros para a França, deslocamentos que acompanham às transformações sociais advindas com a intensificação da chamada globalização e toda a dinâmica associada, nesse cenário, à diminuição das distâncias e à crescente mobilidade humana. Como se argumenta na tese, o uso das modalidades migratórias na análise permitiu a reconstrução dos processos sociais que engendram os fluxos, ao mesmo tempo em que contemplou a incorporação dos diferentes interesses e estratégias dos migrantes e das repercussões correspondentes nas formas de instalação na sociedade de destino. Se o nível de autonomia e de coação que os agentes experimentam não é idêntico entre os diferentes perfis de migrantes, consequentemente as práticas e os mecanismos envolvidos no projeto e na realização da migração conjugam essas especificidades / Abstract: Brazilian immigration in France after 1980 was analyzed here with regard to the heterogeneity of the modalities that make this flow, whose dynamics reveal the concomitant presence of "old" and "new" migratory logics. Old because there is a persistent flow of brazilian students that turns itself to French learning institutions, thanks to the existence of historical links between Brazil and France within that circle. However, as a part of contemporary international migrations, there are also new migratory modalities in the recent flow of Brazilians to France, displacements that go hand in hand with the social transformations resulting from the intensification of the so-called globalization and from all dynamics associated to the diminishing distances and growing human mobility in that backdrop. As it is stated in the thesis, the use of migratory modalities in the analysis has allowed the rebuilding of the social processes that bring those flows, contemplating, at the same time, the incorporation of different interests and strategies of the migrants, as well as the corresponding repercussions in the ways of installation in destination societies. If the levels of autonomy and coercion that the agents experience aren't identical in the different profiles of migrants, consequently, the practices and the mechanisms involved in the planning and execution of the migration include these features / Doutorado / Sociologia / Doutora em Sociologia

Documentation of the extent of Latvian immigration to Brazil and to the urban centre of São Paulo between 1890 and 1970 and evidence of the degree of Latvian-Brazilian assimilation are non-existent. This thesis fulfills a need for investigating the displacement of the Latvian ethnic society into an unfamiliar geographical, social and cultural Brazilian environment. Both Latvia and Brazil are discussed in terms of geography and climate, origins of civilization and language, cultural heritage and social structure. The cosmopolitan nature of São Paulo is introduced. The reasons for Latvian migration and statistical information regarding Brazilian immigrant policy and numbers of immigrants are derived from census data, church records and archival material. A Lutheran church record case study is also documented as supporting material, and estimates are established from a wide variety of reported statistical information concerning Latvians in Brazil. Latvian religious subdivisions form the basis for tracing the São Paulo community development and extent of Latvian-Brazilian assimilation. General aspects of assimilation in Brazil are applied to the Latvian community with detailed discussion of cultural and social integration including intermarriage and language, customs and environment. Conclusions are drawn from the extent of Latvian influence within the Brazilian society and the reciprocal but stronger Brazilian contribution to the Latvian heritage. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate
