This MA thesis presents the results of an investigation about the Hispanic Americans in Prague. Relying on a transnationalist theoretical approach, this research presents an empirical description about the existing ties between the transmigrants and their city of residence, analyzing the migration networks and the transnational practices that arise during the migratory experience. We wish to demonstrate the measure in which the transnational migration is going to foment the exchange of symbolic goods between the country of origin and the country of reception of the transmigrant, and how this exchange is often triggered by the feeling of nostalgia that is frequently associated with the transmigrants experience. To approach these problems in the thesis we focus on the portrait of the migration networks, and on various strategies adopted by migrants from Latin America. Thus we are able to discover the transnational practices of migrants, their integration strategies, and the tools which facilitate to keep the contact with their homeland, and native civilization/culture. The exchange of symbolic goods is one of the very important instruments. We discover them through the testimonies of the transmigrants, which constitute the frame of this investigation, and function as a window on the nature of the...

Cette thèse se concentre sur les développements de la société juive belge dans la période avant 1940. La communauté juive belge, telle qu'elle s'est développée au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles, est le résultat d'une succession de "vagues migratoires juives". Contrairement aux autres communautés juives d'Europe occidentale comme celles de France, d'Allemagne, de Grande-Bretagne ou des Pays-Bas, la population juive belge n'avait pas de racines historiques fortes ni de tradition historique établie. Un premier " mouvement de migration juif " (1815-1880) a créé les bases du Judaïsme Consistorial belge. Ces migrants juifs de France, des Pays-Bas et d'Allemagne se sont installés en Belgique et ont créés les fondations institutionnelles du Judaïsme belge. Les élites du Consistoire, partisanes de l'acculturation du rite et de la culture juifs à la société européenne non juive, ont préconisé une intégration profonde de la population juive et ont refusé toute forme de particularisme juif en dehors de la sphère religieuse. Cette idéologie patriotique restera la pierre angulaire d'une petite population juive bien intégrée, estimée à environ 4 000 personnes en 1880. Jusqu'à une bonne partie du XXe siècle, ce petit groupe de "juifs belges" restera le "gardien" de la communauté religieuse juive officielle de la capitale, la Communauté Israélite de Bruxelles.Une nouvelle vague d'immigrants juifs à la fin XIXe siècle pousse la trajectoire historique de la communauté juive belge dans de nouvelles directions et va entraîner une énorme diversification de la société juive belge. A partir des années 1880 et surtout après 1906, des milliers d'immigrants juifs d'Europe de l'Est s'installent en Belgique, attirés par les opportunités économiques ou comme " escale temporaire " sur leur chemin vers l'Amérique. Ce processus s'est répété après la Première Guerre mondiale, lorsque le mouvement d'émigration des Juifs d'Europe de l'Est a repris après la fin de la guerre. Le "premier" (1982-1914) et le "second" (1914-1930) mouvement migratoire juif d'Europe de l'Est a entraîné une croissance énorme de la population juive belge. En 1930, la population juive en Belgique était estimée à environ 50.000 personnes.L'arrivée de migrants juifs d'Europe de l'Est a entraîné une transformation radicale de la société juive belge. De nouvelles formes de religiosité juive, de nouvelles visions culturelles et politiques ont émergé. Une " classe ouvrière " juive urbaine s'est installée dans des métiers artisanaux semi-industriels tels que l'industrie du diamant, ou a trouvé du travail dans des emplois flexibles et mal payés dans l'industrie de l'habillement et dans diverses branches de l'industrie du cuir, souvent dans de petites entreprises dirigées par leurs coreligionnaires déjà établis. Des partis ouvriers juifs et un "mouvement syndical" juif ont tenté d'organiser ces "masses juives", de défendre leurs intérêts, de les intégrer dans le mouvement ouvrier belge et de promouvoir de nouvelles formes d'identité juive laïque. Un fort mouvement national juif a tenté d'élever le sionisme et le projet national juif en Palestine au rang de point d'ancrage d'une nouvelle identité juive, mais il s'est heurté à la résistance à la fois du "Judaïsme belge" établi, de la forte section juive du parti communiste belge et d'une grande partie de l'orthodoxie religieuse juive. Néanmoins, au cours des quatre décennies qui ont précédé le déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le sionisme a gagné en importance. Toutes ces différentes tendances au sein de la société juive belge ont tenté de gagner de l'influence et de l'autorité dans la rue juive ou dans les institutions officielles du Judaïsme belge. Avec l'installation des immigrants juifs d'Europe de l'Est, le difficile processus d'intégration dans la société belge a également commencé. Leur bagage idéologique, transplanté du monde juif d'Europe de l'Est, a été progressivement adapté et configuré pour apporter des réponses aux circonstances et défis spécifiques rencontrés par la communauté juive en Belgique. La crise économique des années 1930, la montée du national-socialisme en Allemagne et l'émergence concomitante d'un antisémitisme local organisé dans la société belge dans la seconde moitié des années 1930 ont secoué la société juive. L'appauvrissement croissant de larges pans de la population juive, combiné à l'afflux de milliers de réfugiés juifs d'Allemagne et d'Autriche, a fait exploser les contradictions au sein de la communauté juive.Ce sont ces processus de formation de l'identité juive "belge" et la manière dont les différents acteurs de la communauté juive ont réagi à des événements historiques spécifiques de la première moitié du vingtième siècle que cette thèse explore. / Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

This study explores the relationship between emigration and cholera in British North American port towns, between 1832 and 1866. It focuses specifically on three established and growing port towns located directly off of the Atlantic Ocean – St. John's, Newfoundland, Halifax, Nova Scotia and Saint John, New Brunswick. The pressures of mass immigration from the British Isles, the transmission of highly-feared diseases from emigrant and cargo ships to port towns in British North America, and the dependence, vulnerability and constraints felt by colonial governments and their citizens are three important themes that emerge and are continually challenged throughout this dissertation. This thesis presents the way in which colonial port towns managed the recurrent and unpredictable threats to their health, wellbeing and prosperity during this period, and highlights the increasing strain and growing dislocation felt by British North Americans under colonial rule. The history of cholera in Canada has focused overwhelmingly on Upper and Lower Canada, with little exploration or comparative analysis of the outbreaks in the Atlantic region. The following research examines the interconnected, complex and at times distant relationship between Britain and its North American colonies, under the influence of emigration and transmission of disease from coloniser to colonised. High points of calamity and upheaval clarified the extent to which the colonies were responsible for themselves, forcing many towns to re-evaluate their ability to control emergencies on their soil, with or without the help of the mother country. This study contributes not only to the historical understanding how cholera was managed in British North American ports, but it also provides a unique perspective on understanding the greater struggles of nineteenth-century colonial life.

This paper seeks to provide a differently look on such expressive phenomenon, directing the analysis for the children of immigrants, who emigrated during the eighties and nineties. Those young immigrants were born in the United States or migrated still very young and did much of their basic education abroad. To conduct the study, five interviews were collected between January and March 2009. We interviewed three boys and two girls between 16 and 25, who emigrated with a maximum of 15 years or were born in the United States. The first chapter deals with the city and its historical relationship with international migration, the similarities and differences between the old and new migratory flows and an introduction to the trajectory of the young immigrants. The second chapter begins with an analysis on the concepts of youth and generation; attempts to focus on young migrant acting and expressing itself in various ways - mediating the language spoken at home with parents, and the language spoken with friends, building and rebuilding what are their feelings and memories of Brazil and about the family's past, encouraging and or disapproving the values obtained at school, with friends and with the society that surrounds them. The conclusion deals with dreams, plans and expectations of these young people for an often uncertain future. This paper seeks to understand the historical process and the socioeconomic and cultural phenomenon of modern immigration, trying to discover the dynamics of identity formation, language and specific peculiarities of living between two worlds and thus provide new insights that will serve as a dialogue for other studies from the fields of History of Time Present and History of Migration, which target the second generation of Brazilian immigrants / A migração de indivíduos provenientes da cidade de Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, para os Estados Unidos é um fenômeno social que têm despertado o interesse da comunidade acadêmica, principalmente a partir da década de 1980. Este trabalho busca lançar um olhar diferente sobre esse fenômeno tão expressivo, direcionando a análise para aos filhos dos imigrantes valadarenses. Estes são jovens que nasceram nos Estados Unidos ou migraram ainda muito novos, no final da década de 1990 ou nos primeiros anos do século XXI, e fizeram boa parte da sua educação básica no exterior. Para a realização da pesquisa, foram coletadas cinco entrevistas entre os meses de janeiro e março de 2009. Foram entrevistados três rapazes e duas moças entre 16 e 25 anos, que emigraram com no máximo quinze anos ou nasceram nos Estados Unidos. O primeiro capítulo trata da definição do que é um imigrante e dos tipos de migração, introduz a trajetória dos entrevistados, as semelhanças e diferenças entre os antigos e os novos fluxos migratórios e uma reflexão sobre a cidade de Governador Valadares e de sua relação histórica com a migração internacional. O segundo capítulo procura debater os conceitos de geração e juventude, focando os jovens migrantes agindo e expressando-se de diversas formas: mediando a língua falada em casa junto aos pais, com os amigos, as atividades de lazer, festas e namoros; construindo e reconstruindo impressões sobre o Brasil e sobre o passado da família; incentivando e/ou reprovando os valores adquiridos na escola; enfrentando os desafios de conciliar os estudos com o mundo do trabalho, tão presente na vida dos imigrantes brasileiros. Por fim, aborda os sonhos, planos e as expectativas destes jovens para um futuro muitas vezes incerto. Assim, este trabalho procura compreender o processo histórico e os fatores socioeconômicos e culturais do fenômeno da migração moderna, procurando desvendar as dinâmicas da formação identitária, da linguagem específica e das peculiaridades da vida entre dois mundos, fornecendo assim, novos olhares que servirão como diálogo para outros estudos dos campos da História do Tempo Presente e História das Migrações que tenham como alvo a segunda geração de imigrantes brasileiros

Em toda a região, tornaram-se intermediários no circuito comercial, então em plena ascenção, que fazia chegar as matérias-primas da região à indústria européia e os bens de consumo produzidos na Europa àquele que era um novo mercado. Concomitantemente à expansão do comércio externo na região, deu-se a intensificação da presença militar e administrativa dos Estados imperiais europeus ali e no resto do continente africano. Com o contexto global e regional sempre em perspectiva, esta dissertação apresenta uma investigação sobre o processo de estabelecimento de migrantes sírio-libaneses na Guiné Portuguesa (atual Guiné-Bissau), concentrando-se nos anos correspondentes ao primeiro período republicano em Portugal, entre 1910 e 1926. O tema é abordado através da análise de documentos produzidos no contexto da administração colonial portuguesa no território, material que nos permitiu construir uma interpretação sobre este processo em que a ambigüidade da condição de estrangeiro é o elemento central. / Abstract: Between the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, in the context of their great migration, a few thousand Syrian-Lebanese travelled to and settled in West Africa. All over the region they became middlemen in a then growing trade circuit that carried local produce to the European industry and European manufactures to that new market. Concomitant to the expansion of external trade in the region was the intensification of imperial European states' military and administrative presence there and in the rest of the African continent. With the global and regional contexts constantly in the horizon, this dissertation presents a survey of the settlement process of Syrian-Lebanese migrants in Portuguese Guinea (present Guinea- Bissau), focusing the years of the first Portuguese republican period, between 1910 and 1926. The theme is approached through the analysis of written documents produced in the context of the Portuguese colonial administration in the territory. The material allows of an interpretation of the process in which the ambiguity of the condition of stranger plays a central role. / Mestrado / Cultura e Poder / Mestre em Antropologia Social

La thèse a pour objet l'émancipation des femmes issues de l'immigration. Elle propose d'évaluer les effets de la migration et de l'accès au marché du travail sur l'émancipation des filles de migrantes d'origine marocaine en Belgique francophone. L'étude tente d'abord de mettre en lumière le rôle des femmes immigrées dans l'histoire de la Belgique en le ré-articulant à l'histoire sociale, l'histoire des femmes et l'histoire de l'immigration. Ensuite, elle montre que l'approche dominante des travaux sur les migrations ne prend pas en compte la dimension du genre, ce qui a pour conséquence de masquer la différenciation des expériences migratoires selon le sexe. Enfin, elle replace l'analyse du statut des femmes immigrées et de leurs descendantes dans la complexité des rapports sociaux de sexe, de race et de classe afin de mieux rendre compte des réalités concrètes et de sortir du simplisme des approches culturalistes. La thèse développe une analyse des politiques d'intégration (politiques éducative, de l'emploi et de lutte contre les discriminations) visant l'émancipation des immigrées et en évalue l'impact sur les filles de migrant-es d'origine marocaine. Elle présente enfin les trajectoires individuelles des filles de migrant.es marocain.es et examine les facteurs individuels et collectifs favorisant leur émancipation.
