Jak se stát opravdovým Italem? Úsilí potomků imigrantů o změnu italského zákona o občanství. / How Does One Become a True Italian? The Struggle of Second Generation Immigrants to Change the Italian Citizenship Law.

Fejerová, Eva January 2014 (has links)
This diploma thesis aims to examine the phenomenon of second-generation immigrant associations in Italy and focuses on their efforts to change the 1992 Citizenship Law between 2005 and 2014. The goal of the thesis is to determine whether the style of their argumentation is nationalistic or multicultural. The nationalistic style would point to their identification with Italy as a classical nation state, reflecting an acceptance of Italy's autostereotypes. The multicultural argumentation style would show that their primary frame of reference is the culture of their parents' country of origin and reflect a desire to see Italian society transformed according to multicultural principles, where all cultures are equally respected and esteemed. Christian Joppke's theory of three-dimensional citizenship (status, rights, identity) serves as an instrument for research. Anne-Marie Thiesse's national identity checklist serves as a guideline for distinguishing between nationalistic and post-nationalistic argumentation style. The analysis shows that the dimension these associations refer to the most is identity, which they use to prove their "Italianicity." They conduct their argumentation in a very classical nationalistic style, using themes such as Italian language, national territory, and national cuisine....

Vad har jag för identitet egentligen? : En kvalitativ studie om hur det är att leva med dubbla kulturtillhörigheter hosandra generationens invandrare med kinesiskt ursprung

Hermez, Sandra, Huang, Elin January 2022 (has links)
Second-generation immigrants have attested to different experiences they encountered during their upbringing, which were marked by two cultural affiliations. They are regularlyre minded by society that they are not real "Swedes" even though they are born and raised in Sweden in the same way as their Swedish friends. The study aims to examine the second generation of Chinese in Sweden and gain a deeper understanding of their experiences of having dual cultural affiliations, one of which is internalized from home and the other originates from society. The study also aims to examine how second-generation Chinese people identify with their environment and cultural groups and how their ethnic identity is shaped and changed based on their cultural affiliations. Previous research within this subject has studied other ethnic groups of second-generation immigrants abroad and come to conclusions that have contributed to an understanding of our study. This study, which is based on six qualitative semi-structured interviews with second-generation Chinese between the ages 22-34, has been analyzed based on a the oretical framework consisting of Goffman'sdramaturgical perspective, Bourdieu's theory of habitus and Jenkin's theory of social identity.The results show three experiences linked to dual cultural affiliations amongsecond-generation Chinese: cultural clash, feeling ashamed of their heritage culture and in-betweenship. Furthermore, the study shows that individuals adapt to the different culturalcontext in which they find themselves and that their ethnic identity is shaped by different factors that result in them having different identities. The study shows that they have gone from being insecure about their ethnic identity to feeling proud of it. / Andra generationens invandrare har vittnat om olika upplevelser som de stött på under sin uppväxt som präglats av två kulturtillhörigheter. De blir regelbundet påminda av samhället att de inte är riktiga “svenskar” trots att de är födda och uppväxta i Sverige på samma sätt som sina svenska vänner. Studien syftar till att undersöka andra generationens invandrare i Sverige med kinesiskt ursprung och få en djupare förståelse för deras upplevelser av att ha dubbla kulturtillhörigheter, varav den ena är internaliserad från hemmet och den andra har sitt ursprung från samhället. Studien avser även att undersöka hur andra generationens invandrare med kinesiskt ursprung förhåller sig till sin omgivning och sina kulturella grupper samt hur deras etniska identitet formas och förändras utifrån sina kulturtillhörigheter. Tidigare forskning inom ämnesområdet har studerat andra folkgrupper av andra generationens invandrare utomlands och kommit med slutsatser som bidragit till en förståelse för vår studie. Denna studie som baseras på sex kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med andra generationens invandrare med kinesiskt ursprung i åldrarna 22–34 år har analyserats utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv, Bourdieus teori om habitus och Jenkins teori om social identitet. Resultatet visar tre upplevelser kopplat till dubbla kulturtillhörigheter hos andra generationens invandrare med kinesiskt ursprung:kulturkrock, känna skam över sin arvskultur och mellanförskap. Vidare visar studien attindividerna anpassar sig till de olika kulturella kontexterna de befinner sig i och att deras etniska identitet formas av olika faktorer som resulterar i att de får olika identiteter. Studien visar att de har gått från att vara osäkra på sin etniska identitet till att känna sig stolta överden.

Social media effects on diaspora tourism : A case study on second generation of Iranian immigrants in Stockholm

Izadi, Paria January 2020 (has links)
The impact of social media in tourism industry is significant. This study examines the role, impact, and relationship of social media platforms among second generation Iranian Swedish in Stockholm as a segment of tourism market when travelling to Iran. In addition, the purpose of this study is to explore if social media has a motivational role for diaspora tourism on second generation of immigrants’ trip to their origin country. The study uses content analysis and online questionnaire to collect data of 22 second generation Iranian diaspora who have traveled to Iran at least once during their lifetime. Three themes were identified from the collected qualitative answers based on the objectives of the research: Iranian diaspora motivations to visit homeland, feelings, and traveler experience by social media. Findings demonstrate the social media platforms are working as a motivation-pull factor influencing second generation immigrants to visit Iran, in much the same as other pull factors do. Also, the results show the User Generated Contents (UGC) such as travelers generated reliable travel information and introduction of new destinations can persuade second generation of diaspora immigrants to go back to their origin country for another visit. Finally, the findings of this research have revealed that two outcomes of trip to Iran by second generation of Iranian immigrants are Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) and visiting tourism attractions. Such outcomes can highly affect the diaspora members’ decisions in planning their travel to their origin country.

Acculturation, Identity Formation, and Mental Health-Related Issues Among Young Adult Ethiopian Immigrants

Wolde, Sam A. 01 January 2017 (has links)
Immigration is a contributing factor to population growth in the United States. Ethiopian immigrants who are residing in the United States constitute the second-largest African immigrant group next to Nigeria. The effect of immigrants' identity formation and acculturation process on their social and emotional wellness has drawn behavioral and social scientists' attention. Still, limited research has been devoted to exploring Ethiopian immigrants' acculturation and identity formation processes and how these processes shape 1.5- and second-generation immigrants' perceptions of mental health-related issues. This phenomenological study explored identity formation, acculturation processes, and mental health beliefs in 1.5- and second-generation Ethiopian immigrants. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants. Inductive analysis was used to determine the emergence of 4 themes: (a) participants' acculturation struggle, (b) ethnic identity challenges, (c) protective factors that helped participants to sustain and overcome the challenges and difficulties they faced through the acculturation and identity formation processes, and (d) heritage-based mental health perceptions. These findings have the potential to generate multicultural awareness among immigrants' parents, social workers, educators, policy makers, and mental health providers regarding the challenges young immigrants encounter during the acculturation and ethnic identity formation processes

“I Belong Nowhere”:Identity Construction and Othering Experience of Second-Generation Immigrants in Japan

Ohata, Sota January 2023 (has links)
The increase in international mobility driven by globalization has led to a profound impact on education worldwide, as evidenced by a 26% rise in the number of school-aged children with migrant and refugee backgrounds since 2000. This global trend has presented challenges for educational institutions in both countries with traditionally high immigrant populations and those previously considered homogeneous. Japan has long been regarded as a culturally homogeneous society. However, due to an aging society and labor shortages, the country has witnessed a surge in immigration and increased cultural diversity. Nevertheless, the current education systems in Japan are not designed to accommodate this diversity, resulting in the marginalization of minority groups within school settings. In response to this issue, this study utilized a biographical approach to investigate the lived experiences of seven second-generation immigrants (SGIs) in Japan. By employing thematic analysis, a comparative analysis of the collected life stories was conducted. The findings underscore the prevalence of various forms of “Othering” within educational institutions and society at large. As a result of Othering, SGIs often find themselves occupying a liminal space where dual ethnic identities develop concurrently, leading to a simultaneous sense of belonging and otherness. Additionally, the results revealed instances of agency among SGIs, wherein they embraced their ethnic minority status as a means of positive self-positioning, distanced themselves from certain ethnic minority group categorizations, or refused any social categories. This research provides valuable insights into the complexities of Japanese migration society, shedding light on the prevailing Othering practices and the strategies employed by SGIs in navigating their identity construction in response to Othering phenomena.

Identity-building process among Second-Generation Migrants from former Yugoslavia living in Sweden.

Scibisz, Paulina Zofia January 2022 (has links)
This study discusses the process of identity-building among second-generation migrants from former Yugoslavia, living in the Southern Region of Sweden, Skåne. The findings of this study have shown that respondents' identity construction is fluid and depends on many factors that influence it, which vary from one individual to another. For instance, language, culture, values, norms, how individuals were raised and where they were born. Moreover, depending on the individuals' experiences and personal choice. Some individuals maintain and reproduce their identity by using the parent’s mother tongue to speak with their family at home and maintain the culture by making Serbian/Bosnian food and choosing to listen to Yugoslavian music. I found that some individuals born in former Yugoslavia feel belongingness to Sweden, where they grew up and were raised instead of where they were born. The feeling of belonging differed from one respondent to the other. Some respondents showed their sense of belonging through feelings and emotions they have attached to the country they were raised in (Sweden). They have established bonds that make them see their belonging to Sweden as necessary. Others attributed their belonging to their environment, place where they were born, or parent's country of origin.

Assimilation Over the Life Course? / Early Labour Market Careers of Second-Generation Turks in Germany

Hartmann, Jörg 12 May 2016 (has links)
In den letzten Jahren werden die Themen Migration und Integration vermehrt diskutiert in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit und mit der steigenden Anzahl an Einwanderern steigt der Wert wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse zu diesen Themen. Die Erkenntnisse von Integrationsforschern in die zeitlichen Abläufe von Integration sind jedoch begrenzt, da Theorien zur Integration überwiegend intergenerationale Integration thematisieren und ihnen ein konkretes Verständnis der zeitlichen Dimensionen von Integration und ihrer Mechanismen fehlt. In dieser Dissertation argumentiere ich, dass der Lebensverlauf eine zusätzliche und kritische zeitliche Dimension von Integration darstellt. Damit verbunden ist eine Kritik gängiger Assimilationstheorien für ihren Fokus auf intergenerationale Mechanismen von Integration und für das Fehlen einer systematischen Betrachtung der Lebensverläufe von Migranten. In diesem Sinn möchte die Dissertation zeigen, das die Nichtbeachtung der Lebensläufe von Migranten einen konzeptuellen Schwachpunkt der Assimilationstheorien darstellt, welcher wichtige zeitliche Integrationsprozesse und -mechanismen verschleiert. Die Dissertation untermauert diese Argumente theoretisch und empirisch. Der erste Teil der Dissertation diskutiert Assimilationstheorien und zeigt, wie eine Lebensverlaufperspektive ein detaillierteres und adäquateres Verständnis der zeitlichen Integrationsprozesse und -mechanismen bietet. Dieser Teil schließt mit den Schlussfolgerungen, dass Integration oder Segmentation über den Lebenslauf von Migranten erfolgt, dass Lebenslaufprinzipien wie “Linked Lives” oder Endogene Kausalität adäquate Instrumente darstellen, diese Entwicklungen zu verstehen, und dass die Lebensläufe der Eltern einen Einfluss auf die Lebenschancen der nächsten Generation haben. Der Hauptteil der Dissertation möchte die Fruchtbarkeit einer Lebenslaufperspektive für Studien zur Integration von Migranten empirisch untermauern. Zu diesem Zweck werden drei empirische Studien zur Arbeitsmarktintegration im Lebensverlauf der zweiten türkischen Einwanderergeneration in Deutschland präsentiert. Die erste Studie untersucht, ob die zweite türkische Einwanderergeneration in ähnlichem Ausmaß stabile Mittelschichtkarrieren verfolgt wie autochthone Deutsche. Damit wird eine zuverlässigere Antwort zu dieser Frage präsentiert als sie herkömmliche Querschnittstudien bieten können, welche Arbeitsmarktintegration zu einem Zeitpunkt im Lebenslauf untersuchen. Die Studie zeigt, dass die zweite Generation türkischer Einwanderer größere Probleme hat als autochthone Deutsche, eine stabile Mittelschichtkarriere zu verfolgen. Dies gilt insbesondere  für Frauen der zweiten türkischen Einwanderergeneration. Dazu tragen vor allem ihr geringeres aufnahmelandspezifisches Kapital wie Bildung und Sprachfähigkeiten bei. Die zweite Studie untersucht die Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensmobilität von Männern der zweiten türkischen Migrantengeneration sowie deren Verlauf über die frühe Erwerbskarriere. Dabei zeigt sich, dass diese Gruppe größere Arbeitslosigkeits- und Einkommensrisiken besitzt als autochthone Deutsche. Über die frühe Erwerbskarriere hinweg gleichen sich ihre geringeren Chancen auf Wiedereinstieg in den Arbeitsmarkt sowie ihre größeren Chancen auf Einkommenszuwächse denen der autochthonen Deutschen an, während ihre größeren Arbeitslosigkeitsrisiken bestehen bleiben. Auch hier zeigt sich, dass ihr geringeres aufnahmelandspezifisches Kapital die geringeren Arbeitsmarktchances von Männern der zweiten türkischen Einwanderergeneration beeinflusst. Zusätzlich zeigt sich, dass kumulative Nachteile die frühen Erwerbskarrieren dieser Gruppe beeinträchtigen.  Die dritte Studie untersucht, ob sich die Chancen auf Erwerbstätigkeit, Arbeitslosigkeit, und Hausfrauentätigkeit von Frauen der zweiten türkischen Generation mit denen von autochthonen deutschen Frauen über die frühe Erwerbskarriere hinweg angleichen. Es zeigt sich, dass Frauen der zweiten türkischen Generation öfter in Hausfrauentätigkeiten und weniger oft in Erwerbstätigkeit zu finden sind als autochthone deutsche Frauen. Über die frühe Erwerbskarriere hinweg gleichen sich die Chancen auf Erwerbstätigkeit und Hausfrauentätigkeit jedoch zwischen den beiden Gruppen an. Diese Entwicklung wird dabei überwiegend durch den späteren Eintritt der autochthonen deutschen Frauen in Mutterschaft verursacht, womit autochthone deutsche Frauen in der Regel die Erwerbsarbeit ruhen lassen.  Zusammengefasst tragen die Studien zur empirischen Literatur zur Integration von Migranten bei, indem sie den Arbeitsmarkterfolg von Migranten der zweiten türkischen Generation aus einer Längsschnittperspektive heraus untersuchen und Belege für die Bedeutung von Lebensverlaufsprozesse für die Integration von Migranten finden. In theoretischer Hinsicht stellen die Studien den Fokus klassischer und neuerer Assimilationstheorien auf intergenerationale Assimilation infrage und liefern gute Gründe für die Betrachtung von Integration aus einer Lebenslaufperspektive heraus.

L’insertion professionnelle des Haïtiens de deuxième génération

Garcon, Cynthia 12 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire porte sur l’insertion des Haïtiens de seconde génération sur le marché de l’emploi. L’insertion professionnelle est la condition principale permettant une intégration sociale. En effet, avoir un emploi a des répercussions au niveau économique, social et psychologique. Les écrits ont montré que les jeunes et particulièrement ceux faisant partie d’une minorité visible ont plus de difficulté à s’insérer sur le marché du travail. C’est dans cette optique que nous nous sommes penchés sur la condition des Haïtiens de deuxième génération. La littérature fait état des multiples difficultés sociales et économiques auxquelles est confrontée cette tranche de la population. Nous nous sommes donc intéressés aux caractéristiques de l’insertion professionnelle des ces Haïtiens de seconde génération. Nous avions comme objectif général d’analyser la trajectoire d’insertion de cette population sur le marché du travail. Notre démarche de type qualitatif s’est basée sur une série d’entrevues réalisées à l’hiver 2010 avec des hommes et des femmes Québécois d’origine haïtienne. Les thèmes abordés durant ces entrevues nous ont menés à des résultats différents de ceux recensés dans la littérature académique portant sur les Haïtiens de deuxième génération. En effet, nous avons rencontré des hommes et des femmes qui ont rencontré certains obstacles et qui continuent à faire face à des difficultés en lien avec leur vécu comme individu ayant une origine ethnique différente de celle de la majorité. Ces difficultés se manifestent également dans leur insertion en emploi. Cependant, cela n’a pas empêché ces enfants d’immigrants haïtiens de surmonter les obstacles et réussir leur intégration aux plans professionnel, économique et social. / This thesis focuses on the integration of second-generation Haitians on the job market. Integration on the job market is the main condition for social integration as being employed has impacts at the economical, social and psychological levels. The literature has shown that young people, particularly those belonging to visible minorities have more difficulty in entering the labor market. With this in mind, we examined the status of second-generation Haitians. The literature reports of multiple social and economic difficulties faced by this segment of the population. We are therefore interested in the characteristics of the experience of these second-generation Haitians in the workforce. Our main objective was to analyze the general trajectory of insertion of this population in the labor market. Our qualitative approach was based on a series of interviews conducted in the winter of 2010 with men and women of Haitian origin. Topics discussed during these interviews led to different results from those identified in the academic literature on second-generation Haitians. Indeed, we have met men and women who have encountered some obstacles and continue to face difficulties related to their experiences as individuals with an ethnic background different from that of the majority. These difficulties manifest themselves in their experience on the labor market. However, this has not prevented these children of Haitian immigrants to overcome obstacles and succeed in their integration at the professional, economic and social levels.
