Containerdeutsche : contemporary German immigration to Australia and CanadaRadermacher, Ulrike January 1991 (has links)
This thesis is a comparative study of contemporary German migration to Australia and Canada, specifically to Sydney and Vancouver. It explores the dynamics of the migration process from a phenomenological point of view. All events and circumstances in the migration process are seen as interrelated, and therefore important to the analysis. Furthermore, the meaning of a phenomenon can only be understood by exploring its context. Therefore, this study views contemporary German migration in its various contexts—how it is displayed in the social science literature and manifested in government statistics, how it is presented as common sense, and how it is experienced by the migrants themselves. Thus, the phenomenological approach attempts to be holistic.
Using the phenomenologic-hermeneutic paradigm the thesis focuses on the subjective experiences of individuals; in terms of migrants' understanding of their own motivations, migration decisions, and the process of adjustment, and in terms of their understanding of other contemporary German migration experience.
The study examines the migration narratives of a sample of thirty Germans who have migrated, or are at some stage of the process of migrating, to either Australia or Canada over the last twenty-five years. The specific analysis and interpretation of these accounts are based on the hermeneutic philosophy of meaning and discourse. The sample interviews reveal two levels of conceptualization in the subjects' accounts. At one level all migrants talk in a way that can be characterized as representing "common knowledge". On another level, the interviewees interpret their own personal motivations and experiences in a way which does not correspond to common knowledge. Interviewees commonly described the Neueinwanderer (new immigrant) as wealthy, arrogant business migrants, but none of the interviewees described themselves in those terms. In
Australia it was commonly thought that Neueinwanderer have a difficult adjustment time, but most personal narratives related positive adjustment experiences. In Canada all interviewees believed that German immigrants had no great adjustment difficulties.
The major finding of this thesis is that the conventional notions of linearity and finality with respect to migration need to be re-evaluated in the social science literature, government policies and common sense. The phenomenologic discussion reveals that modern migration, at least for certain groups to certain countries, is not a linear, discrete and final process. Instead, this thesis argues that migration is best seen as a comprehensive, recursive process of decision making, action (legal application and geographic move) and adaptation to a new environment. / Arts, Faculty of / Anthropology, Department of / Graduate

Rites et construction de l'identité berbère. Les rites funéraires dans le contexte de l'évolution des formes traditionnelles du rite au Maroc. / Riti e costruzione dell'identitá berbera. I riti funerari in contesti di evoluzione delle forme tradizionali del rito in MaroccoFerraro, Rosa 16 January 2017 (has links)
Ce travail est le résultat d'une recherche croisée entre l'Italie et le Maroc, limité à un restreinte environnement géographique, à savoir, la ville de Maddaloni dans la région Campanie, et les deux provinces du Maroc, Beni Mellal et Khouribga, lieux d'où vient la plupart des migrants marocains qui vit dans le sud de l'Italie. Le but de la thèse était de comprendre les aspects de l’identité berbère à travers les rites et les rituels funéraires dans le contexte migratoire. / This work is the result of a cross-search between Italy and Morocco, limited to one restricted geographical environment, namely, the city of Maddaloni in the region Campania, and the two provinces of Morocco, Beni Mellal and Khouribga, places from where comes the most of the Moroccan migrants who lives in southern Italy. The aim of the thesis was to understand aspects of Berber identity through rituals and funerary rituals in the migratory context.

KapitalemigrationLindkvist, Hans January 1990 (has links)
Under 1800-talets andra hälft och under 1900-talets början emigrerade många svenskar på grund av fattigdom. Efter andra världskriget har många förmögna svenskar emigrerat. Om detta skett på grund av förmögenheterna och därmed sammanhängande skattebelastning diskuteras i denna avhandling. Skattenivåer för förmögna redovisar för Sverige och de tre viktigaste emigrationsländerna Storbritannien, Schweiz och Frankrike. Jämförelser görs i modellform. Ekonomisk psykologisk teori används för att belysa andra faktorer för skattedifferenser som påverkar förmögna svenskars emigrationsbenägenhet. Det empiriska material som redovisas består av en genomgång av Riksbankens beviljade utförseltillstånd i samband med emigration för perioden 1965-1984. Med denna som underlag har intervjuer gjorts med en grupp emigranter. Vidare har också en grupp förmögna som valt att inte emigrera, en kontrollgrupp, intervjuats. Vissa skillnader mellan grupperna med avseende på bakgrund och attityder redovisas. Slutligen görs ett försök till grov beräkning av storleksordningen av det skattebortfall som svenska samhället drabbas av på grund av emigrationen av förmögna. / Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögsk.
