Des groupes de femmes et d'enfants mendient aux carrefours de la capitale iranienne. Ces individus sont systématiquement méprisés et appelés sous le terme vague et général de Kowli (bohémien, Tsigane), tandis qu'ils font partie d'un groupe ethnique et d'une communauté linguistique, méconnus entièrement par les Iraniens et les universitaires. Cette étude entame pour la première fois une recherche ethnographique de ce groupe "péripatétique", qui se nomme, Gorbat, voulant dire : le pays étranger, l'exile. Quelles sont les origines de cet ethnonyme et les modes de son appropriation par ce groupe ? Comment ce groupe survit-il culturellement ? Comment entretient-il ses frontières avec la société majoritaire et d'autres communautés minoritaires ? Cette étude s'est concentrée sur l'un des groupements de ce groupe ethnique, originaire de la ville de Babol au nord de l'Iran. Elle propose comme porte d'entrée à la vision du monde des Gorbat de Babol, l'analyse de la pratique d'aduri.Il s'agit d'une étape incontournable dans la vie de tous les jeunes gorbat de Babol.Cette étape consiste en le travail de la mendicité (aduri) pratiquée quotidiennement par tous les enfants, aux carrefours de Téhéran, et sous la surveillance d'au moins l'une des femmes de leur lignage. Cette pratique engage donc certains liens de parenté et met notamment en exergue la structure patrilinéaire du lignage gorbat. Elle révèle, à son tour, l'importance de cette structure dans l'imbrication identitaire de l'individu. La pratique d'aduri est décrite d'après le concept de Clifford Geertz ; « thick descriptions ». Chaque strate de signification menant à la production, l'aperception et l'interprétation du comportement significatif (ici l'aduri) est décrite et mise en examen. Cette analyse minutieuse ouvre la vision sur une lecture dramaturgique de la mendicité, à la manière de "social drama" de Victor Turner. La mendicité se réalisant dans une forme de rite et d'une manière dramaturgique, le cadre culturel et les symboles qui le constituent surgissent à un niveau visible de l'interaction sociale entre l'individu gorbat et l'individu non-gorbat. Ce phénomène s'impose comme un évènement central dans la vie sociale gorbat et la construction de l'identité communautaire de l'individu. Il est dès lors impossible d'observer la société gorbat, prise isolément. L'autre (le non-gorbat) y est constamment présent. Comme paradigme sociologique, et à la suite de la théorie d'"ethnic boundaries" de Fredrik Barth, cette étude suggère d'observer la société gorbat à travers les rapports qu'elle entretient avec le non-gorbat. Or, ces rapports ne s'expliquent pas seulement par l'économie, ni par la politique mais par le culturel. L'identité et l'altérité se jouent au niveau des interactions sociales de la vie quotidienne, donc en oscillation entre deux cadres moraux et deux systèmes de valeurs. C'est dans un va-et-vient entre deux sphères de construction et de déconstruction de sens que se dessinent ces rapports à soi et à l'autre. C'est au niveau intermédiaire entre les deux sphères qu'il est possible d'observer les points de divergence, ainsi que les sphères où le gorbat ne fait qu'un avec la société globale. / Groups of women and children beg regularly at intersections in the Iranian capital. These individuals are commonly despised and referred to as Kowli (Bohemian Gypsy), while they are part of an ethnic group and a linguistic community, completely ignored by the Iranians and scholars. This study introduces for the first time an ethnographic research of this "peripatetic" group named, Gorbat, meaning: the foreign country, the exile. What are the origins of this ethnonym ?How this group have come to take this name? How does he survive culturally? How does he keep its borders with the global society and other minorities? This study focuses on one of the agglomeration of this ethnic group, originally from the city of Babol in northern Iran. It offers a gateway to the world view of Gorbat of Babol, through the study of a relevant step in the life of every young Babolian Gorbat.This step consists of begging (aduri) practiced daily by all children, at the crossroads of Tehran, under the supervision of at least one of the women of their lineage. This practice therefore reveals certain kinship relations and highlights in particular the structure of the patrilineal lineage in the Gorbat community. It also reveals the importance of this structure in the embedded identity of the individual. The practice of aduri is described according to the concept of Clifford Geertz; "Thick descriptions". Each stratum of meaning leading to the production, perception and interpretation of significant behaviour (here aduri) is described and analysed. This meticulous analysis opens our vision to a dramatic view of begging, in the sense that Victor Turner employs this paradigm in "anthropology of performance". Begging is performed as a rite and produces a drama through which the cultural framework and symbols engaged become visible in the social interaction between the Gorbat and the non-gorbat. This phenomenon emerges as a central event in the social life of the Gorbat and the construction of the collective identity of the individual. It is therefore impossible to observe the Gorbat society in isolation.The other (non-gorbat) is constantly present. As sociological paradigm, and following the theory of "ethnic boundaries" by Fredrik Barth, this study suggests to observe the Gorbat society through its relations with the non-gorbat. However, these relations are not only based on economy nor on politics but on cultural features.The identity and otherness are defined through social interactions of everyday life, by oscillation between two moral frameworks and two value systems. It is through this back-and-forth between two spheres of construction and deconstruction of meaning that the definition of self and of the other emerges. This is at this intermediate level between the two spheres that it becomes possible to observe the points of divergence, but also the spheres where the Gorbat is unified with the global society.

In this way, for biblical research, the studies of the source of primitive Christianity become indispensable. These studies can be carried out by means of historic-anthropological concepts that facilitate the understanding of the formation process of identities in the Jewish-Hellenistic context of primitive Christianity. In the perspective of identity analysis, Gl 3,26-29 reflects and suggests the interaction and approximation between ethnic groups and socio-cultural groups, provided some aspects are observed, such as: their differences and their unity in Christ Jesus; and the recognition of the identities emerging from the social, ethnic and geographical boundaries. From a theological and anthropological point of view, therefore, we get close to the ethnic, socio-cultural and religious conceptual components that the text suggests, as well as social and gender representation that emerge from the interaction between the Christian groups in the first century. Therefore, for the Pauline Christianity of Galatians, the concept of Judaism, in relation to Hellenism did not constitute a fixed , stagnated entity in opposition to the latter. Rather than this, they are in a continuous movement of interaction between boundaries, and, in their diversity and differences they make it possible to understand the emergence of the fluid identities in formation. / Os textos bíblicos são o resultado de um processo histórico-literário no qual as sociedades e as culturas se fazem presentes pelas construções e representações simbólicas, pelas linguagens e pelos discursos. Desse modo, na pesquisa bíblica torna-se imprescindível o estudo das fontes do cristianismo primitivo por meio de conceitos histórico-antropológicos que possibilitem compreender o processo de formação de identidades no contexto judaicohelênico do cristianismo primitivo. Na perspectiva de análise das identidades, Gl 3,26-29 reflete e sugere a interação e a aproximação entre os grupos étnicos e socioculturais, observadas as diferenças e a unidade em Cristo Jesus; e o reconhecimento das identidades a partir da dinâmica das fronteiras sociais, étnicas e geográficas. Dos pontos de vista teológico e antropológico, aproximamo-nos dos componentes conceituais étnicos, socioculturais e religiosos que o texto sugere, bem como das representações sociais e de gênero que emergem da interação entre os grupos cristãos ainda no século I. Portanto, para o cristianismo paulino da Galácia, a concepção do judaísmo, em sua relação com o helenismo, não constitui uma entidade fixa, estagnada, em simples oposição a este; eles estão em contínuo movimento de interação entre as fronteiras e, em sua diversidade e diferenças, possibilitam compreender o emergir das identidades fluidas em formação.

This paper applies the ethnic boundary making theory developed by Andreas Wimmer to understand the maintenance of Jewish ethnic identification in Sweden, as expressed in thirteen interviews with Swedish Jews. Wimmer’s theory holds that ethnic conflict and persecution routinizes and entrenches perceptions of ethnic difference; I argue that the antisemitic persecutions of the 20th century has entrenched the perception of the ethnic distinctiveness of Jews among Jews themselves. These persecutions also contribute to alienation from Swedish society, which does not share the same historical identity and frames of understanding. These factors in turn motivate the participants to maintain the ethnic boundary between Swedes and Jews and guard it against assimilation. Ethnic consciousness also motivates Jews to endow the category of “Jewish” with cultural content, sometimes having previously lacked knowledge of Jewish culture; the cultural distinctiveness of Jews is thus shown to partly be a result of the ethnic boundary between Jews and others, and not just an explanation for that boundary. However; the participants are generally not prepared to restrict the choice of romantic bonds to fellow Jews; since social closure is required to maintain ethnic boundaries (as stressed by Wimmer), this puts the participants in a contradictory situation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate segregation from an accommodation perspective. The essay questions how the residents of Ronna feel about their neighborhood and what they think of other people's views of their area. Our purpose is to conduct a qualitative study of whether or not individuals experience residential segregation in Ronna. The essay is based on qualitative interviews, which were conducted with five people who have lived in Ronna for at least five years and who define themselves as Assyrians/Syrians. To analyze our empirical data, we have used two theoretical perspectives. One by Westin and Elias & Scotson, which is the theory about social groups - established and outsiders. The second theory explains how ethnic boundaries and enclaves occur. With the support of previous research, we highlight and define the fundamental factors causing segregation. After analyzing our empirical data, we concluded that residential segregation is a broad concept and that there are several factors that lead to segregation. The result of the study indicates that all informants thrive in their neighborhood and feel a solidarity and cohesion with each other. In Ronna the Assyrian/Syrian is a dominant ethnic community which has formed a strong “We” – group in their neighborhood. / Syfte med denna studie är att belysa boendesegregationen i Ronna ur de boendes perspektiv. Med stöd av några teoretiska perspektiv besvaras frågan om hur invånare i Ronna upplever sitt bostadsområde, samt hur de förhåller sig till andras uppfattningar och föreställningar om sitt område.Studiens syfte uppnås genom en kvalitativ studie om individers upplevelser kring boendesegregationen i Ronna. Uppsatsen är uppbyggd utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer, vilka har genomförts med fem personer i åldrarna 30-45 som för närvarande bor i Ronna sedan minst fem år tillbaka, alla dessa individer definierar sig som assyrier/syrianer. För att analysera intervjumaterialet har vi använt oss av två teoretiska perspektiv. Den ena av dessa är det samhällsvetenskapliga forskningsinriktning som studerar sociala grupper - etablerade och outsiders, därefter har denna teori kompletterats med ett ytterligare teoretiskt perspektiv som redogör för hur etniska gränser och enklaver uppstår. Med hjälp av tidigare forskning belysas och definieras olika bakomliggande faktorer som kan orsaka boendesegregation inom ett bostadsområde. Analysen av intervjumaterialet visar att boendesegregation är ett omfattande fenomen där flera faktorer ger upphov till att segregation uppstår. Studieresultatet påvisar att i Ronna är assyrier/syrianer en dominerande folkgrupp som har skapat en stark vi-grupp i sitt bostadsområde. Samtliga informanter trivs bra i sitt bostadsområde, samt känner en stark gemenskap och tillhörighet.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a memória coletiva e a etnicidade da comunidade distrital de Vila Seca, incluída em situação rural, localizada nos Campos de Cima da Serra da Encosta Superior do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, no município de Caxias do Sul. Na última década, esta localidade mostra-se palco da instalação de uma barragem para fins de captação de água potável à população de Caxias do Sul. Em meio a um contexto de limitações de usos do solo da região, moradores buscam formas de potencializar recursos materiais e simbólicos para a comunidade. Convém destacar que a localidade foi perpassada por atividades tropeiras em finais do século XIX e meados do século XX, o que lhe conferiu a caracterização de pouso a tropeiros. Por parte dos moradores do distrito de Vila Seca, compreende-se que sua identidade étnica originou-se de populações imigrantes luso-açorianas, diferenciando-se, assim, da identidade majoritária de seu município, conhecida pela sua italianidade. Nesse contexto, observa-se uma organização social responsável pela manutenção das fronteiras étnicas e realce de sinais diacríticos, em um processo contínuo de dicotomização entre o “Nós” em oposição a “Eles”. Evidenciam-se por parte da comunidade momentos de efervescência coletiva, relacionados às festas distritais. Nas festividades, demonstram-se tanto a religiosidade da comunidade na devoção ao Divino Espírito Santo quanto o cultivo dos hábitos de homem do campo. / This thesis aims to analyze the collective memory and ethnicity of the community in the district of Vila Seca, which is located in a rural area in the Campos de Cima da Serra region of the upper Northeastern slopes of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the municipality of Caxias do Sul. In the last decade, this location became the location for the installation of a dam to provide drinking water to the population of Caxias do Sul. In a context of limitations on land use in the area, residents seek ways to raise the potential of material and symbolic resources for the community. It should be emphasized that many mule trains passed through that region in the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth century, which gave it the character of a rest stop for mule drivers. Through interviews with the residents of the district of Vila Seca, it is possible to understand that their ethnic identity originated from Portuguese-Azorean immigrant populations, thus differing from the identity of the majority of their municipality, well known for its Italian identity. In this context, there the social organization of the district maintains ethnic boundaries and highlights diacritical signs of identity, enhancement of in a continuous process of dichotomization between "Us" and "Them". The community displays moments of collective effervescence, related to the district festivals. These festivities manifest both religious devotion to the community’s patron saint, the Divine Holy Spirit, and the cultivation of rural customs.

Les courants migratoires outre-atlantiques à la charnière du XIXe et du XXe siècle consolidèrent la représentation de la nation argentine comme « un pays d’immigration ». Mais, derrière l’assimilation réussie de centaines de milliers d’étrangers se cache un complexe rapport entre la nation et la diversité qui compose sa population. Nous avons placé au coeur de notre recherche l’étude de l’ethnicité en Argentine et son rapport avec la nation et les phénomènes migratoires internes et externes. Les élites du XIXe siècle mirent en place des politiques de population qui visaient l’édification d’une société homogène, blanche et d’origine européenne. Celles-ci provoquèrent un « processus d’effacement » de l’ethnicité argentine qui fut achevé durant le XXe siècle avec l’avènement du péronisme. Ce ne fut qu’au cours des gouvernements de Carlos Menem durant les années 1990 que l’ethnicité subit une nouvelle fois de profondes transformations, notamment à cause de la montée de la xénophobie ciblant les immigrants limitrophes. Notre recherche propose une étude de l’évolution du rapport entre le péronisme et l’ethnicité. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi de suivre l’approche barthienne de l’ethnicité et de placer au centre de notre analyse le concept de frontière ethnique. Notre recherche s’achève avec l’analyse d’entretiens semi-dirigés effectués lors d’un travail de terrain réalisé auprès de la communauté bolivienne à Buenos Aires. Nous tenterons de montrer que les changements de l’ethnicité durant les années 1990 sont à mettre en rapport avec la désarticulation des identités politiques traditionnelles et le rétrécissement de la citoyenneté qui caractérisèrent cette période. / Migratory movements across the Atlantic at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries consolidated the representation of the Argentine nation as "a country of immigration". But behind the successful assimilation of hundreds of thousands of foreigners, lies a complex relationship between the nation and the diversity that makes up its population. We have placed at the heart of our research the study of ethnicity in Argentina and its relationship with the nation and internal and external migratory phenomena. The nineteenth-century elites set up population policies aiming at building a homogeneous, white and european origin for the society. These policies provoked a "process of erasing" argentinian ethnicity which was completed during the 20th century with the advent of peronism. It was only during the governments of Carlos Menem during the 1990s that ethnicity underwent profound changes, notably because of the rise of xenophobia targeting neighboring immigrants. Our research proposes a study of the evolution of the relationship between Peronism and ethnicity. To do this, we chose to follow the Barthian approach to ethnicity and to place the concept of ethnic frontier at the center of our analysis. Our research ends with the analysis of semi-directed interviews accomplished during a field work carried out with the Bolivian community in Buenos Aires. We will try to show that the changes in ethnicity during the 1990s are related to the phenomenon of disarticulation of traditional political identities and shrinking citizenship that characterized this period.
