”Vi finns i hela världen… Vi tänker och har Eritrea i våra tankar och minnen” : En narrativanalys om diasporisk tillhörighet i Sverige / “We are located all over the world… We think and have Eritrea in our thoughts and memories” : A narrative analysis of diasporic belonging in Sweden

Gottfredsson, Jens January 2019 (has links)
This thesis examines how different persons origin from Eritrea express their diasporic belonging in Sweden and how this appears in their stories about their former homeland. This has been done by five qualitative interviews that has been processed using a narrative analysis. The diasporic belonging is operationalized to the three diaspora indicators; Dispersion, Homeland Orientation and Boundary-Maintenance. These indicators help us to understand the persons dispersions in the transnational social field and different levels of long-distance nationalism in their homeland orientated positions. The result shows that the diasporic belonging differs depending on self-perceived events and stories among people of the Eritrean diaspora in Sweden. The narratives in the study discern different beliefs about religion and political participation in the direction to Eritrea, which indicates that the Eritrean diaspora in Sweden is dynamic and multifaceted.

From Victim Diaspora to Transborder Citizenship? : Diaspora formation and transnational relations among Kurds in France and Sweden

Khayati, Khalid January 2008 (has links)
Denna avhandling är en komparativ undersökning av pågående förändringsprocesser bland kurder i Marseillesregionen i Frankrike och Stockholmsregionen i Sverige. I fokus står skiftet från en endimensionell och offerrelaterad kurdisk diasporisk identitet mot en mer sammansatt och aktiv. Studien går bortom entydiga erfarenheter av smärta, trauma och offerkänsla i syfte att lyfta fram en rad andra diasporiska situationer och företeelser såsom institutionella och transnationella formationer, assabiyya nätverk, ”on air” och ”online” verksamheter, kulturella och litterära aktiviteter osv., som samtliga är centrala element när det gäller att upprätthålla ett gränsöverskridande medborgarskap bland diasporiska kurder i de bägge länderna. Studien vidhåller dessutom att kurder i både Sverige och Frankrike på olika sätt är utsatta för diskriminering och socialt utanförskap. Avhandlingen visar hur kurder i Frankrike och Sverige utvecklar olika diasporiska diskurser och handlingsmönster. Beroende på en relativt likartad social bakgrund och på den exkluderande politiska miljö som finns i Frankrike så upprätthåller kurderna i Marseillesområdet en påtagligt offerrelaterad diasporisk diskurs. Samtidigt är framväxten av ett gränsöverskridande medborgarskap här starkt begränsad. Eftersom kurderna i Sverige är dels jämförelsevis socialt och politiskt diversifierade och dels vistas i en mer gynnsam politisk miljö upprätthåller de inte bara en mer flexibel diasporisk diskurs än kurder i Marseillesområdet. De har också utvecklat ett mer långtgående gränsöverskridande medborgarskap. / This study is a comparative exploration of an ongoing process of change from a mono-dimensional, victim-related Kurdish diasporic identity to a more modulated, dynamic and active form of it among Kurds in the Marseille region in France and the Stockholm region in Sweden. The study goes beyond the experience of pain and trauma and the sense of victimhood in order to depict a multitude of other diasporic situations and trajectories such as institutional and transnational arrangements, assabiyya networks, “on air” and cyberspace “online” involvements, cultural and literary activities, and so forth, which are necessary elements for the development of the practice of transborder citizenship among diasporan Kurds in the two countries. The study argues that the Kurds in France and Sweden have conceived different diasporic discourses and at the same time have chosen different modes of action. Due to their uniform social background and the exclusionary French political environment, the Kurds in the region of Marseille maintain a tangible victim diaspora discourse and limited practice of transborder citizenship. As the Kurds in Sweden are socially and politically diversified, and as they live in the more favorable Swedish political environment, they maintain not only a flexible diaspora discourse but also a more highly developed practice of transborder citizenship than the Kurds in the Marseille region.
