To investigate this phenomenon started from the hypothesis that relations of friendship and kinship influence the migratory process of peruvians and impact negotiations identity experienced by them. In this sense, one of the concerns of this work is understand the motivations and meanings of different personal trajectories of men and women of peruvian nationality who left their country of origin and they integrated in another sociocultural reality. So, to verify the proximity between brazilians and peruvians and the different levels of changes made between them, to reveal the identity aspects that determine and characterize the insertion of peruvian migrants in Boa Vista´s society, was used the qualitative methodology, with an emphasis in the open interviews and informal conversation. The interlocutors of the study were men and women of peruvian nationality, between 18 and 72 years old, who came at different periods and they exert different professional activities, as merchants, doctors and teachers. The light of the theories of migration studies and identity was possible to understand how the peruvian migrants negotiate their identities, according to their migration experiences, although they are away from their place of origin, they do not lose the native culture and identity like a reference. However, they also incorporate elements of culture, and the identity of the destination enabling the negotiation of their identities through their survival strategies, from their representations, the dilemmas of their own migrant status and through of mediation wherein feel understood by Boa Vista´s society. In this context, the families networks and friendships of peruvian migrants, they strengthen the referential significant of place of origin, well as the condition of migrant subject. / A presente dissertação tem como objeto as negociações identitárias dos peruanos que migraram para a cidade de Boa Vista entre os anos de 1990 a 2010. Para investigar esse fenômeno partiu-se da hipótese de que as relações de amizades e de parentesco influenciam o processo migratório de peruanos e impactam as negociações identitárias vivenciadas por eles. Neste sentido, uma das preocupações deste trabalho é entender as motivações e os diferentes significados das trajetórias pessoais de homens e mulheres de nacionalidade peruana que deixaram seu país de origem e se integraram em outra realidade sociocultural. Desta forma, para verificar a proximidade entre brasileiros e peruanos e os diferentes níveis de trocas realizadas entre eles, de modo a revelar os aspectos identitários que condicionam e caracterizam a inserção dos migrantes peruanos na sociedade boa-vistense, utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa, com ênfase nas entrevistas abertas e conversas informais. Os interlocutores da pesquisa foram homens e mulheres de nacionalidade peruana, entre 18 e 72 anos, que se deslocaram em períodos diversos e que exercem distintas atividades profissionais, como comerciantes, médicos e professores. A luz das teorias dos estudos migratórios e identitários foi possível compreender como os migrantes peruanos negociam suas identidades, segundo suas experiências migratórias. Embora estes estejam afastados de seu local de origem, não perderam a cultura e a identidade nativa como referência. Contudo, eles também incorporam os elementos da cultura e da identidade do local de destino, possibilitando a negociação de suas identidades por meio de suas estratégias de sobrevivência, de suas representações, dos dilemas próprios à sua condição de migrante e por meio de uma mediação em que se sintam compreendidos pela sociedade boa-vistense. Nesse contexto, as redes familiares e de amizades dos migrantes peruanos fortalecem os referenciais significativos do lugar de origem, bem como a condição de sujeito migrante.

A common problem that immigrants who arrive to different countries of the world face is finding information, guidance and support related to the education of their children. Generally, social networks formed by other fellow nationals represent an important source of support. However, a question arises from that premise. What happens in the case of immigrants who do not have these kinds of connections with their fellow nationals? This paper analyses the case of a Peruvian community in Japan where a lack of strong relationships that represent a valuable social capital for its members was observed. As a consequence, the families are compensating this deficit through a strengthening of their family bonds, while their children become the main source of information regarding the Japanese educational system / Un problema común entre los emigrantes peruanos que viven en diferentes países del mundo consiste en las dificultades que enfrentan para obtener información acerca de la educación de los hijos. Una fuente importante de apoyo suelen ser las redes sociales de connacionales; sin embargo, ¿qué ocurre en el caso de los migrantes que disponen de este tipo de relaciones? El presente artículo analiza el caso de una comunidad de peruanos en Japón que no cuenta con relaciones sólidas que representen un capital social valioso para sus miembros. Puede verse que las familias compensan esta carencia mediante el fortalecimiento de las relaciones familiares, y que los hijos son la fuente principal de información acerca del sistema educativo japonés.

This research investigates why people acquire dual citizenship. It focuses on the acquisition of dual citizenship through residency, with a processual lens and under conditions of “ordinariness” to tackle aspects that are usually overlooked. It builds on the differentiated access to dual citizenship granted to Peruvian migrants by the Italian and Spanish citizenship regimes. The 79 Peruvian migrants included in the study are either prospective dual citizens or actual dual citizens. The research builds on qualitative methods ranging from participant observation to in-depth semi-structured interviews. It investigates the motivations, expectations and contingences that bring migrants to the status acquisition. The analysis distinguishes between early and postponed acquisitions to highlight how practices of convenience and everyday forms of substantive commitment can coexist under the same national umbrella. Moreover it suggests that the availability and accessibility of the dual status cannot be conflated with a supposed desirability. Although nation-states design their citizenship and immigration regimes according to normative stances that should shape their ideal citizenry, individuals qua migrants manage to forge their own way into the host community while formally abiding the law. Thus, migrants’ pathways across statuses are the result of structural constraints as much as personal preferences and deliberate positioning vis-à-vis nation-states. The study shows how people navigate the laws through both legal and semi-legal means; how they cultivate constellations of belonging that do not necessarily match formal memberships; and how they invest citizenship with multiple meanings that can converge, collide, or simply bypass the state-led rhetoric on national membership.

El COVID – 19 ha perjudicado la salud mental de las personas a nivel mundial. En el Perú, un ámbito gravemente afectado por la pandemia es el sector educativo. Por esa razón, el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la relación entre ansiedad por Covid - 19 y salud mental. Asimismo, tiene como objetivos específicos: Comparar la ansiedad por Covid - 19 y salud mental en función a variables sociodemográficas: edad, sexo, convivencia familiar, situación laboral, diagnóstico de COVID-19 en sus familiares, amigos y en ellos mismos, diagnóstico y tratamiento contra la ansiedad, y, tiempo pensando, viendo o escuchando información sobre el COVID-19. Los participantes fueron 356 estudiantes universitarios (227 mujeres y 129 hombres, Medad = 22.36 años, DE = 2.46) a quienes se les aplicó el Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) en español y el Mental Health Inventory-5 ((MHI) a fines de Mayo e inicios de Junio de 2020 mediante un muestreo no probabilístico. Los resultados muestran que existe una correlación negativa y estadísticamente significativa entre la ansiedad por COVID – 19 y la salud mental (r = -,544; p ≤ 0.01). Asimismo, respecto a las comparaciones realizadas se evidencian diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función a las variables sociodemográficas previamente mencionadas. El estudio confirma que a mayor ansiedad por COVID – 19 menor salud mental en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios peruanos. / COVID - 19 has harmed people's mental health worldwide. In Perú, it has also affected severely all levels of the education system. For this reason, the objective of the present study is to determine the relationship between anxiety by Covid - 19 and mental health. It also has the following specific objectives: Compare the anxiety by Covid - 19 and mental health according to sociodemographic variables: age, sex, family life, work status, diagnosis of COVID – 19 in their family, friends and themselves, diagnosis and treatment against anxiety, and, time thinking, watching or listening to information about Covid-19. The participants were 356 university students (227 women and 129 men, average age = 22.36 years, Standard Deviation = 2.46) To whom it was applied the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale in Spanish and the Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI) late May and early June 2020 through non-probability sampling. The study confirms that there is a statistically significant correlation between anxiety by Covid – 19 and mental health (r = -, 544; p ≤ 0.01). Also, regarding the comparisons made statistically significant differences are evidenced according to the variables sociodemographic previously mentioned. The study confirms that the more anxiety by Covid - 19 the lower mental health in a sample of Peruvians university students. / Tesis

L’immigration au Québec se caractérise depuis quelques années par une nouvelle dynamique. La présence d’immigrants socialement perçus comme « minorités ethniques », ou plus précisément comme « minorités visibles », est de plus en plus évidente, surtout dans des contextes urbains où la diversité ethnique est une donnée palpable au quotidien. Dans ce mémoire nous proposons de travailler sur l’impact du loisir défini comme un ensemble de pratiques culturelles, c'est-à-dire des pratiques de loisir enracinées dans l’habitus, à l’appui de l’analyse du processus d’intégration sociale d’un groupe d’immigrants péruviens nouvellement arrivés à Montréal. Cette enquête cherche à explorer le rapport entre loisir et intégration, à partir d’un cadre théorique qui nous permet d’aborder le loisir comme un domaine particulièrement fécond sur le plan de la participation à la société d’accueil. Pour ce faire, nous avons privilégié une approche qualitative qui nous a aidé à « reconstruire » la trajectoire d’intégration de cinq nouveaux arrivants péruviens installés à Montréal depuis cinq ans ou moins. L’analyse des données révèle que le processus d’intégration de ces migrants est difficile, en raison des épreuves de l’adaptation (l’acculturation) à la société hôte, et que les activités liées aux loisirs ont un impact positif sur ledit processus, en partie parce qu’elles jouent un rôle stratégique qui favorise l’adaptation et la participation. Ces activités illustrent aussi les modalités d’une incorporation dans certains domaines de la vie sociale (l’emploi, la vie culturelle, la socialisation amicale) qui permet de ne pas rompre totalement les liens avec la communauté d’origine. Au quotidien, les loisirs permettent un rapprochement avec le groupe majoritaire et, plus largement, avec les autres groupes présents à Montréal : des liens d’amitié se développent, des pratiques de sociabilité se déploient, la consommation de certains biens et services est stimulée, l’individu fait de nouvelles connaissances, etc. Le lien entre communalisation ethnique et intégration permet alors de traverser différents espaces et groupes. Le plaisir reste par ailleurs le moteur des loisirs, c'est-à-dire que les activités choisies par les individus correspondent à leurs goûts, leurs intérêts, et que le loisir, en général, va de pair avec le plaisir. Ce lien favorise le déploiement de « réponses » spécifiques par nos interlocuteurs face aux problèmes d’adaptation, et la confirmation d’une sorte de sentiment d’intégration chez eux. / Immigration in Quebec has recently experienced a new trend. In fact, the arrival of immigrants socially perceived as "ethnic minorities", or more specifically as "visible minorities", has become increasingly evident, especially in the urban context where ethnic diversity is palpable every day. In this master’s thesis, we focus on the impact of leisure defined as a set of cultural practices, that is to say leisure practices embedded in the “habitus,” to support the analysis of the social integration of a group of Peruvian immigrants recently arrived in Montréal. This investigation seeks to explore the relationship between leisure and integration. Utilizing a theoretical framework allowed us to approach leisure, as a field that encourages participation in the host society. To achieve this goal, we used a qualitative approach in order to "rebuild" the integration trajectory of five Peruvian newcomers who had settled in Montréal for five years or less. The data analysis reveals that the integration process of these immigrants is difficult, since this process presents challenges of adaptation (acculturation) to the host society, and leisure activities have a positive impact on that process in part because they play a strategic role that promotes adaptation and participation. These activities also illustrate the modes of incorporation into some areas of social life (employment, cultural life, friendship and socialization), which does not completely break the ties to the community of origin. In daily practice, leisure promotes the rapprochement with the majority group and more generally, with the other ethnic groups living in Montréal: the friendship develops, the practices of sociability are deployed, the consumption of some goods and services is stimulated, and the individual meet more people, etc. The connection between ethnic communalization and integration can allow the individual to enter different areas and groups. Moreover, pleasure is the engine of leisure, so this means that leisure activities chosen by these individuals match their personal tastes and interests. This link facilitates the deployment of specific “responses” by these newcomers (coping responses), in order to face their problems of adaptation, and the confirmation of a sort of integration feeling among them.
