Nodes of inclusion and exclusion: media, contexto and the shaping of contemporary movements across the Atlantic
Publication . Rosales, Marta Vilar
This chapter is based on a comparative ethnographic research project
addressing the migration movements across the Atlantic between four cities
(Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Lisbon and Porto), from 2011 to 2015, and their
intersections with the movements of things (Appadurai 1988) across the same
routes. The project examined all four cities as both sites of departure and
destination. This theoretical and methodological option aspired to challenge
the dominant assumptions concerning power relationships and their impact
on migration trends between South American and European countries, in
general; and simultaneously tackle present day post-colonial relationships
between Portugal and Brazil, in particular. The movements of people and
things were explored at three levels of analysis. The first (macro) aimed at
identifying and contextualising the major lines that define and delimit these
movements between the four cities, exploring how and to what extent they
feed, compete and/or complement each other. The second (mezzo) investigated
the specificities of each city as point of arrival and departure. Thirdly (micro),
the impact of movement on identity and belonging was looked into through
the analysis of domestic material culture and consumption practices.
Travessias do Atlântico: materialidade, movimentos contemporâneos e políticas de pertença
Publication . Rosales, Marta Vilar; Machado, Vânia Pereira
O projeto Travessias do Atlântico: Materialidade, Movimentos Contemporâneos e Políticas de Pertença estudou durante três anos os fluxos migratórios entre quatro grandes cidades: Lisboa, Porto, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. Este capítulo tem como objectivo disponibilizar um conjunto de dados descritivos sobre as travessias realizadas por portugueses para as duas cidades brasileiras em estudo. Assume-se como um contributo para a caracterização sociográfica deste grupo específico de emigrantes recentes e procura posicioná-lo por comparação com a numerosa e significativa população de origem portuguesa que integrou vagas migratórias anteriores e se fixou naquelas duas grandes metrópoles.
Framing movement experiences: Migration, materiality and everyday life
Publication . Rosales, Marta Vilar
This article aims to discuss contemporary migrations from the perspective of material
culture. The discussion presented here assumes that material culture plays
a significant part in all migration processes by establishing lines of continuity
between present and past, confirming and reproducing identity and belonging,
framing everyday life and displaying new positioning strategies. Beginning with
two snapshots of recent ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Brazil and Canada,
I hope to contribute to the discussion of contemporary migration through studying
the lens of materiality and the role it plays in these processes. It will be argued that
material culture is a productive tool, not only to address the grounds, motivations
and resources people activate in order to utilize migration as an effective option, but
also to discuss the relationships between movement, settling, cultural reproduction
and innovation.
