Descripción del proyecto
Implicaciones sociales de los matrimonios mixtos en Serbia
Los matrimonios mixtos constituyen un importante elemento de cohesión social y contacto entre mayorías y minorías étnicas. Dichos matrimonios se acogen con satisfacción como vehículos que alivian las tensiones o bien se cuestionan como impulsores de la asimilación. Sin embargo, los aspectos sociales, la dinámica familiar y la construcción de la identidad de los miembros de la familia en los matrimonios mixtos no se estudian en profundidad en Europa Central y los Balcanes Occidentales. El equipo del proyecto IMEI de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie analizará la repercusión social de los matrimonios mixtos en Voivodina, cuyos Estados de referencia de minorías étnicas (Hungría, Eslovaquia y Rumanía) son miembros de la Unión Europea. En el proyecto se analizarán las transformaciones de identidad étnica y cultural sufridas por los socios, se examinará la transferencia intergeneracional de marcadores étnicos, religiosos y culturales, y se investigarán las políticas y el marco jurídico de Serbia en materia de minorías étnicas.
Objetivo
An important element of social cohesion and contact between majorities and sub-state ethnic minorities are intermarriages, which are either welcomed as vehicles easing the tensions between nations and sub-state minorities, or criticized as important drivers of assimilation and the ‘destroyers’ of ethnic minority communities. The social aspects, family dynamics and identity construction of family members in intermarriages were not studied methodically in CEE and the WB. Therefore, the goal of the Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity (IMEI) project is to analyse the social implications of intermarriages between members of ethnic minority communities and the majority nations in Vojvodina, the multiethnic region of Serbia. The IMEI project will contribute to the state-of-the-art by analysing the social impacts of intermarriages on three levels, namely the individual (micro), the family (meso) and the societal (macro) in a significantly multi-ethnic geographic region. On the individual level the project will examine ethnic and cultural identity transformations undergone by partners in intermarriages. On the family level we will explore the processes of intergenerational transfer of ethnic, religious and cultural markers. On the societal level the project will investigate the workings of the relevant and quite modern ethnic minority policies and legal framework of Serbia and their impact on intermarriages. This research is relevant in the wider European context as well, as we will specifically target the Hungarian, Slovak and Romanian ethnic minorities living in Vojvodina, whose kin-states (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania) are members of the European Union, whose members often have dual Serbian and EU citizenship and are therefore subject to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, the European Union’s key policies for the protection of (its) minorities.
