Opis projektu
W jaki sposób potomkom europejskich emigrantów przekazuje się poczucie przynależności
Hiszpańskie i włoskie przepisy zapewniają uprzywilejowane traktowanie obywatelom Chile hiszpańskiego lub włoskiego pochodzenia. Dzięki programom zachęcającym do powrotu kwalifikujący się obywatele Chile mają prawo wjazdu do tych krajów i uzyskania ich obywatelstwa. Sfinansowany przez UE projekt RETHEIR ma na celu znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące poczucia przynależności oraz tego, w jaki sposób jest ono przekazywane i odtwarzane w rodzinach emigrantów. Wyjaśni on również, w jaki sposób zjawisko to wiąże się z przepisami dotyczącymi narodowości i powrotu do kraju. W ramach projektu przeprowadzone zostaną etnograficzne regionalne badania w terenie – w Chile, we Włoszech i w Hiszpanii.
Cel
This project aims at carrying out a comparative, multi-generational and interdisciplinary analysis of European emigrants’ descendants’ “return” from Chile to Spain and Italy. Italian and Spanish legislation and return programmes give a preferential right to entry and to nationality acquisition to foreign citizens of emigrant descent. These legal frameworks generate massive migrations that can be called the “return of the heirs” - as those who “come back” have inherited a privileged legal status, based on the “legal myth” of ethnically motivated return migration. Almost invisible in research and in the public sphere, these migrations raise urgent issues regarding European identity, citizenship, belonging and family heritage. Indeed, an unquestioned gap between the right to enter and the right to return to European countries informs present-day policies, as more and more countries base their nationality laws on jus sanguinis, giving family inheritance a central role in access to citizenship rights.
This programme aims to answer this research question: how is belonging transmitted and re-created in families of emigrant descent and how is it linked to the changing nationality and return laws of the countries their ancestors came from? Its objective is to identify and compare different patterns of belonging production and transmission in families of emigrant descent, with regard to gender, nationhood, ethnicity, regional identity and law. To pursue this goal, the research will be based on a six months ethnographic regional fieldwork in Chile, Italy and Spain and on a qualitative analysis of data conducted with an interdisciplinary approach.
The research project will be carried out at the Dipartimento Culture, Politica e Società of UniTo, an interdisciplinary department which will offer me training on the transversal themes on which I need to enhance my skills and will help me strengthen my competencies in dissemination and communication of research to different publics.
