Les maisons bâties au village d’origine dans les représentations des migrants roumains
Journal Title: Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Migrants’ houses built in homeland are endowed with different significations: several migrants perceives them as a way to validate their social status within the community of origin, while others may conceive them as an investment or as a "safety" retirement or shelter in case of failure. Nevertheless, for the majority of migrants, the house remains a "home" linked either to the home country or the destination country, the sense of belonging being determined by the subject’s age, gender, education level, family ties, migration experience and labor market incentives. Using a fieldwork conducted in the village of Marginea in northern Romania, between 2009 and 2011, the paper discusses the factors that shape the representation of migrants’ houses in the homeland.
