SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF TURKISH IMMIGRANTS IN ROMANIA? SYNCOPES IN THE CONFIGURATION OF A DETERRITORIALIZED IDENTITY

Abstract

David Lockwood highlights the distinction between systemic and social integration. If social integration focuses on cultural values, traditions, and identities, the systemic one operates with rules according to which the host community of the immigrant functions, whether they are judicial, economic, civic or political. Although ideally social integration would complement systemic integration, the former is more difficult to achieve, since it presupposes the configuration of a deterritorialized identity of the immigrant. The paper concentrates on the relation between social integration and the configuration of the deterritorialized identity of the Turkish immigrant in Romania. Methodologically, a content analyses of some interviews conducted with Turkish immigrants in Romania will be carried out, by following a series of indicators, such as: the development of social relations outside the ethnic group, the accessing of the various cultural services and those for informal education, the Turkish immigrant’s openness toward the values promoted by the Romanian and European culture as well as the attachment toward traditions.
