THE THEORY OF INSULARITY IN UNDERSTANDING AND ELABORATION OF NEW INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN COMPOSITE SOCIETIES

Abstract

The choice to use the insular perspective as an interpretative paradigm in a study about the concept of integration, was born from precise methodological considerations. The insular theory was useful for the purposes of a comparative sociological research. In the course of my studies, I had the idea of deepening the concepts of integration and the plurality of declinations and interpretations that this concept meets. The concept of integration has been the subject of my studies and to better understand how it was interpreted by the people involved (immigrants and autochthonous) I chose as methodological tool The hermeneutical interview, elaborated in according to the principles of School of methodology of the social research of A. Marradi. With this type of tool it is possible to grasp semantic nuances that hardly the mere use of statistical analysis tools allows. Social research, therefore, is qualitative and not quantitative. What has emerged is that integration is cannot be imposed and that the intercurrent relations between immigrants and natives or between immigrants and other immigrants represent the privileged dimension for the development of new social, economic, cultural and political resources for the host society.
