Abstract

Cosmopolitanism is a concept that is commonly attributed frequent travellers. However this concept has received little scrutiny in anthropology. Available literatures have divers opinions on expatriates' openness to cultural diversity (cultural cosmopolitans; soft cosmopolitans and metropolitan locals, etc.), but most of them stay at the conceptual level without ethnographic description to substantiate these claims. This thesis participates in this discussion by providing ethnography on professional expatriates' grounded cosmopolitanism in food consumption in Polanquito, a showcase of global gastronomy in the expatriate community in Mexico City. By bringing to light a slice of cosmopolitanism in expatriates' everyday life, I highlight two mechanisms that are at work—imaginaries and cultural capital accumulation at transnational spaces. I argues that represented foodway (transnational cosmopolitanism) and original ones are two different experiences that are likely to be conflated in the globalization discourse.

Abstract

This study examines Central Americans experience of violence in Mexico. In the context of forced migration, the Central America North Triangle (Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador) has emerged with high number of asylum seekers in all neighboring countries. Furthermore, this region has been declared as the most dangerous in the world, which is often linked to gangs’ violence. Thus, among such discourses and experience of violence, people have fled in search for protection in different countries. In this scenario, Mexico has emerged as a country of destination and transit for those people. Marked by different migratory flow, the country has been challenged to promote decent conditions for migrant and refugee protection. However, it has been observed the criminalization of migration and emergence of non-state actors that have taken advantage of this structure to make those precarious live a form of profit.In attempting to understand the challenges and State responsibility in the production of violence against asylum seekers, this study seek to establish a meeting point between their migratory experience and States protection discourses. In this purpose, it was conducted an ethnographic study focus on asylum seekers whole journey around different status, dispositive and threats. Finally, it is considered the critical state's role in the production of violence and lack of asylum seekers protection. Thus, this research considers that the production of structural violence against asylum seekers in Mexico has not only jeopardized asylum seekers protection, but also provided new forms of precarity and violence.

Abstract

The question which is the core interest of this thesis is how the super-diversity, produced as a result of intense immigration, is influencing the urban environment in terms of aesthetics and symbolics of public space. I try to analyse this issue by taking a closer look at streetscapes of Brussels, and more precisely - one of its most culturally diverse municipalities - Schaarbeek. Do migrants transfer their vernacular landscapes to their new country of residence? What relevance does it have for them and for the host society? Finally, is the presence of foreign cultural manifestations in the public space a measure of success of the politics of multiculturalism? These are the kind of questions that my research is trying to answer.

Abstract

Résumé: Les migrations sont des phénomènes présents dans toutes les sociétés. Cependant, il est toujours nécessaire de les étudier en contexte pour se rendre compte des implications qui se trouvent au-delà du parcours des hommes et des femmes qui se sont déplacés dans un ailleurs. Ainsi, contraster les représentations qu’on s’en fait avec les représentations qu’ils et elles s’en font de leur propre expérience peuvent nous aider à redéfinir la migration et les processus qui sont impliqués quand nous décidons ou nous sommes obligés à laisser nos régions d’origine, pour aller soit dans un nord, soit dans un sud. ¿D’où on part et où on arrive?, Ce sont quelques questions auxquelles nous cherchons à répondre à partir de l’histoire intime de quelques latino-américains qui habitent à Rio de Janeiro, Brésil, en prenant le sud et le nord, non comme une catégorie géographique, mais surtout comme des territoires de construction d’identités, c’est-à-dire, le Nord comme le territoire où se produit la culture hégémonique et le Sud comme le territoire de la subalternité. Ce travail a alors pour de reprendre les subjectivités de ces sujets migrants qui sont, au-delà des êtres productifs au sens capitaliste, des êtres culturels. Notre contribution, dans les études migratoires, ce situe dans un relatif vide théorique des migrations sud-sud par rapport aux migrations sud-nord. Mots clés :Migrations, migration sud-sud, post-colonialisme, decolonialisme, Amérique Latine, représentations, identité culturelle, frontières, Brésil.
