Identity Configuration In The Territories Of International Migrants

Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical and analytical approach to the accuracy of social scale related to concepts of belonging, identification and appropriation of territory by subjects in studies of international migration. Beyond thinking in Transnationalism, my arguments emphasize the process of territorialization realized by migrants and non-migrants in a precise time-space, thereby creating a heritage of geographical identity, instilled in the symbolic value of territory. In conclusion, I maintain the importance of territory related to a socio-cultural and spatial level in migration.
