Brazilian Migrations: Social and Cultural Networks between Brazil and Japan
2008年12月3日 • リリ・カワムラ
IntroductionMy presentation is based on field research conducted by the author, with the support of the Japan Foundation (2002), along with UNICAMP-FE, among groups of Brazilian migrant workers in several Japanese cities (Hamamatsu, Toyota, Oizumi, Ota, Toyohashi, and Nagano) and in the Brazilian cities of Londrina, Maringá, and São Paulo. My goal is to show, through changes that have taken place during the course of more than twenty years of migrations, the formation of networks and the role they play …
The Myth of the Eternal Return
2008年11月18日 • セリア・アベ・オオイ
Statistical data for 2007 reveal that more than 300,000 Brazilians are currently working in Japan, exceeding the nearly 250,000 Japanese that have arrived here since the beginning of Japanese immigration to Brazil one hundred years ago. According to that same data, approximately 30% of those will probably never return to Brazil – individuals who had originally left with the goal to “make money and return” to their native land. Of interest: that same situation had already been experienced by their …
Brazilians in Japan
2008年11月4日 • エリーザ・マサエ・ササキ
The Brazilians went to Japan since the middle of the 1980s, at the end of 20th century, looking for a dream, moved by hope, for a better life. In this same period, many other Brazilians also went to other destinations around the world: United States, Paraguay, and Europe. Many Latin-Americans from border countries close to Brazil and other foreigners, such as Koreans, Chinese, and Angolans came to Brazil in the last decades, making the scenario of population dislocation around the …
Children returning or arriving from Japan: Challenges and proposals
2008年10月21日 • 中川 郷子
Within the context of international migrations and specifically within the dekasegi migratory movements (Brazilians workers in Japan), we can highlight their effects on the emotional and cognitive development of children, while remembering that those children are passive participants of this movement—it’s not up to them to decide to go to Japan, to remain there, or to return to Brazil, even though they suffer every consequence of this migration. The children who remain in Brazil while their parents go to work …
The Brazilian Media Landscape in Japan
2008年10月8日 • アンドレイア・フェレイア
The Brazilian media in Japan, as well as most of the world’s communication processes, has undergone accelerated growth followed by significant diversification and segmentation. In the more than two-decade-old dekasegi migration movement—during which groups of Brazilian immigrants were slowly transformed into a socially articulated community—the media has been accompanying this expansion while going through constant modifications, whether in the printed press, audio and video means of communication, and the Web. To fully understand the current landscape of the Brazilian media …
The Dynamic Life of Migrants Between Brazil and Japan
2008年9月19日 • 二宮 正人
The year 2008 has been characterized by celebrations of the centenary of Japanese immigration to Brazil and as the Year of the Brazil-Japan Exchange. The media in both countries have widely divulged the various events, but we can affirm that the Brazilian press has taken advantage of the occasion to divulge not only centenary-related stories but also to present stories about elements of Japanese culture of interest to Brazilians. Additionally, numerous books have been published on the subject. If on …
