Revisiting Migrant Networks
This open access book analyses the specificities of social networks of migrants and children of migrants, thereby focusing on those aspects which may
Other ‘lenses’
The article describes the approach adopted in VeSTA, a training project in Piedmont (north-west Italy), funded by the EU's Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration (FAMI 2014–2020). The aim of the project was to provide training for social workers and others professionals working with refugees and other migrants, and strengthen the network linking up these various actors. Our theoretical approach stresses the importance of asylum seekers’ socia…
Assimilation, Segmented
Since the 1990s, the theory of segmented assimilation has had enormous influence on theorizing about the children of immigrants and the way they become incorporated into a society of immigration. It rejects the idea that assimilation is a straight line and that becoming more similar to natives (e.g., “more American”) is necessarily the way to social mobility, arguing that it can also have negative effects. This entry describes the theory and the …
Integrating via networks
The article analyses some general network mechanisms underlying the formation of social ties in order to argue that it is not only identity, cultural similarity or discrimination which creates clusters of people of the same 'origin' (in, say, friendship groups). Widely held assumptions about the logic underlying ethnic segregation are challenged and it is argued that migration itself leads to a re-organization of social networks which can produce…
Some sociological Bases of transnational Practices in Italy
Les différents groupes de migrants montrent des niveaux de transnationalisme très variables. Si on refuse le « nationalisme méthodologique » il semble nécessaire d’enquêter aussi sur des cas « négatifs » qui devraient faire la lumière sur les conditions nécessaires pour maintenir des unités stables à travers les frontières. L’article s’appuie sur des entretiens avec des migrants roumains et marocains en Italie pour explorer les raisons des nivea…
Sociabilite et diffusion des technologies de la communication
Cet article traite de la diffusion des nouvelles technologies de la communication dans une population souvent caracterisee par ses « resistances » aux innovations techniques, celle des retraites. Il s’interroge, dans un premier temps, sur le role joue dans cette diffusion par un type particulier de lien social, le lien familial intergenerationnel, en etudiant tour a tour la circulation de l’information entre les generations (en concluant qu’il y …
Is friendship a sociological topic
Sociologists have shown little interest in friendship. The rather fragmentary empirical work which does exist on friendship in modern society paradoxically tends to confirm the impression that the subject is of marginal importance; for friendship emerges from much research as a relationship which provides emotional support and small services but little else. Admittedly, there is also evidence indicating links with more classical sociological them…
Deux traditions d'analyse des reseaux sociaux
Cet article prend comme point de départ les deux traditions qui, dans le domaine sociologique, intéressent les réseaux et dont les convergences empiriques, les idéaux théoriques et les méthodes diffèrent totalement. De tendance dominante, l'analyse des réseaux « structuraliste » s'attache surtout aux descriptions qui, en termes relationnels, redistribuent les rôles des objets sociologiques. Cependant, il existe également une tradition minoritaire…
