Famílias no plural: alargar o conceito, largar o preconceito

Rumor, fama e espaço vivido: uma etnografia com famílias ciganas do Algarve

“Estamos a espatifar a infância das crianças”

Entrevista a Eduardo Sá: “Estamos a espatifar a infância das crianças”:

"Preocupa-me esta ideia complemente absurda de crescimento, que dá a entender que as crianças têm que ser jovens tecnocratas de fraldas antes dos seis, têm que ser jovens tecnocratas de mochila depois dos seis e têm que ser jovens tecnocratas de sucesso ao entrarem na universidade para que, finalmente – como se fosse uma linha de montagem –, saíssem todos mestres. Mestre é a designação mais vergonhosa que eu já vi para um título académico, porque é um título que reconhecemos aos sábios."

Children, Families and the Migration Experience: Opportunities and Challenges

21/05/2010
Middlesex University, Hendon Campus
London, NW4 4BT, UK

In recent years new patterns of migration to Britain and other European states have emerged associated with, for example, EU enlargement. These have had diverse implications for family migration strategies. In contrast to historical patterns of migration which were generally perceived as involving long term or permanent settlement, this new migration often involves more transitory patterns of mobility.
Nevertheless, short term stay may be extended over time often leading to family reunion and family formation. The impact of this new migratory strategies, especially on children, is beginning to be explored by
researchers and to spark interest among policy makers and service providers as they respond to new needs, for example of new arrivals in schools. This conference will bring together research on a range of issues
relevant to this new phenomenon.

Specific themes will include:
* Current migration patterns, family strategies and family reunion
* Migrants from the new EU states
* The emotional impact of migration
* New arrivals and the transition to schooling
* Migration, education and parental expectations
* Language acquisition, language transition and bi-lingualism

Anthropology of Children Working Group (Seminars VU Amsterdam)

The Contours of Belonging: Legality, Race, Class and Generation in the US
Lecture by Dr. Irene Bloemraad (University of California, Berkeley) followed by discussion.
15 April 2010 – 14.30-16.30 hrs
Venue: VU University Amsterdam, Metropolitan Building, Room Z-113
Abstract: Of the more than 38 million foreign-born residents of the United States, roughly a third are naturalized US citizens, a third are legal permanent residents and a third are undocumented migrants without legal papers. The children of these people, if born in the United States, are automatically US citizens. Traditional accounts of political socialization expect that these children will learn about politics and civic engagement from their parents. But what happens when parents are immigrants, especially when their legal status prevents direct participation in the formal political system?

CFP: Familles transnationales au quotidien

Revue Autrepart: ce numéro, à paraître en mars 2011 (1/2011), est coordonné par Élodie Razy (Anthropologue, Université de Liège) et Virginie Baby-Collin (Géographe, Université de Provence).

Les propositions de contributions (titre, résumé de 1.500 signes maximum) peuvent être adressées à autrepart@ird.fr jusqu’au 12 Avril 2010.

Dans un contexte marqué par l’intensification des migrations internationales et par leur résonnance sociale et politique, au Nord comme au Sud, ce numéro se propose d’articuler famille et migration à partir des terrains et des configurations les plus divers, et de réfléchir à la notion de « famille transnationale ». Il accordera une attention particulière aux travaux qui seront issus d’études de terrain et qui interrogeront cette notion soi au niveau des représentations et des pratiques des protagonistes soi au niveau théorique et méthodologique.

CFP: Changing Families in a Changing World

CRFR 3rd International Conference
University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK
16th-18th June 2010
We live in times of enormous change on personal and global levels. Families are more diverse and more likely to change, with divorce, separation, stepfamilies, international adoption, increased life expectancy in some parts of the world and decreased in others, and a growing divide between rich and poor at local and global levels all becoming more prevalent. What happens to families in this changing word? How do they deal with the way in which global changes impact upon their lives? What do we know about these changes and how they play out in and across different parts of the globe?
