Narrativas de niños y niñas migrantes : Imaginarios sociales sobre ser en el mundo citadino

Abstract

The purpose of the research project is to understand, through the narratives of migrant boys and girls, the social imaginaries about being in the city world. At the Tibabuyes Universal Educational Institution, migrant children from the Atlantic Coast from municipalities and townships offer a look at the migratory experience and its process to the construction of the migrant population in a city environment through observation, interview, narration and iconography that they are participants in the project. To achieve this process, we are based on four categories that will appear throughout the research process: Social imaginaries, construction of being and culture in the city, childhood experience and migratory process. To carry out the research, a qualitative methodology was used, including techniques such as observation, interview, iconographic records and narratives, sources of information that allowed them to identify their representations, desires, affects, feelings, to reveal the social imaginaries of being in the city world of the migrant population. Social imaginary meanings were found such as: the magical world of games, urban boys and girls, fantastic friends and fear of the city.
