Resumo:
Contemporary international forced migrations and their implications underscore our
interdependence as subjects as well as countries. Within the scope of transnational migrations,
the increase in the migratory flow of Venezuelans to Brazil due to the political, social and
economic crisis in Venezuela has generated complex and multidimensional debates on this
topic. In this dissertation we seek to understand the dynamics of this migratory experience, its
subjectivities and path interactions, as well as the demands and directions that may emerge
from this social reality. More specifically, we propose to analyze the narratives of
Venezuelans who migrated to Campina Grande-PB, to identify and scrutinize the field of
research, aiming to understand how all the characteristics, paths, experiences and narratives
that these migrants carry can influence interactions and local integration processes.
Connecting the paths of the theories that we propose to discuss and the paths that will be
unveiled by the empirical, we also seek to identify the social stigmas and how they interfere in
the social relations established by these migrants. This research has a qualitative character and
fits into the Culture and Identities research line. In an analysis dialogue between social
discourses and what ethnography points out, this dissertation sets out to investigate, analyze
and discuss transnational immigration to the interior of Paraíba, a region previously
permeated by intense exodus and emigration. From the analysis carried out in this research,
we conclude (1) that the origin of the migrant influences their migratory experiences, (2) that
migrants are stigmatized and this interferes in their daily lives in Campina Grande-PB, (3) that
indigenous migrants have greater difficulty of interaction and integration, (4) that the
narratives, experiences and characteristics that these migrants carry influence their
interactions and integration in the city, showing a categorization by several local social
groups.
