My research addresses the relations between migrants, mobility, tactics, negotiation, and the definition of borders after 9/11. The empirical focus of the thesis analyses how Brazilians from Alto ...Paranaiba perform mobility through airports located in the Schengen area including British territory in moving to London; and how, after becoming undocumented, they deal with the UK’s inner borders. I use the notion of journey and routes to explore how migration is a negotiation, where actions and skills remain an important link between the migrant and the social spaces through which s/he moves. Thus I contribute to migration and border studies by moving beyond a perspective focused exclusively on migration policies. I question to what degree the fact that borders have proliferated and discriminately filtered migrants can be understood without empirical data focused on the daily actions of these mobile people. Indeed migrants deal with and struggle against border regimes, but they are not powerless social actors. My study argues that migrants are important social actors and a key to understanding how migration takes place through border regimes. Migrants employ cunning tactics to reinvent their journey in negotiation with institutions and structures of power, which manage and delimit their movement with targets and threats. In this process, I explore migration as a process of skilled manoeuvres developed through practical knowledge and exchanges of life experiences by Brazilians in order to journey through the external and internal porosities of EU border regimes.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a importância da casa no processo migratório de brasileiros para Londres. Partindo da premissa de que a sociedade brasileira concebe o espaço privado da casa ...como um local que pode abrigar iguais e garantir a segurança de todos, em oposição ao espaço público da rua (DAMATTA, 1991), este texto busca investigar se estas características da cultura brasileira se fazem presentes, também, entre os brasileiros que se encontram fora do território nacional. Para dar corpo a esta indagação, o artigo conta com os resultados colhidos num estudo etnográfico, acompanhado de entrevistas, que vem sendo desenvolvido junto a um grupo de aproximadamente dez jovens brasileiros , além de uma bibliografia previamente selecionada .
O imigrante enquanto ator social Ao percorrer algumas das ruas e avenidas do principal centro turístico e comercial de Londres, é inevitável que o caminhante atento se surpreenda, não apenas com o ...forte poder econômico que esta área denota, mas, também, com a variedade linguística emanada do grande fluxo de pessoas que circulam pelas longas calçadas disputando uma “brecha” dentro de uma loja qualquer. Talvez a primeira impressão que o observador tenha seja a de estar imerso em um enorme fluxo...

This dissertation provides a reflection about the educational politics that aimed
at the teuton-brazilian ethnic group of Santa Catarina, during the period called Estado
Novo (1938- 1945), which became known as The Second Nationalization Campaign
of teaching. It is claimed that this governmental pedagogic attitude aspired the diffusion
of the primary school, which were supported by the state and the federal government,
throughout the teuto-brazilian cities, as if it were a vehicle that advertised the nationalist
ideals defended by the Brazilian State. Thus, this work investigate the fact that the
government concerns were related to a possible territorial fragmentation, seeing that,
according to the government, there was a fragile presence of national culture in the
south of Brasil or it may me related to a trial to eradicate any cultural trace of the
referred ethnical group that could endanger the country with nazi-facist idealisms. To
support this argumentation, this dissertation searched for documents and decrees created
at the time of Vargas government, besides studyng a bibliography which was previously
selected and studying interviews collected from students and locals of the investigated
period and place.
Esta Dissertação tem como objetivo refletir sobre a política educacional
realizada durante o período do Estado Novo (1937-1945) junto aos grupos étnicos teutobrasileiros
localizados no estado de Santa Catarina, a qual ficou conhecida como
Segunda Campanha de Nacionalização do ensino. Pretende-se compreender de que
forma esta medida pedagógica governamental visava utilizar a difusão de escolas
primárias, custeadas pelos governos federal e estadual, entre as cidades teuto-brasileiras,
como um veículo de propaganda dos ideais nacionalistas apregoados pelo Estado
brasileiro. Sobre essa premissa, propõe-se investigar se as preocupações do governo
tinham relação com uma possível fragmentação territorial, pois acusava que nas regiões
sulistas havia uma fraca presença da cultura nacional, ou se pretendia erradicar qualquer
traço cultural deste grupo étnico que pudesse comprometer o país com idéias nazifascistas.
Para dar corpo a essa indagação, a pesquisa recorreu ao estudo de documentos
e decretos-leis criados durante a gestão Vargas, além de uma bibliografia previamente
selecionada e a entrevistas com estudiosos e nativos do período histórico investigado.
