L’esperienza di migrazione familiare è caratterizzata da presenze molteplici: nel qui, nel contesto di vita quotidiana e d’immigrazione, e nel là, nel Paese d’origine. Sono presenze che si intrecciano, con configurazioni complesse e molteplici, nella distanza: sfidano i confini, non solo quelli fisici tra nazioni diverse, ma anche quelli culturali, tessendo trame esistenziali e relazionali che si snodano entro cornici interculturali, muovendosi costantemente e creando punti d’incontro tra quel qui e quel là. È entro tale prospettiva transnazionale che si dispiegano i percorsi di crescita delle nuove generazioni dell’immigrazione, traiettorie esistenziali che si elaborano e rielaborano nell’intersecarsi di appartenenze plurali, di memorie e orizzonti differenti, ma anche di legami e relazioni molteplici, coltivati tra distanze e presenze. Relazioni come quelle intergenerazionali, che intrecciano le esperienze della generazione anziana e di quella più giovane: legami fatti di vite distanti e affetti presenti, ma anche di culture lontane e quotidiane presenze.

Abstract

The family migration experience is characterised by multiple presences: here, within the context of everyday life and immigration, and there, in the country of origin. These presences intertwine, with complex and multiple configurations, over the distance. They challenge borders - physical borders between different nations, as well as cultural ones - weaving existential and relational networks which outspread in intercultural contexts, constantly moving and creating meeting points between the here and there. It is within such transnational perspective that the new generations’ pathways of growth unfold. Their existential trajectories are shaped and re-shaped in light of the interlacing of plural sense of belonging, of different memories and horizons, of multiple ties and relationships, cultivated in person and across the distance. Relationships such as intergenerational ones, where the strands of older and younger generations’ life experiences are woven together; bonds are built between distant and present loved ones, against the background of distant cultures and people’s daily presence.
