Historia de la migración japonesa en Argentina. Diasporización y transnacionalismo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Contrario a la caracterización tradicional de migración como experiencia de desarraigo, ruptura, se la ha comenzado a ver como proceso de diasporización, en términos de Roger Brubaker, priorizando la persistencia de una identidad cultural que une lugar de origen y destino. La creciente movilidad espacial de la población ha generado la necesidad de replantear el estudio de la historia de la migración. Tradicionalmente se partía de las historias nacionales, ya sea la de la comunidad receptora o la del lugar de origen y se estudiaba en particular su impacto socio-económico. Las prácticas transnacionales, el uso de expresiones culturales como “marcas étnicas” en procesos de diasporización, nos obligan a ampliar el campo de observación. En el caso de la comunidad japonesa, se presentarán aquí sus orígenes, el rol del gobierno japonés y sus objetivos al promover la preservación de la identidad cultural japonesa, no siempre coincidentes con los de la propia comunidad. También se pone atención a la heterogeneidad de la cultura japonesa considerando el caso de la cultura okinawense. Por último, se observará la experiencia de los argentinos de origen japonés en Japón, a través de la cual es posible observar el proceso de construcción de la propia identidad.
During the 1980s, migration was understood in terms of the images presented in works like Oscar Handlin’s The Uprooted. More recently, our understanding of migration has been influenced by Rogers Brubaker’s works on diasporas and “diasporization”. The main element considered by Brubaker was the persistence of a cultural identity as a continuum from the point of departure to the point of arrival. Recently, the improvements in communication and technology have made spatial mobility possible, thus creating a need to review theoretical approaches to the history of migration. Until recent times, nation–states were considered the proper framework for the study of this phenomenon. Researchers show special interest in the impact of migration in socio-economic structures. Transnational practices and the uses of “ethnic markers” make us think about the cultural side of diásporas, government policies to preserve national identities, the goals of the migrant communities themselves and their experiences in the construction of ethnic identities of their own. We also consider the heterogeinity of Japanese culture and present the case of Okinawan culture. Lastly, we introduce the experience of Argentinians of Japanese descent in Japan and how they construct a new identity.
