Multiterritorialidades e estratégias de mobilidade internacional e interna das famílias indígenas Warao em Alagoas

Abstract

The aim of this study is to focus on issues related to migratory processes from a geographical perspective and with the concept of multi-territorialities, which are in line with migratory processes within a plurality of processes generated both from the perspective of political and economic domination and from the idea of cultural and identity appropriation. To this end, the documentary and transdisciplinary analysis of the construction of relationships in the international and internal mobility strategies of indigenous Warao Venezuelan families in Alagoas is the subject of the study and points to sensitive issues such as loss of identity, the need for re-signification, modification of spaces and cultural changes/shocks suffered by the families. The process of territorialization of the indigenous communities is shown through the intense flow of mobility of the indigenous Warao across the national territory and the concept of multi-territoriality, based on spontaneity in search of better living conditions, access to food, respect for specificities, the possibility of jobs, access to health (from the perspective of the concept of health-disease) and the need to reunite with relatives. From this perspective of analysis, it is necessary to develop a geographical study of the mobility strategies and current spatial and social integration conditions of the Warao groups, through geographical, documentary, bibliographical and transdisciplinary analysis, with the possibility of understanding the group's internal logic, cultural values and representations of its history, specific themes and relations between individuals, institutions (instrumentalization of migration policy) and social movements.
