Sobre o modelo familiar de Iê e seu devir na contemporaneidade: deslocamentos e resiliência

Abstract

My objective here is to expound a plausible outlook of the notion of ie, associated to a model of traditional family organization as well as to a idea of ‘house’, in the modern Japan and its come about in the context of the immigration to Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century, and afterwards in the context of de transnational dynamics linked to globalization. Then, from some empirical cases of nikkeis who actually live in Pernambuco and Bahia, I’ll explore how this ie project is still operative at this contemporaneity marked by an increasing mobility, and also how, in those specific cases, this concept is resignificated as the consecution of a social project mainly based on kinship relationships including several members of the family group involving several strategies tending to organize and guarantee its perpetuation
