| description | This article explores transational practices of Colombian migrants which convey in the purchase of real estate in Colombia from France. The mobilization of social and economic resources among migrants and their close circles will be analyzed, as well as the representations and expectations that are built around the acquisition of housing. These houses, which are not yet physically inhabited by migrants - and possibly will never be - are of great symbolic importance in the migratory project: They give meaning to the road travelled, with their sacrifices and obstacles, and they constantly update the medium and long-term projections regarding a probable return to the country of origin. Different questions structure the analysis: How is the purchase of housing inscribed in the individual and family migration project? In what ways are non-migrants involved in the purchase and subsequent maintenance of the property? To what extent do resourcefulness actions, embedded in transnational social networks, facilitate the production and circulation of the necessary economic capital to carry out the transaction? |

Este artículo explora prácticas transnacionales que confluyen en la compra de bienes inmuebles en Colombia desde Francia. Analizaré la movilización de recursos sociales y económicos entre los migrantes y sus círculos cercanos, así como las representaciones y expectativas que se tejen alrededor de la adquisición de vivienda. Estas casas, que aún no son habitadas físicamente por los y las migrantes —y que posiblemente nunca lo serán— revisten una gran importancia simbólica en el proyecto migratorio: dan sentido al camino recorrido, con sus sacrificios y obstáculos, y reactualizan constantemente las proyecciones a mediano y largo plazo a propósito de un eventual retorno al país. Diferentes interrogantes estructuran el análisis: ¿cómo se inscribe la compra de vivienda en el proyecto migratorio individual y familiar? ¿De qué maneras se involucran los no migrantes en la compra y posterior mantenimiento del inmueble? ¿En qué medida las acciones de rebusque, imbricadas en redes sociales transnacionales, facilitan la producción y circulación del capital económico necesario para concretar la transacción? Este artigo explora práticas transnacionais que confluem na compra de bens imóveis na Colômbia desde a França. Analisarei a mobilização de recursos sociais e econômicos entre os migrantes e seus círculos próximos, assim como as representações e expectativas que se tecem ao redor da aquisição de vivenda. Estas casas, que ainda não são habitadas fisicamente pelos migrantes – e que possivelmente nunca o serão – revistem uma grande importância simbólica no projeto migratório: elas dão um sentido ao caminho recorrido, com seus sacrifícios e seus obstáculos, e reatualizam constantemente as projeções a médio e longo prazo a propósito de um eventual retorno ao país. Diferentes interrogantes estruturam a análise: como se inscreve a compra de vivenda no projeto migratório individual e familiar? De que maneiras se envolvemos não migrantes na compra e posterior manutenção do imóvel? Em que medida as ações de procura, imbricadas em redes sociais transnacionais, facilitam a produção e circulação do capital económico necessário para concretar a transação? 2019-07-01 2022-03-22T19:01:51Z 2022-03-22T19:01:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7731 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.7731 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/96511 spa https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7731/7169 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7731/7420 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7731/7421 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7731/7422 Derechos de autor 2019 Territorios application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Territorios; No. 41 (2019): (July-December) International Mobility, Settlement and Configurations Emerging Territorials; 101-118 Territorios; Núm. 41 (2019): (julio-diciembre) Movilidad internacional, poblamiento y configuraciones territoriales emergentes; 101-118 2215-7484 0123-8418 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/num41.2019 |
