Abstract

KLEIDERMACHER, Gisele. “De la ilusión al desencanto": Senegaleses en Buenos Aires y la construcción de representaciones respecto a su migración. Runa [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.1, pp.89-104. ISSN 1851-9628.

The article reflects on the social representations that young Senegalese who arrived in Argentina over the last two decades construct regarding their migration. I understand social representations as a particular type of knowledge that influences individual’s behavior and communication. On this basis, I reflect on the expectations and perspectives of the protagonists on various social, cultural, economic, historical and family conditions that have influenced their migration projects in numerous ways.

Keywords : Senegalese migration; Subsaharian Africa; Social representations; Autonomous City of Buenos Aires; Migration strategies.
