Diásporas, viagens, e alteridades: as experiências familiares dos palestinos no extremo-sul do Brasil

"Diasporas, Travels and Alterities: The Palestinian's familiar experiences at Brazil's extreme south" is a part of a study about arabian's families migratory experience that came to Brazil in the late 50. This work treats about families that move to Chuí city in the late 60's and still living there, though they keeps relatives at Santa Vitória do Palmar, Pelotas, Rio Grande and others cities in the south of Rio Grande do Sul. The families uses to expose the connections that they keep with exterior, sons studying at palestina, or that made great part of formal education outside, at Canada, England, United States and Argentina. The sons had a singular experience of international transit, as educational investment, as way to increase the familiar links that remains out of Brazil. For that, they use to travel visiting relatives, join familiar parties, especially engagements and marriages, by this way, they make feasible an informal education that they call be according their "costumes". Also they use to travel for periods of living outside Brazil. I analyze the relates of who realized international travels, specially the migrant's sons relates, the first Brazilian generation. For them, this is not a "come-back" travel, because sometimes there is nothing to recognize there. I analyze the "travel" through the suggestion of Oliveira Filho (1994), who takes the "travel" as a migrant important auto-reflexive enunciation experience. As the pilgrimages, travels are moments that allows to build socio cultural units linking persons and situations that before did not recognize each other. I emphasize, the travel, planned and proportioned by the family, as young people "initiation" to the origin theme. Far from an individual experience, casual an available to everyone, travels are according with an collective produced social situation and that dispose the person to an unalienable experience about alterities.
