Os venezuelanos em Dourados: processos migratórios e suas territorialidades

Abstract

The present study aims to discuss the migratory processes, territoriality, economic, religious and cultural factors established by Venezuelans in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. The general objective was to understand the construction of territories and territorialities of Venezuelans residing in Dourados, based on their social and cultural relations. The empirical analytical approach is the internalized Venezuelans, the causes of migration and the search for work. The methodological procedure used was the oral source, with data collected through semi-structured interviews about life stories and the migration period, added to the description during the time of coexistence and the experiences witnessed and observed in the work environment and in Igreja Luz do Mundo Mundial Missão 01 Dourados. And also interviews with people and religious initiatives that helped in the interiorization. The analysis carried out pointed out, as a result, that the Venezuelans internalized and residing in Dourados, are spatially spread in a diffuse and decentralized way, along the edges of the urban periphery of Dourados. In addition, it was possible to observe cultural elements and social, affective and religious bonds that are elements of the process of construction of Venezuelan territoriality in Dourados, MS.
