| 要約: | Over the past decades, several research inquiries have attempted to address the implications of international migration on social and family nuclei in both migrants’ countries of origin and destination. These projects have established positive and negative consequences beyond economic repercussions. Stemming from this perspective, the objective of this research is to ascertain elementary-school children’s perceptions of migration as well as the meanings that they ascribe to it. The technique -employed with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in the states of Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacán, Yucatán, and Zacatecas- consisted of a thematic drawing regarding the relationship between migration and family as well as the development of a brief story related to the drawing. Content analysis of 664 drawings revealed four main themes. The first focuses the concept of migration from the participants' perspectives; the second deals with the contrast between the place of origin and destination; the third focuses on the US-Mexico border crossing; and the fourth discusses the positive and negative aspects that participants attribute to migration. The results emphasize that children perceive the phenomenon as something real: as part of their everyday lives and as a tangible part of their immediate surroundings. However, there are still pending agendas such as the construction of more positive systemic strategies and interventions to deal with negative effects and to help building healthier family environments in contexts of widespread international migration. |
