Doctoral Dissertation Research: Social Construction of Difference in Granada, Spain

9411667科利尔这个项目是一位来自加州斯坦福的文化人类学专业学生的毕业论文研究。该项目将研究西班牙格拉纳达的居民如何根据最近的社会和政治变化理解他们的法律和文化(种族)身份。这名学生将采访一代人前移民到北欧然后又回来的西班牙人，并将他们与最近移民到西班牙的摩洛哥血统的西班牙人进行比较。这两个群体在他们迁徙的地方都被认为在文化上“落后”，现在都是扩大后的欧洲经济共同体的一部分。该项目将描述这些人如何通过口述历史、参与者观察和档案研究来理解地中海的“重新接壤”。这项研究很重要，因为它将揭示一个国家的种族关系发生的变化，这个国家以前被认为更具外国色彩，但现在更紧密地融入了欧洲共同体。了解人们如何改变他们在不同地方的“宾至如归”的感觉，将有助于规划者制定计划，让外国人更好地融入东道国社会。

9411667 Collier This project is the dissertation research of a cultural anthropology student from Stanford, California. The project will examine how residents of Granada, Spain understand their legal and cultural (ethnic) identities in light of recent social and political changes. The student will interview Spaniards who migrated to northern Europe a generation ago and returned, and compare them to Spaniards of Moroccan ancestry who migrated to Spain more recently. Both groups were considered culturally "inferior" in the place they migrated to, and now are part of the expanded European Economic Community. The project will describe how these people understand the "rebordering" of the mediterranean through an examination of oral histories, participant observation, archival research. This research is important because it will illuminate the changes in ethnic relations in a country that was previously thought to be more foreign but is now more tightly integrated into the European community. Understanding how people change their sense of being "at home" in different places will help planners develop programs to better integrate foreigners into host societies.
