How does integration materialise in interactions and practices of everyday life of residents within theirneighbourhood in a superdiverse context?

一体化是一个备受争议和政治化的概念。它具有不同的，而且往往是相互矛盾的含义。在我的研究中，我挑战传统的融合方法，这些方法基于将一部分整合到整体，将移民整合到社会中，或者将他们整合到我们中。我重新思考整合，通过有意识地认识学术批评，并从探索替代概念的尝试中学习。我的目标是开发一种替代方法来研究整合作为一个超级多样化的人口之间的日常生活中发生的相互作用在城市空间。因此，我不框集成作为一个积极的最终目标移民努力获得。相反，我感兴趣的是将整合作为一种动态的、在人们的日常生活中不断塑造的、在他们的互动和实践中具体化的、在空间中配置的东西来研究。由此，我得出我的核心研究问题：如何整合实现在theirneighborhood在一个超多元化的背景下，在日常生活中的居民的互动和实践？为了解决这个问题，我开发了一种方法，这种方法对超级多样性和邻里环境敏感，能够捕捉日常做法，并将居民视为整合的代理人。我的方法论探索了整合的三个维度，居民的叙述，他们的实践和这些所处的空间。我将在欧洲首都的两个不同的市中心街区进行实地考察，即马德里的Embajadores和布鲁塞尔的Molenbeek。这将涉及在整个实地研究期间住在两个社区，每个社区四个月。在此期间，在两个社区中的每一个，我将与四名核心参与者进行10次同行，前往他们日常生活的一部分，参与观察从同行期间访问的空间中选择的四个空间，并与这些空间的其他用户进行10次简短的聊天。

Integration is a highly contested and politicised concept. It carries different, and often, contradictory meanings. Inmy research, I challenge conventional approaches to integration which are based on integrating a part to a whole,migrants to a society, or them to us. I rethink integration, through consciously recognising academic criticisms andlearning from attempts to explore alternative concepts. I aim to develop an alternative approach to studyingintegration as interactions taking place in the everyday life within an urban space among superdiverse population.Hence, I do not frame integration as a positive end goal migrants strive to acquire. Instead, I am interested instudying integration as a dynamic, continuously shaped in people's everyday lives, materialised in their interactionsand practices and configured within space. From this, I derive my core research question:How does integration materialise in interactions and practices of everyday life of residents within theirneighbourhood in a superdiverse context?To tackle this question, I have developed a methodology that is sensitive to superdiversity and neighbourhoodcontexts and capable of capturing everyday practices and framing the residents as agents of integration. Mymethodology explores three dimensions of integration, the narratives of the residents, their practices and thespaces in which these are situated. I will conduct fieldwork in two diverse inner-city neighbourhoods in Europeancapital cities, Embajadores in Madrid and Molenbeek in Brussels. This will involve living in the two neighbourhoodsfor the entire period of the field research, four months each. During this period, in each of the two neighbourhoods,I will conduct 10 go-alongs with four core informants to spaces they go to as part of their everyday life, participatoryobservations of four space selected from spaces visited during the go-alongs and ten brief chats with other usersof these spaces.
