Repensando as migrações a partir de um arcabouço processual multiescalar

Abstract

Recent changes in the migratory patterns exhibited by various populations ask for new analytical approaches that make it possible to grasp these processes theoretically and conceptually. It is believed that migrations can be better understood if we direct our attention simultaneously to the transitions that individuals, families and populations go through. The aim of this paper is to present a conceptual framework that condenses the theoretical-explanatory aspects of the relationship between migration and transitions that occur throughout the individual, household and population life cycle. Methodologically, we seek to integrate the assumptions developed by unique level approaches in the same conceptual framework.
