Transnationalisme

Résumé

Le transnationalisme est un phénomène social, vieux de , développé à partir de l'interconnexion accrue entre les gens et l'importance économique et sociale de recul des frontières entre les États-nations. Le terme a été popularisé au début du par l'écrivain Randolph Bourne pour décrire « une nouvelle façon de penser au sujet des relations entre les cultures ». Toutefois, le terme lui-même a été inventé par un de ses collègues à l'université. Le transnationalisme ne permet l'élargissement du cadre d'étude de l'action collective qu'à partir des travaux de Joseph S. Nye, Jr. et Robert O. Keohane.

Dominicans in Switzerland : patterns, practices and impacts of transnational migration and remittances linking the Dominican Republic and Switzerland = Dominicanos en Suiza : pautas, practicas e impactos de la migracion transnacional y el envio de remesas que vinculan Republica Dominicana y Suiza

This paper presents the results of a one-year empirical study documenting the patterns, practices and impacts of transnational migration by people from the Dominican Republic (DR) to Switzerland during the years 1980 to 2005. Additionally, discussion of the transfer of remittances sent by Dominicans in Switzerland and their use and impacts on one migrant-sending community in the DR is given a special focus. This case study is an original contribution to the small but growing literature documenting contemporary migration of Latin Americans to Europe, and in particular, to Switzerland.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the way housing crisis influences the residential mobility of transnational elites in the Geneva metropolitan area. On the one hand, it is based on a quantitative research mandated by local political authorities and on the other, on the ongoing research, fieldwork and questions on which my PhD is based. The first section presents the specificities of the Geneva transborder metropolization process and the dynamics of fragmentation that the housing crisis generates. The second section exposes some preliminary results of the transnational elites’ residential mobility through the method of virtual ethnography. The last section analyses the role of public policies regarding the integration of newcomers. It appears that because of the housing crisis it is required to mobilize social networks in order to find a satisfying accommodation. Transnational elites, who are less rooted locally, don’t neglect their preference for a residence in the city centre of Geneva, according to urban lifestyles and thus develop virtual strategies of socialization in order to get integrated to the city. The public policies support the use of virtual networks and thus reinforce fragmentation between both the “international” and the “local” Geneva.

In the literature on cities and elite migration, the processes through which gentrified neighborhoods emerge and effect on urban life in terms of segregation have been widely studied. However, studies on how host societies negotiate the encounter with elite migrants in everyday life remain insufficient. Based on ethnographic work in a central neighbourhood of Geneva (Switzerland), this presentation argues that the urban footprint of United Nations expatriates is discursively contested by residents of the host society struggling against gentrification and the fear of eviction. I focus on a residents’ association located in the city center. These residents organize actions to counter the spatial impact of the expatriates that they categorize as “internationals” and whose presence is seen as a threat for their neighborhood. Expatriates’ residential choices and cosmopolitan narratives restructure the urban morphology of the city according to transnational patterns of housing architecture. The development of luxury furnished penthouses for short-term residents is contentious for members of the residents’ association. In response to these so-called “villas on the roofs”, they negotiate the encounter with the transnational elites by setting boundaries relying on spatial categorization and the affirmation of “a different housing culture”. At the crossroads of anthropology and architecture, these results not only shed light on expatriates’ impact on the urban fabric of cities where international institutions are located, they also allow for broader consideration of ideological boundary setting and the forms of resistance against cosmopolitan narratives held by transnational elites in contemporary cities.
