Summary: The article addresses the relationships between migrations, gender, and family dynamics, focusing on the Creole society of Cape Verde. Based on field research data from Boa Vista Island, from which many women have emigrated to Italy to work as housemaids, I reflect on the constructions of family dynamics in a territorial and relational space that is not restricted to people who reside in physical proximity. In a process that I denominate making family, networks of support and solidarity to which people constantly turn, people come and go between the two localities. This is the result of long-term planning that obeys both the Cape Verdean logic that to grow it is necessary to leave and the adaptability of projects of mobility to the labor market and Italian immigration law.

Baseado em dados de pesquisa de campo na Ilha da Boa Vista, na qual mulheres emigram para a Itália para o trabalho como empregadas domésticas, reflito sobre as construções das dinâmicas familiares num espaço territorial e relacional que não se restringe às pessoas que residem próximas fisicamente. Num processo que denomino de fazer família, as redes de apoio e de solidariedade são constantemente acionadas em um ir e vir de pessoas entre as duas localidades, que é resultado de planeamentos a longo prazo, obedecendo tanto à lógica cabo-verdiana de que para crescer é preciso sair, quanto à adequaçãodos projetos de mobilidade aos limites do mercado de trabalho e da legislação italiana para imigrantes. Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2020-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2020237.07https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2020237.07Análise Social; Vol. 55 N.º 237 (2020); 840-8662182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23458https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23458/840-866Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza Lobo, Andréa2024-03-16T06:17:44Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/23458Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:01:15.744723Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
