Thus, based on the concept of relational citizenship (Staheli et al., 2012), I present an Ethnography carried out from 2019 to 2022 in a Cultural Center, founded by African migrants in the city of São Paulo. More specifically, I draw attention to the center’s creation through Mamadou’s trajectory, the owner of the center, to highlight how mobility infrastructures play a decisive role in mediating migrant’s everyday life through many places, actors, and scales expanding their “sustainability of life”, materially and immaterially. I argue that these ordinary spaces are not politically inconsequential for the city or for the migrants. Rather, it shows how mobility and the city are entangled among many mediations that go beyond State, presenting local protagonists, (in)formal networks, and a sense of belonging that constantly reshapes Citizenship. 2023 artículo científico 1980-8585 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=407075230013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4070/407075230013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4070/407075230013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4070/407075230013/407075230013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4070/407075230013/movil 10.1590/1980-85852503880006713 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4070 REMHU - Revista Interdisciplinar da Mobilidade Humana application/pdf Centro Scalabriniano de Estudos Migratórios REMHU - Revista Interdisciplinar da Mobilidade Humana (Brasil) Num.67 Vol.31 |
