Las diásporas transnacionales: ¿una nueva era o un nuevo mito?

Transnational diasporas: a new era or a new myth?

Las innumerables situaciones sin precedentes que se vinculan hoy en día al concepto de diáspora transnacional, han suscitado un debate en torno al hecho mismo de si este fenómeno señala o no el nacimiento de una nueva era. Nosotros afirmamos que sí representa la expresión de un nuevo tipo de heterogeneización, tanto de la realidad social como de las diásporas en sí mismas como entidades mundiales. Desde esta perspectiva dialéctica describimos las diásporas transnacionales como causas de discontinuidad en nuestro mundo y destacamos el cambio cualitativo en los tejidos sociales que ellas representan. La cualidad de tener un lugar de residencia dual o triple, propia de la condición transnacional, significa para quienes viven la diáspora, un alejamiento del carácter totalizador inherente al compromiso y concepto de nación que el Estado-nación exige a sus ciudadanos. Cuando se observa en su multiplicidad la cohabitación bajo el mismo techo social de entidades socioculturales que son ajenas, a priori se da lugar a una configuración que no es igual en cada escenario, pero que sí corresponde en lo esencial a la nueva realidad que muchos experimentan en la sociedad contemporánea. Para ilustrar esta perspectiva, el presente trabajo compara cuatro diásporas transnacionales contemporáneas muy conocidas: la musulmana, la africana, la hispana y la china.... view less

The numberless unprecedented situations attached today to the concept of transnational diaspora arise the debate of whether or not this phenomenon signals a new era. Our own contention is that it does represent a factor of new kinds of heterogenization of both the societal reality and of the diasporas themselves, as worldwide entities. It is in this dialectic perspective that we describe transnational diasporas as causes of discontinuity in our world and point out to the qualitative change in the social fabrics that they represent. Among other aspects, dual or threefold homeness that is bound to the transnational condition signifies for diasporans a slipping away from the totalistic character of the commitment and view of the nation that the nation-state requires of its citizens. When viewed in its multiplicity, the cohabitation under the same societal roof of a priori alien socio-cultural entities yields a configuration that is not uniform in every setting, but which still responds in its essentials to the new reality experienced by many a contemporary society. To illustrate this approach, this paper compares four well-known contemporary transnational diasporas namely, the Muslim, African, Hispanic and Chinese.... view less
