          Abstract

          En este artículo presento los resultados de una investigación que tuvo como objetivo comprender los cambios que se dan en las familias a partir de la emigración del padre o la madre y la recepción de remesas -sociales y familiares- por parte de los hijos y las hijas en la ciudad de Pereira, Colombia. La unidad de análisis fue la familia, entendida desde una perspectiva transnacional, en la que no sólo se incluye al padre o la madre migrante, sino también a los miembros que se quedan en el país de origen (hijos, hijas, tíos, tías y abuelas), quienes sostienen vínculos afectivos a través de la distancia y hacen parte de la red de apoyo, generando nuevas dinámicas familiares.

          This article presents the results of a research study that aimed at understanding the changes that take place in families as a result from the father or mother's emigration and from the reception of remittances -social and familial- by the sons or daughters living in the city of Pereira, Colombia. The unit of analysis was the family, understood from a transnational perspective, where not only the migrant father or mother is included, but also the family members remaining in the country of origin (sons, daughters, uncles, aunts and grandmothers), who maintain affective bonds through the distance and are part of the support network, thus generating new family dynamics.

          Translated abstract

          Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que visou compreender as trocas que acontecem nas famílias a partir da emigração do pai ou da mãe e a partir da recepção de remessas - sociais e familiares - por parte dos filhos e das filhas na cidade de Pereira, Colômbia. A unidade da analise foi a família, entendida como uma perspectiva transnacional, onde se inclui não somente o pai ou a mãe migrante, mas também os membros da família que ficam no país da origem (filhos, filhas, tios, tias e avós), que mantêm vínculos afetivos através da distância e participam da rede de apoio, gerando novas dinâmicas familiares.

            Social remittances: migration driven local-level forms of cultural diffusion.

            P Levitt (1998)
            "Many studies highlight the macro-level dissemination of global culture and institutions. This article focuses on social remittances--a local-level, migration-driven form of cultural diffusion. Social remittances are the ideas, behaviors, identities, and social capital that flow from receiving- to sending-country communities. The role that these resources play in promoting immigrant entrepreneurship, community and family formation, and political integration is widely acknowledged. This article specifies how these same ideas and practices are remolded in receiving countries, the mechanisms by which they are sent back to sending communities, and the role they play in transforming sending-country social and political life." The data concern migrants from the Dominican Republic to the Boston area of the United States.
