Abstract
El objetivo de este articulo es describir de manera general la tecnica de investigacion Foto-voz y valorar si ampliar los alcances de esta tecnica, al tema de migracion de retorno, nos ayuda a comprender el rol que juegan las trayectorias migratorias, el lenguaje, el estigma y la identidad en las aspiraciones educacionales de los jovenes de retorno en la Universidad Autonoma de Sinaloa (UAS). Asimismo, es nuestro objetivo presentar los principales hallazgos en las tres categorias de analisis propuestas: las trayectorias migratorias, el estigma- identidad, y las aspiraciones educativas de los jovenes retornados. Utilizamos el instrumento de la Foto-Voz, la cual es una tecnica de investigacion cualitativa, de muestreo intencional y de accion participante. Participaron jovenes de retorno, jovenes sin experiencia migratoria y profesores y profesoras de la Facultad de Estudios Internacionales y Politicas Publicas de la UAS en Culiacan, Sinaloa, en un taller de fotografia donde expresan sus experiencias migratorias, su identidad y sus aspiraciones educativas por medio de fotos y pequenas narrativas. Se reclutaron 15 participantes, por medio de invitacion directa, difusion de informacion del taller de fotografia y por medio de bola de nieve. Dentro de los resultados podemos destacar que ampliar el alcance de Foto-voz al tema de migracion de retorno de jovenes, tiene utilidad al proporcionar a los y las recien llegadas herramientas para expresar su identidad (todavia incomprensible para ellos) con representaciones simbolicas a traves de fotografias. Sus testimonios reflejan una introspeccion y un esfuerzo de autoconocimiento sobre sus sentimientos y perspectivas. Con esta tecnica identificamos y priorizamos situaciones de exclusion e inclusion en las trayectorias migratorias y en el proceso de inmersion en la universidad de los jovenes retornados.The objective of this article is to describe in a general way the Photo-voice research tecnique and assess whether extending the scope of this tecnique to the issue of return migration helps us to understand the role played by migratory trajectories, language, stigma and identity in the educational aspirations of returning youth at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS). Likewise, it is our objective to present the main findings in three categories of analysis: migratory trajectories, stigma-identity, and the educational aspirations of young returnees. Methodology: Foto-Voz is a technique of qualitative research, non-representative sampling and participatory action. Participated in a photography workshop: young people of returned, young people without migratory experience and professors from the Faculty of International Studies and Public Policies of the UAS in Culiacan, Sinaloa, where they express their migratory experiences and their educational aspirations through photos and small narratives. 15 participants were recruited, through direct invitation, dissemination of information from the photography workshop and by a snowball. Findings: Extending the scope of the Fotovoz to the issue of return migration of young people, is useful in providing newcomers with tools to express their identity (still incomprehensible to them) with symbolic representations through photographs. Their testimonies reflect an introspection and an effort of self-knowledge about their feelings and perspectives. Under this methodology we identify and prioritize situations of exclusion and inclusion in migratory trajectories and in the process of immersion in the university of the young returned.
