| Abstract | |
Turim in Italy has been a crossroads of many different migratory flows, the Senegalese presence has become significant since the mid 1980¿s. They mainly work in factories and as street traders, building their relationships and social practices (activities) "circulating" (Tarrius, 1993), periodically, between Italy and Senegal. This text on one side analyzes the ethnographical and migratory routes of these travelers, and on the other side how commercial practices take place within this context. Starting with a collection of narratives and the observations of my interlocutors practices - that have been carried out in one of the oldest and largest flea markets in Europe, called Balôn-. Theret has been an attempt to understand how trade between Italy and Senegal functions focusing on the ethos that regulates them. We have seen through field work that moral values such as jom (dignity, courage), mana (prestige), mousse (cunning), nimbale (solidarity) are integral parts of the social and working life of the Senegalese people. On the contrary to what most socio-anthropological texts on the subject suggest. The relationships are not always fair-minded and peaceful. In this respect, we have found a great deal of solidarity and alliance between traders but additionally have seen many situation of conflict. All of these change make the persepective of "mourid solidarity" more complex. Consolidated in the studies published, as regulatory principle of the interactions between migrants in the labour market. In focusing on those conflict situations and at the same time reflecting on Leyla Sall's preciuos studies (2010), a political perspective has been adopted to map out the patterns that structure and hierarchize the relationships between traders in the above mentioned context (AU) | |
