Abstract

This thesis studies the Brazilian international migration of Japanese descendents and their spouses from Brazil to Japan. The main approach is the discussion about the movement of migrant introduction, known as \"dekassegui\", in the geographic space, not only by way of work, but by the way of consumption, one of variable keys of actual period that we live. The process of modernization, consequence of capitalism development, and modernity project, cross over territories along the time, producing inequality in social-spaces. The spaces and countries denser of capital or able to receive this density end up attracting these populations, from places and peripheral countries in crisis. The emergency of this modern way of life in consonance with these spaces is also an important agent to be considered in the explanation of migratory movement. This thesis searches to demonstrate that the \"dekassegui\" movement, known as a life movement, finds great difficulties of real integration inside the territory of present world. (AU)
