European immigrants and Venezuelan migrants

entered in the alterity since living. Lived and memoriated in a neighborhood house

Abstract

Venezuela suffers for the first time an intense process of emigration motivated by multiple factors. In particular, a media campaign impregnated with aggressiveness and distortions that significantly affects the sensitivity and idiosyncrasies of Venezuelans stands out. The various geographical destinations have been those of the American continent, perhaps because of the familiarity of the language, customs and similar traditions, coupled with having the pride that a distinguished character was the liberator of five of these sister countries, our Simon Bolivar. With a view to generating awareness from the permanent reflection for the change of attitude, I immerse myself in the Gergen Socioconstructionist paradigm (2007) accompanied by the social phenomenology of Schultz (1973) and the narrative-biographical method of Montero (2004), to tell “what has been lived and remembered” during my childhood and adolescence in a neighborhood house in Caracas, where European, Latin American immigrants and Creole migrants lived together in an environment of respect, affection and otherness.
