Intra-European Mobility of Skilled Expatriates and Place-Identity: Interwoven Social Representations of Rome and Warsaw

Resumen

Este artículo discute la influencia de las representaciones sociales de una ciudad de destino en la motivación y el desarrollo de modelos de movilidad individual, a través de cuestionarios con una técnica proyectiva y entrevistas guiadas. Los participantes fueron 60 expatriados calificados en dos capitales europeas diferentes: los italianos que residen en Varsovia, y los polacos que residen en Roma. El estudio demuestra la relevancia de la identidad de lugar para el significado del mismo dentro de la cultura urbana, en el contexto donde los temas globales y locales están entretejidos, presentando también la transformación de las representaciones sociales de ambas ciudades.
