Abstract
MERENSON, Silvina. Between Brotherhood and Exceptionalism: Processes of Identification, Social Marking, and Justification in Uruguayan Immigration in Buenos Aires. Migr. Inter [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.1, pp.9-37. ISSN 2594-0279.
Using a multi-sited ethnography, this article analyzes from a historical perspective the processes of identification, social marking, and justification put into play by various Uruguayan immigrants in Buenos Aires in order to distinguish their migratory paths from others'. This article examines the "discourse of brotherhood" within the interdependency of bilateral relations between Argentina and Uruguay, the activation of certain national narratives, and the development of and reasoning behind Uruguayans' migration trajectories from the middle of the 20th century to date.
Keywords : social identification; national narratives; bilateral relations; Uruguay; Argentina.
