Quella delle famiglie militari americane è una forma di mobilitazione transnazionale temporanea che sta facendo sentire la propria presenza anche al di fuori dei confini delle basi militari NATO presenti sul nostro territorio. I figli di queste famiglie vanno a formare la subcultura americana cosiddetta dei “military brats”, caratterizzata da uno stile di vita mobile, che ha sicuramente un forte impatto sulla socializzazione culturale. Si vuole comprendere quali siano i vantaggi e le difficoltà che questi bambini incontrano nella propria formazione identitaria, vivendo in un paese (o più paesi nell’arco di pochi anni) diverso da quello di origine dei genitori, affrontando distanza, nuove lingue, scuole, tradizioni e percezioni di sè. Allo stesso tempo, è utile indagare come le strategie educative dei genitori si modifichino per conciliare le diverse culture con cui i propri bambini convivono.

Abstract
That of the American Military families is a form of temporary transnational mobility that is making itself known even outside of the borders of the NATO military bases present on our territory. The children of these families form the American subculture known as “Military Brats”. Their mobile lifestyle has a strong effect on their identity formation; this research aims to understand the benefits and challenges these children face, living in one or more countries different from the parents’ passport ones. Moving every few years, they need to adapt to new languages, school systems, relationships and traditions, and deal with distance and self perception. Likewise, it can be useful to explore how the parents’ educational strategies change to balance the diverse culture within which their kids live.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
