“Gringuinho”, “Diáspora”, “Iracema Voou: Narrated Exile, Sung Exiles
The objective of this article is to discuss sociocultural and existential aspects of migration in the representations “Diaspora”, “Iracema voou” and “Gringuinho.” Living in the original territory line up as time goes by. This perception is shown through the incorporation of practices and culture in the hometown. Therefore, topographic relationships are established. The experiences imprint the feeling of the time lived by, all of this acting upon the construction and maintenance of individual and cultural identities which should go hand in hand with the national identity. The article also intends to notice the interactions of the migrant with the present timespace, and in this sense, take into consideration not only the concept of “new nomads” (HOFFMAN, 1999), but also the senses of the notion of topology. The topological space-time which presents itself and challenges the new immigrants is not only the local-stop moment and shelter of weird displacement, but also, and mainly, the solo-instant in which other subjectivities assimilate and embody other identities, or no, and affective references.
