A inserção das crianças que moraram no Japão

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how children, especially those who come back from Japan, usually experience the differences in cultures. We address aspects of the socialization process in different cultural contexts, the implications of migration both in an individual’s psychological development and in family dynamics based on theoretical dialogues between the crosscultural and psychodynamics approaches. We consider that the sociopolitical factors are essential to understand the losses, conflicts and challenges involved in moving. Within the realm of education, we have observed that the school usually reproduces discontinuity instead of ensuring children’s “possibility of being” between different cultures.
