L’articolo esamina le dinamiche di appartenenza territoriale dei migranti a partire dai risultati delle indagini condotte all’interno del progetto Prin “L'Italia degli altri”. Si intende verificare il tipo di territorializzazione prodotta da transiti e ancoraggi, intrecciando la questione migratoria con la quella generazionale. Se l’emancipazione delle cosiddette seconde generazioni può rappresentare un passaggio verso la piena accettazione di una società plurale, diventa interessante comprendere come queste interpretano il modo di stare al mondo e di vivere il rapporto con i luoghi per definire la propria identità e la propria appartenenza. Dopo un inquadramento teorico e metodologico della questione, si discute su cosa significa oggi “appartenenza territoriale” e quali sono le forme che essa prende tra gli immigrati e i giovani con background migratorio che vivono in Italia.

Abstract
The article examines the dynamics of migrants' territorial belonging starting from the results of the surveys conducted within the Prin project “The Italy of others”. The aim is to verify the kind of territorialisation produced by transits and anchorages, interweaving the migratory question with the generational one. If the emancipation of the so-called second generations can represent a passage towards the full acceptance of a plural society, it becomes interesting to understand how they interpret the way of being in the world and of living the relationship with places to define their own identity and belonging. After a theoretical and methodological framing of the issue, we discuss what "territorial belonging" means today and what forms it takes among immigrants and young people with a migration background living in Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
