Appartenenze “mobili”: il ritorno come strategia metodologica e lente interpretativa nelle migrazioni dei rudari romeni e delle donne capoverdiane - “Mobile” Belongings: Return as a Methodological Strategy and Interpretive Lens in the Migrations of Romanian Rudari and Cape Verdean Women

The essay explores the multiple forms of migratory return, conceived as an open, circular, and relational process. Through two long-term ethnographies – among Cape Verdean migrant women, especially rabidantes, and Rudari families in rural Romania – the authors show how returns, mobile and plural, renegotiate identity, gender, labour, and transnational belonging. Return thus emerges as a space of reflexivity, transformation, and the production of new situated knowledges.
