Resumo: This article examines the narratives of belonging to the Muslim Arab community among immigrants in the Tri-border region (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay), emphasizing native categories by which individuals construct a multiplicity of identity discourses. The proposed approach is based on the production of discourses outside of institutional spaces such as community organizations and their spokesperson. Using narrative analysis, life story interviews and reconstruction of the immigrant trajectories as research tools, this work analyzes a set of meanings in order to understand not an identity, in this case Arab or Muslim, but processes of identification produced by immigrants and their descendants located in specific social space of social relations. The work and the search for better life, the religious ascription and the imagined futures of being on the border represent identity arenas that inform shared processes of identification.

Nossa abordagem privilegia a produção de discursos fora dos espaços institucionais, das organizações comunitárias e de seus porta-vozes. Por isso, a partir da análise de entrevistas, histórias de vida e trajetórias migratórias, distinguimos núcleos de significação que permitem compreender não uma identidade, neste caso árabe ou muçulmana, mas, sim, um conjunto de processos de identificação produzidos pelos imigrantes e seus descendentes que se situam em espaços de relações sociais específicos. O trabalho e a busca de oportunidades de vida, a adscrição religiosa e os futuros imaginados sobre o estar na fronteira representam arenas de significados que informam processos de identificação compartilhados.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/16125REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2013): Islã e Antropologia; 9-30REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 13 n. 1 (2013): Islã e Antropologia; 9-301677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
