Resumo: In recent years, Sikh Punjabi migration to Portugal has started gaining attention. While it was estimated that the first migrants started to move to Portugal in the early 1990ies, the community has long time stayed unnoticed. Sikhs in Portugal are predominantly young and male and a large part of them has at some point been in an irregular administrative situation. Drawing on a multi-sited ethnographic research using participant observation in different cities of Punjab and the Great Lisbon between 2017 and 2019, this dissertation aims to look at how gender roles are maintained and negotiated within Punjabi migrants’ transnational families in Lisbon and Punjab. First, it investigates the crucial role of gender in scoping migration projects to Portugal. While migration restrictions have the power to encourage or dissuade transnational family practices such as family reunification and transnational marriages, this work looks at how kinship rules and social norms operate across borders. Secondly, this work looks at the gendered division of labor in Sikh Punjabi transnational families. It examine the work of women both in origin and abroad. This dissertation establishes that at the present moment, transnational family practices have not led to a more egalitarian division of roles within the Sikh Punjabi family living between Lisbon and Punjab and that while new challenges are faced by, both men and women, caring expectation perpetuate conventional gender norms of the family even in the transnational context.

Embora se estimasse que os primeiros migrantes começaram a mudar-se para Portugal no início da década de 1990, a comunidade tem permanecido durante muito tempo despercebida. Os Sikhs em Portugal são predominantemente jovens e do sexo masculino e uma grande parte deles tem estado, a dada altura, numa situação administrativa irregular. Com base numa investigação etnográfica multisituada utilizando a observação participante em diferentes cidades do Punjab e da Grande Lisboa entre 2017 e 2019, esta dissertação visa analisar a forma como os papéis de género são mantidos e negociados no seio das famílias transnacionais dos migrantes Punjabi em Lisboa e no Punjab. Em primeiro lugar, investiga o papel crucial do género na delimitação do âmbito dos projetos de migração para Portugal. Embora as restrições à migração tenham o poder de encorajar ou dissuadir práticas familiares transnacionais, tais como o reagrupamento familiar e os casamentos transnacionais, este trabalho analisa a forma como as regras de parentesco e as normas sociais funcionam para além das fronteiras. Em segundo lugar, este trabalho analisa a divisão do trabalho em função do género nas famílias transnacionais Sikhs Punjabi. Examina o trabalho das mulheres tanto na origem como no estrangeiro. Esta dissertação estabelece que, atualmente, as práticas familiares transnacionais não conduziram a uma divisão mais igualitária dos papéis no seio da família Sikh Punjabi que vive entre Lisboa e Punjab e que, embora novos desafios sejam enfrentados tanto por homens como por mulheres na família, a expectativa de cuidado perpetua as normas convencionais de género da família, mesmo no contexto transnacional.2021-12-21T00:00:00Z2020-12-21T00:00:00Z2020-12-212020-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/22134TID:202629481engLopes, Jessicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:30:06Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/22134Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:13:30.528599Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
