Abstract:
The fundamental question of my research is: can be the migration experience a direct cause of
generation of a new spiritual life? The starting point is a questionnaire aimed to about ten
immigrant women from different religious origins. Thinking about their testimonies of faith, this
survey focuses on migrant as spirituality generator boost and on the opportunity to give life to a
new human landscape with many cultural bridges and flexible to the trip as a category. The inner
processes and the symbolic representation of reality are much slower and much less obvious. The
illusion of those who think that the world could always be equal to itself is often dictated by fear
that prefers a static and predictable reading of the real. A similar consideration can be
convenient, until the impact with something or with someone does not force us to think
differently. The migrant presence, or, even better, a community of immigrants, changing the
social fabric, suggests a new human environment, leading to undermine inveterate beliefs. Fixed,
rigid and static conceptions should be replaced by a flexible and dynamic one, where knowledge
of the faith of others finally appears appropriate, recommended and required. On the ground of
consciousness we play the most difficult challenge, launched by the new citizens. Receptors
apparently passive, immigrant members of the civil community tacitly propose a over the
relationship and sharing, accessible only through empathy. |
