CASTANEDA-CAMEY, Nicté Soledad. The youth urban imaginarium of migration and life in United States. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.617-630. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1227200214.

My main objective in this article is to analyze the imaginarium of migration and life in the United States, which prevails among the young people from the Guadalajara, Jalisco Metropolitan Area, México. Specifically I try to illustrate, from the voice of the young, the conformation of that series of imaginary meanings of future. I orient the topic from the qualitative approach consisting in the biographical interpretative method, from life stories and interviews. The findings reveal that this imaginarium has different constructions: on one hand, the imaginarium that is made up of employment, affective, economic and educational expectations, impregnated of a material, economic sense; and on the other hand, the one that is made up of desires, illusions and expectations from the affective and emotional outlooks, such as family reunification and the consolidation of a couple’s life.

Palabras clave : young urban subject; migration; the United States; urban young imaginarium.
