Abstract

Friendship has been investigated in the context of international migration, but little is known about the subject in relation to internal migration, a phenomenon of great social importance in Brazil. The purpose of this article is to present and discuss data obtained in an investigation on the relations between internal migration and friendship as perceived by citizens from the state of Espirito Santo who were living in other states of Brazil, in the North, Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast regions. Twenty adults born in the state and who had migrated to another Brazilian state participated in the investigation. The participants have been interviewed about how they perceived the relationship between friendship and migration and the data were subjected to thematic content analysis. Among the results difficulties to maintain friendships with people of the place of origin as well as difficulties in forming new friendships were observed. Friends were considered relevant for adaptation to the new state, affecting the perception of the same. The article also discusses the origin of friends, the perception of cultural differences and difficulties to make friends in another state. It is concluded that friends play a relevant role in the lives of Brazilian internal migrants and further investigations are necessary.

巴西的友谊与内部移民:脆弱性与应对

在国际移民的背景下对友谊进行了调查，但对国内移民这一在巴西具有重要社会意义的现象所知甚少。本文的目的是展示和讨论在调查中获得的数据，这些数据来自圣埃斯皮里图州的公民，他们居住在巴西的其他州，包括北部、东北部、中西部、南部和东南部地区，他们认为国内移民与友谊之间的关系。20名出生在该州并移民到巴西另一个州的成年人参与了这项调查。参与者接受了采访，了解他们如何看待友谊与移民之间的关系，并对数据进行了主题内容分析。结果发现，与原籍地的人保持友谊的困难，以及建立新友谊的困难。朋友被认为与适应新状态有关，影响对新状态的感知。文章还讨论了朋友的起源、文化差异的感知以及在另一个国家交朋友的困难。结论是，朋友在巴西国内移民的生活中起着相关的作用，有必要进一步调查。
