“…However, this preference for the job market does not automatically lead to further advantages in the countries of the global south (Yeoh and Willis, 2005). Intersectional dimensions of social inequality and symbolic power in migration, such as race and gender (Zuluaga et al, 2021), can further and reinforce socially exclusionary mechanisms. This results in the barricading of social milieus and devaluation of existing capital configuration beyond the economic capital endowment.…”

Methodological nationalism as a critique of container-based and nation-state-focused theory and empirical research is currently strongly anchored within migration studies, where it was initially developed. While this has led to extensive literature and critical engagement with methodological nationalism, and ways to circumvent the national trap in many (sub-)disciplines, it has not much penetrated theories of social stratification. This conceptual paper will address this gap by discussing the social positioning of high-skilled migrants in contemporary stratified societies. This exemplary discussion will bring together a critical perspective of methodological nationalism on class and milieu theory. It will also confront the critique of methodological nationalism with the question of the origin of social power and dominance, which are the foundation of stratification theories. This article will specifically draw on Pierre Bourdieu's concept of social space and its derivative. Emphasis will also be given to Michael Vester's development of social milieu to highlight blind spots according to the critique of methodological nationalism. This paper shows that these theories have not grasped high-skilled migration thoroughly. It also outlines that migrant theories and their critique of methodological nationalism inadequately address the source of symbolic hierarchy and the formation of social stratification. Thus, both theoretical strands would benefit from a deeper conversation with each other.

“…Additionally, Student 6 begins by potentially suggesting the issues faced by Afro descendants. When she says: "In spite of everything, yes," we can assume that despite the several struggles undertaken by Afro descendants (Duany, 2005;Bula, 2016;Góngora-Mera, 2019;Zuluaga et. al, 2021), she continues to feel attached to AC due the cultural identification that she experiences with certain manifestations such as hairstyles, customs, traditions, and vocabulary.…”

Objective: This study aims to analyze the reflections of a group of ninth graders from a Colombian high school about their culture during the development of an intercultural-based classroom project. Method: This qualitative action research study was grounded in an intercultural approach for language teaching. The study used a questionnaire and the written production of students to collect data which were analyzed using thematic and frequency analyses. Results: The findings suggested that the inclusion of cultural topics motivated the students and enhanced their awareness of the value of their culture and the impact of racism and discrimination within their sociocultural context. Similarly, a few elements of culturally relevant pedagogies, such as factual knowledge about culture, cultural competence, and critical consciousness, emerged from the voices of the students. Discussion and conclusions: Addressing the local manifestations of culture in English as a Foreign Language classrooms open the path for discussions on social issues and recognize the relevance of one’s cultural landscape. Nevertheless, the systematic integration of culture in language teaching at the national level is a task that remains to be achieved.

“…Las comunidades negras en Colombia históricamente han sido sujeto de discriminación, segregación espacial y de manera particular sumidas en la pobreza (Silva, 2022;Vásquez Padilla, 2023;Zuluaga et al, 2021). Todo esto producto de prácticas institucionales, las cuales se han instaurado en los imaginarios colectivos, acompañadas de políticas y políticas públicas por acción u omisión que han conducido a su perpetuación en el tiempo (Cely-Santos y Hernández-Manrique, 2021 ;Georgi, 2022;Koopman, 2020;Oslender, 2008).…”

Introducción: las comunidades negras colombianas han sido sometidas diversos procesos de homogenización que, basados principalmente en lo fenotípico y lo supuestamente común en lo histórico, han invisibilizado sus trayectorias y necesidades particulares. Objetivo: el presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la concepción y producción de comunidades negras en Colombia, con sustento en la metodología cualitativa, el análisis documental, bibliográfico y temático. Reflexión: se logró establecer el proceso de conformación del Estado/moderno/territorial, haciendo evidente el hecho isomórfico que ha pretendido sostener una equivalencia entre territorio, comunidad y cultura. A su vez, cuestionar la noción homogeneidad de una comunidad étnica con diferentes historias y contextos. Conclusiones: se reflexionó sobre el pensamiento localizado, lo cual redunda en una comprensión de las dinámicas territoriales de los grupos étnicos y con estos, de la necesidad de su reconocimiento y de medidas de política que permitan mantener y preservar con garantías su existencia.
