Social Ties and Settlement Processes: French and North African Migrants in Montreal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT/RESUME The study of migration trajectories and active and significant social ties (spaces of sociability) created by of French and North African origin in Montreal gives substance to the economic, social, and symbolic dimensions of settlement. This article examines feelings of belonging to the society of residence and elsewhere and the identity strategies mobilized by these migrants. Recourse to markers illustrate, particularly in this case, an element of an historically constituted social relation, and operates at times as an inclusion strategy and at times an exclusion strategy. What does citizenship mean? Can immigrants calls themselves Quebecois? Feelings of belonging to one or more collectivities reveal at once migration pathways (including reasons for emigration), events that are a part of the life cycle, and settlement modes. Immigrants' often multiple affiliations give citizenship (Canadian in this case) a political, social, and at times pragmatic character, whereas the city emerges as a solid ancho r for the sense of belonging. L'etude des trajectoires migratoires et des liens sociaux actifs et significatifs (espaces de sociabilite), constitues par des d'origine francaise et franco-maghrebine a Montreal, rend compte des dimensions a la fois economique, sociale et symbolique de l'etablissement. Dans ce texte, nous discutons des sentiments d'appartenance a la societe locale et ailleurs et des strategies identitaires mobilisees par ces migrants. La mise en saillance de marqueurs, notamment l'accent, s'incrit dans un rapport social historiquement constitue et traduit des strategies tantot d'inclusion, tantot d'exclusion. Quel sens revet la citoyennete? Peut-on, comme immigrant, se dire Quebecois ? Les sentiments d'appartenance a un ou des collectifs relevent a la fois des trajectoires migratoires (incluant les motifs d'emigration), des evenements qui participent du cycle de vie et des modalites d'etablissement. Souvent multiples, ces appartenances conferent a la citoyennete (dans ce cas canadienne) un caractere politique, socia l et parfois pratique alors que la ville evoque un solide point d'ancrage. ********** This study addresses issues related to belonging and to social organization in the context of migration. How do individuals connect in a new social environment? How are spaces of sociability created? Who takes part in these different environments? These questions are a way of looking at the settlement process while taking into account its economic, social, and symbolic dimensions (Taboada-Leonetti 1994). Are these dimensions reflected in the trajectories of good migrants (1) (that is, from France) in Montreal who display, according to Canada and Quebec's immigrant selection criteria, optimal characteristics (i.e., age, education, language skills, socio-economic status)? Do they become full participants in the host society? Do they identify with the expression Qutebecois? In order to answer these questions, the focus is on social ties built or maintained by from France in Montreal. Which individuals are considered close and which peripheral? Do patterns of sociability reflect in any way the migrant's sense of belonging to the host society? Studying these patterns is a useful approach to understanding cultural and social capital (Bourdieu 1994, 1986; Portes 1995) and how such capital is used, mechanisms of social inclusion and exclusion, and how social relations develop between within their own national group, between of different origins, and between and non-migrants (see also LeBlanc, this issue). History plays an important role here since the construction of social links within a given society and the social receptivity (Piche 2001) of that same society are partly the result of past history between sending and receiving countries. From this perspective, my argument draws on historical aspects of the actual relationship between the two stat es, on middle-level structures (social ties and networks), and on individual strategies of belonging adopted by from France of French origin and of Algerian, Moroccan, or Tunisian origin. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
