El sonar de la migración venezolana

Abstract

Venezuelan migration keeps the international community attentive today; The mainstream media refer to it as a stampede, exodus, or diaspora. However, what category could be attributed to it? In this article, the categorization attributed by the international media will be reviewed to subsequently address the motivations of a group of migrant academic musicians and their impact on the musical activity of destination countries. The documentary analysis of hemerographic, bibliographic and electronic corpus was used, from the approach of Umberto Eco's Social Semiology (2000); In addition, an online questionnaire with open and closed questions was designed and applied. As findings, the search for jobetter economic conditions? and ?other political alternatives?, pointed to the motivations to migrate, observing that the categories attributed by the media are far from throwing a definitive semiotic convention to the mobilization in development, which testifies to a civilizing process with complex characteristics.
