Identity Representations & Space Relationships Università degli studi di Milano Università degli studi di Torino PhD PROGRAM SOCIOLOGY AND METHODOLOGY OF SOCIAL RESEARCH – XXIX Cohort SETTORE SCIENTIFICO SPS/08 Identity Representations & Space Relationships: The Case of Sikh Migrants in the North of Italy Doctoral dissertation by Catherine St-Hilaire Supervisor: Prof. Enzo Colombo Director of Doctoral Program: Prof Mauro Barisione & Prof. Mario Cardano Academic Year 2018/2019 Identity Representations & Space Relationships: The Case of Sikh Migrants in the North of Italy | 2 Identity Representations & Space Relationships: The Case of Sikh Migrants in the North of Italy | 3 Acknowledgements This work is dedicated to my family which from near or far remained very supportive of my work and helped me through the good and the worse of this PhD universe. My parents were always there and eager to help, despite not necessarily knowing what I was truly doing. Their presence for me via Skype or on the phone as well as opening their arms when I would come back for extended holidays made me recharge my batteries and get ready for the next step. I am particularly grateful to Étienne, my partner in life, my partner in crime, the only one who can channel my stress into a sort of focus and can listen to my endless uncertainties and still believe in me afterwards: my Love, I thank you, I would not have done it without you. Another great thank you goes to my best friend who came to visit me in Italy for a weekend more often than I could ever imagine was possible from Canada. Florence, an amazing woman who studied with me during my bachelor’s degree but has gone back to the real world since leaving academia. She is the only one who can understand both my academic, and personal issues in life and with this thesis, and was able to provide hypotheses and suggestions about every sphere of my life. Furthermore she was able to translate my vision on paper, since she made this thesis much more readable after editing countless drafts, so for this I say: Merci ma chère! There is also the endless list of amazing people that I met at my new university and that I am particularly indebted to, for the support and fun that we all had together. First there are some of the members of SOCME1 with whom I have spent much more time because of proximity, and of proximity to the numerous aperitivo places in the center of Milan, those people include Massimo, Cristina and Cristina the second, Francesco, Grace and all the others. There are those that are part of NASP or any other graduate schools which were there, each in their own years and their own department, thus we could help each other at various times in the day (or night) and in the year, and which you were all so understanding of my feelings as a foreigner in a new place and at a new university, and thus sometimes feeling lonely of just reading and 1 The former acronym of Sociology and Methodology of Social Research program. Identity Representations & Space Relationships: The Case of Sikh Migrants in the North of Italy | 4 writing my thesis. I sincerely thank you all for this amazing support especially my visiting friend Selina, and then at UNIMI, Bruna, Andreia, Fatma, Minke, Auste, Mirele and my Italian colleague Annarita. Then there is this great friend that I met at the graduate school, and who became my favorite go-to Italian person in the world. You have made me enjoy Italy, and then I was able to enjoy my work properly, thank you Samuel. Without you, I would have never remembered why I was doing this! In the matter of people that I have known for years or simply new friends, I have to give a shout out for your time and patience with me. Thank you, Tanya, Sarah, and Venilla for numerous talks and drinks back in Canada, it made me feel right at home. Another person with whom I have worked during my whole PhD and whom became a great friend is Jaspinder. Thank you for welcoming me into your life and into your family during the fieldwork. This dissertation would have never happened without you, and thus, it is partly dedicated to you and yours. Finally, in a more academic perspective, I owe many thanks to my supervisor for his help and support throughout this process. Prof. Enzo Colombo, every time I entered your office, I was feeling exasperated and when I left your office, I had a renewed perspective on my work and a good dose of positivity. I know I may have been complicated to follow with my very long emails, but your short answers and meetings were exactly what I needed to keep going. From the University of Milan, I would like to acknowledge the help of Prof. Barisione and Prof. Cardano for their answers to my many queries for the past four years. Thanks to Prof. Ambrosini and Prof. Biscaldi, for giving me a chance to be worthy grad student in various occasions which you so nicely provided. From York University, thank you to Prof. Nijawan, my time in Toronto may have been short, but very constructive, since at this point I was far from realizing the amount of work I still needed to accomplish. Finally I would like to sincerely thank the two reviewers, Prof. Bertolani and Prof. Trimboli whom offered valuable and thorough comments and suggestions to enrich my thesis. I thank you all for making me realize that I needed to focus more, and I am glad of it. Everyone’s personal and academic help made this dissertation possible, and I cannot be sincerer when I say: Merci!

II © Pär Johan Danielsson 2018 Titel: Den religiösa traditionen som en resurs i det norska integrationsfältet – En studie av Unge Sikhers användande av sin religiösa tradition som en resurs för att uppnå egna uppsatta mål. Författare: Pär Johan Danielsson http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo III Sammandrag Religiösa minoriteter har i Norge de tre senaste århundrandena fått symbolisera antitesen till den nationella identiteten. I det sociala fältet integrationsfältet blir följande doxa reproducerad: Ett av kriterierna för att en minoritet skall anses vara i en process av att bli gott integrerad eller de facto välintegrerad in i det i det norska samhället, är att de slutar praktisera sin religion, eller att de förflyttar religionen in till den privata sfären. Religionen skall dessutom inte begränsa individens fulla samhällsdeltagande. Ungdomsorganisationen Unge Sikher som dessutom är gurdwaran i Oslos ansikte utåt har gjort det motsatta och har ändå etablerat sikhminoriteten som ett gott exempel på vällyckad integration. Genom att använda sin egna religiösa tradition och ortodoxi som centrala resurser i mötet med det omgivande samhället, har Unge Sikher lyckats etablera en acceptans i norsk offentlighet.

    Journal of Religion in Europe Journal of Religion in Europe 6 (2013) 483–493 brill.com/jre Book Reviews Knut Jacobsen and Kristina Myrvold (eds.) Sikhs in Europe: Migration, Identities and Representations (Farnham: Ashgate, 2011), 360 pp., Hardback, 74,99 €, ISBN: 978-1-4094-2434-5. Sikhs in Europe brings together in a single volume an impressive selection of insightful and ground-breaking essays which offer nuanced and context-sensitive interpretations of Sikh experiences in various geopolitical settings across Europe. Each of the essays is based on fieldwork and presents new empirical data on vari- ous aspects of Sikh diasporic experiences in eleven distinct European contexts. The volume is divided into three parts. “Part I: Sikhs in Northern and Eastern Europe” opens with Knut A. Jacobsen’s “Institutionalization of Sikhism in Norway.” Jacobsen argues the success of the Norwegian panth can be traced to both internal and external factors: the impulse for seva among panthis and the support of the Norwegian state. In “The Sikh Community in Denmark,” Helene Ilkjaer locates a cyclical rupture – one tethered to Sikh political mobilization on the question of Khalistan – between those Sikhs who emphasize praxis and those who see the ten- ets of modern Sikh orthodoxy as normative. Noting a ‘drop in’ pattern of migration in “The Swedish Sikhs,” Kristina Myrvold suggests that while ‘religion’ dominates public discourse, representations, and recognition of Sikhs in Sweden, second gen- eration Sikhs are more inclined to distinguish between ‘religion’ and ‘culture’ than are first generation migrants. Laura Hirvi breaks new ground in her exploration of Finland’s nascent Sikh community of merely 600.

Oppgaven undersøker hvordan pilegrimsreisen kan bidra til å opprettholde sikhisme i Norge, og hvordan endringer i norske sikhers relasjon til Det gylne tempel er påvirket av deres hverdag i Norge. Materialet er dannet gjennom feltarbeid utført på en reise til Punjab sammen med en gruppe norske sikher samt intervjuer og observasjon i Norge. I sikhenes hellige skrift, Guru Granth Sahib, avvises pilegrimsferd som meningsløst, men likevel reiser mange sikher til Det gylne tempel. Norske sikhers reiser motiveres blant annet av at de holder tempelet for å være et egnet sted for tilgivelse, helbredelse, takksigelser, religiøse opplevelser og historisk lærdom. Det er imidlertid uenighet blant norske sikher om Det gylne tempel er hellig eller ikke. Noen sikher mener tempelet har guddommelige kvaliteter, mens andre tar avstand fra tanken om stedets hellighet og opphøyer heller dets sikhhistoriske betydning alene. Uavhengig av hvordan de kognitivt forholder seg til tempelet uttrykker de fleste norske sikher sterke følelser overfor det, og de anstrenger seg for å få tid til å besøke tempelet på sine reiser i India.

Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2015.

Messina 1 Abstract This study attempts to investigate the reasons for the persistence of labor migration to Norway, wherein significant anti-immigrant popular sentiment prevails. It focuses on high skilled labor migrants, Indian migrants in particular, as statistical data indicate that their numbers have steadily increased over the recent decade. The study elucidates the logic underpinning the aforementioned puzzle based on a comprehensive analysis of the available scholarship on Norwegian immigration, the use of statistical data, and personal interviews conducted with different relevant elite actors in Norwegian society. Evidence suggests that the main reasons for the increasing trend of Indian migrants are micro and macro level economic incentives and/or forces that supersede the desire to maintain or establish a migration policy that is hinged on populist restrictionism, influences of international organizations (IOs) in Norwegian migration policy, and an established Indian community in Norway.

  • Women and Sikhism in Theory and Practice: Normative Discourses, Seva Performances, and Agency in the Case Study of Some Young Sikh Women in Northern Italy
    religions Article Women and Sikhism in Theory and Practice: Normative Discourses, Seva Performances, and Agency in the Case Study of Some Young Sikh Women in Northern Italy Barbara Bertolani Department of Sociology, University of Trento, 38122 Trento, Italy; [email protected] Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 14 February 2020; Published: 17 February 2020 Abstract: The paper reflects on the role of women in Sikhism in theory and social practice, starting from a case study in northern Italy. Although the normative discourse widely shared in mainstream Sikhism affirms the equality between man and woman and the same possibility to manifest devotion through every kind of seva (social service within gurdwaras), empirical observation in some Italian gurdwaras has shown a different picture, as there is a clear division of tasks that implicitly subtends a gender-based hierarchy. This relational structure is challenged by intergenerational tensions, especially by young women born or raised in Italy, who may want to develop a different Sikh identity, considered compatible also with the Italian social and cultural context. In this initial process of collective identity definition and of agency, the female participation in the religious seva within gurdwaras is identified as the tool for change of power relations that cross genders and generations. Keywords: women and Sikhism; Sikh women in Italy; seva performances; Sikh youth; Sikhs in Italy; gurdwaras in Italy 1. Introduction It is Saturday night. In a gurdwara (Sikh house of worship, or,
