Abstract

This article is the result of an ethnographic research with transnational migrants in the city of Amsterdam (Netherlands). Through an interdisciplinary perspective, the proposal is to explore the relationship between food, migration and lifestyles in the context of current globalization. The issue to be outlined is how the intensification of global processes associated with food comes reverberating in the configuration of the lifestyles of transnational migrants in Amsterdã? The central argument is that processes associated with globalization are increasingly redesigning experiences related to food in immigration status, reflecting not only on what is ingested, but also in the different ways of relating to food and from food, resonating in the configuration in which some migrants give meaning to their life projects far from their home country. In this perspective, the concept of foodscape, seen as a construction of the social dynamics that relates food to places, people, meanings and material processes (Johnston; Baumann, 2015) will be the starting point and also will serve as a support for the theme of development.
