The place tissue: geographics intersections, the case of Erasmus latin students
Abstract
This paper analyzes the motivations, experiences and perceptions of a group of Latin American students according to the Erasmus exchange program at Lodz, Poland. Based on a qualitative methodology, open interviews and participant observation, we research the effects of being a foreigner in today's Europe and how the cultural issue prints a dichotomy game between us and they, which is reflected in the daily trajectories of these students, from the geographical perspective of place. Throughout the article, the concept of place is deeply recognized and it is possible to conclude that the educational globalization is a social phenomenon which proposes interesting geopolitical and human geography results, around the subjects of analysis.
