Title
L'envers de l'imaginé : la détresse comme discours socioculturel chez les migrants indiens de Montréal
Abstract
An investigation into how psychological distress affects Indian immigrants in Montreal. The participants in the study describe distress as a complex object, deeply rooted into the circumstances of its appearance. The author points out that these contexts or circumstances form the underside of the imagined; that is, the hidden dimension of the migrants' hopes that are dashed in their encounter with the objective conditions of migration. Distress, then, takes shape as a rupture of the balance of interiority as well as the internalization of the conditions that produce it and construct its meaning.
