Abstract:
The experience of displacement is a stressing event that deeply harms those who have to endure it, whether because of natural disasters or armed groups actions. Arriving new places is a challenge posed by the task of creating a new life. This paper gathers together the results gotten from inquiries done in the municipality of Soacha, in Colombia, and the region of Chaité, in Chile, among populations who faced displacement, and gets closer to social constructions of masculinity among migrating men. From the interviews made, it was found that new models are configured to respond to family and community demands.
Keywords: Displacement, masculinities, natural disasters, roles, family.
