In this article I show how, on the field of seasonal migration between the Maghreb and the Bouches‑du‑Rhône, the evolution of the links maintained with the “homeland,” the territory and social network in the country of origin and the meaning that migrants themselves give to this relationship can be understood through the intersection of a plurality of analytic levels and temporalities: the political and socio‑economic structural context of the host and origin country; the possibilities provided by migrants’ network; the individual and family strategies of the latter.

Sur le terrain des migrations saisonnières entre le Maghreb et les Bouches‑du‑Rhône, j’étudie l’évolution des liens entretenus avec « la patrie », le territoire et le réseau social d’origine et le sens que les migrants donnent eux‑mêmes à cette relation, une évolution que j’aborde à travers le croisement d’une pluralité de temporalités et d’échelles d’observations : le contexte structurel politique, socio‑économique du pays d’accueil et d’origine ; les possibilités données par le réseau des migrants ; les stratégies individuelles et familiales de ces derniers.
