| description | Ever since the seventies, feminist studies have made multiple contributions to analyzing population mobility processes and have pointed out the androcentric biases prevailing in certain approaches to migration studies. However, it is still usual for research on agricultural labor migrations to hold that these are movements led by men, to presuppose a low participation of women, or to consider them included behind the masculine generic plural. Consequently, the amount of literature analyzing the specificity of rural women’s migration patterns and their labor opportunities is limited. In this context, the present article provides an issue status of women’s movements around agricultural labor in Latin America, focusing on migration flows between Bolivia and Argentina. We analyze pioneer investigations and other more recent ones addressing these issues from the perspective that feminist analytical tools provide to the field of migration studies. As an analysis assumption, we argue that migration movements from rural areas are shaped by job transformations and agricultural production as much as by the changes in social reproduction occurred in our region over the last decades. |

Desde los años setenta los estudios feministas realizaron múltiples aportes para analizar los procesos de movilidad poblacional y señalaron los sesgos androcéntricos de ciertos enfoques imperantes en los estudios migratorios. Sin embargo, aún es habitual que las investigaciones sobre migraciones laborales agrícolas sostengan que se trata de movimientos protagonizados por varones, presupongan la baja participación de mujeres o las consideren incluidas detrás del plural genérico masculino. En consecuencia, es acotada la cantidad de literatura que analiza la especificidad de los patrones migratorios de las mujeres rurales y sus oportunidades laborales. En ese contexto, este artículo realiza un estado de la cuestión sobre las movilidades de mujeres en torno al trabajo agrícola en América Latina y focaliza en las migraciones entre Bolivia y Argentina. Analizamos investigaciones pioneras y otras más recientes que exploran estos asuntos, desde la perspectiva que ofrecen las herramientas analíticas feministas al campo de los estudios migratorios. Como supuesto de análisis sostenemos que las movilidades que suscita el agro son modeladas tanto por las transformaciones del empleo y la producción agrícola, como por los cambios en la reproducción cotidiana acontecidos en las últimas décadas en nuestra Región. 2020-09-29 2022-03-15T20:05:10Z 2022-03-15T20:05:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://www.ojs.unsj.edu.ar/index.php/reviise/article/view/481 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/25771 spa http://www.ojs.unsj.edu.ar/index.php/reviise/article/view/481/484 http://www.ojs.unsj.edu.ar/index.php/reviise/article/view/481/485 Derechos de autor 2020 RevIISE - Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf text/html Latina America América Latina Instituto de Investigaciones Socioeconómicas RevIISE - Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas; ##issue.vol## 16 ##issue.no## 16 (2020): REVIISE N°16 VOL. 16 - octubre 2020 - marzo 2021; 51-67 RevIISE - Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas; Vol. 16 Núm. 16 (2020): REVIISE N°16 VOL. 16 - octubre 2020 - marzo 2021; 51-67 2250-5555 |
