description | The immigrant subjects are trapped and participate in multiple class distinction and systems of inequality, both in the context of origin and destination. National classifications (from home and host countries); of class (belonging to certain classes and fractions); of age groups; ethnic identities; etc. cross the configuration of migrations as an object of study. Furthermore, the crossing of the legal border from one State to another involves a significant potential violation of migrant rights, as they engage in a web of social relations that marginalizes them towards precariousness and labor informality (weakness against employers and lack of State protection).
In this article, we will discuss some categories that designate the migratory phenomenon, marked by the domination relation that implies its study, at the same time betting object and of symbolic fights for its definition. We will frame our thoughts with a study of Argentine middle-class migrants in Spain, as a case in point where an overdetermined object of research on migration was constructed. The aim is to complex such categories as immigration and nationality og origin by incorporating variables into the study (class, age group, stage of migration, gender). To this end, we will provide from Bourdieu and Sayad's perspectives an analysis model that is capable of incorporating multiple dimensions to study migrations.

Los sujetos migrantes están atrapados y participan de múltiples enclasamientos y sistemas de desigualdad, tanto en el contexto de origen como en el de destino. Enclasamientos nacionales (de los países de origen y de destino); de clase (pertenencia a determinadas clases y fracciones); de grupos de edad; de identificación étnica; etc. atraviesan la configuración de las migraciones como objeto de estudio. A ello se añade que el cruce de la frontera jurídica de un Estado a otro implica una vulneración potencial de los migrantes, al entrar éstos en una trama de relaciones sociales que los marginaliza hacia la precariedad y la informalidad laboral (debilidad frente a los empleadores, desprotección del Estado). En este artículo analizaremos algunas categorías que designan al fenómeno migratorio, marcadas por la relación de dominación que supone su estudio, a la vez objeto de apuestas y de luchas simbólicas por su definición. Ilustraremos nuestras reflexiones con un estudio sobre migrantes argentinos de clases medias en España, como caso testigo en el que se construyó un objeto sobredeterminado de investigación acerca de las migraciones. El objetivo es complejizar categorías como inmigración y nacionalidad de origen, al añadir variables al análisis (clase, grupo de edad, etapa de la migración, género). Para ello, brindaremos desde las perspectivas de Bourdieu y Sayad un modelo de análisis que es capaz de incorporar múltiples dimensiones para estudiar las migraciones. 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/489 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/25776 spa http://www.ojs.unsj.edu.ar/index.php/reviise/article/view/489/496 http://www.ojs.unsj.edu.ar/index.php/reviise/article/view/489/497 Derechos de autor 2020 RevIISE - Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf text/html 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; 147-163 RevIISE - Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas; Vol. 16 Núm. 16 (2020): REVIISE N°16 VOL. 16 - octubre 2020 - marzo 2021; 147-163 2250-5555 |
