Genealogías teóricas del transnacionalismo migrante:

apuntes para una revisión antropológica crítica

Abstract

The article carries out a state of the art of the classical debates in social sciences that inspires the transnational perspective of migrations. Supported by an anthropological perspective, we will discuss the centrality of the National-State in structuring the borders, identities and economic-politic processes experienced by migrants. We will revisit Clyde Mitchell’s anthropological debates about social networks and Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological definition of social field. Finally, we will discuss the arguments of transnational perspective of migrations, highlighting its argumentative outcomes, and proposing critical aspects for a conceptual review.
