Contemporary migration of non-Spanish speakers in Argentina: regime, tensions and integration

Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to critical migration studies about the incorporation of non-Spanish speaking’s migrants in Río Cuarto (city located at Córdoba), Argentina. It’s proposed to develop a theoretical inquiry on the political, social and economic conditioning factors that generate the structure of opportunities for this incorporation. The methodological design is proposed with the use of qualitative methods, using data sources and information provided by recent researches on the subject and studies on the performance of the State and its institutions. For this paper, it’s important pay attention all time on the prevailing political-economic logic. The hypothesis that will guide this research is: the approaches that are produced in the border and migration regime are not for a structure of opportunities according to migrant motivations and expectations; they are for make control and management of this movements and keeping the supposed homogeneity of the State. This Project attempts to give an account of the situation that makes tensions and social inequalities by the nationalistic, non-dynamic and patriarchal thought. In addition, going to think new questions in relation to the motivations and strategies that migrants developed in the process. The conclusions obtained may suggest to think about Human Rights perspective in relation to the selection of rights for legality/illegality situation people, differentiating migrants from local/national people. The nationalist, static and patriarchal logic of global control and management regime of migratory processes shapes migrations and reaffirms stereotypes if gender, nation and others.
