Abstract
Este texto analiza el caso de la migración centroamericana que migra en y por México desde una perspectiva de análisis antropológico y feminista aplicados a las recientes propuestas sobre los regímenes migratorios y de movilidad. Se busca reformular las preguntas tradicionales de investigación que presentan el papel de la violencia criminal como una metanarrativa causal que oculta el papel de la violencia sexual y de género en la migración de las mujeres centroamericanas, y al hacerlo, invisibiliza y neutraliza la agencia de las mujeres. La principal contribución de este trabajo es el análisis feminista y de género centrados en datos etnográficos obtenidos mediante el trabajo de campo y la realización de más de 50 entrevistas en profundidad con migrantes centroamericanos/as, activistas de organizaciones feministas y de migrantes, y con políticos en Puebla (México) en 2016 y 2017, un estado mexicano situado entre la frontera sur y la Ciudad de México que juega un rol central aunque desconocido en el tránsito de la migración centroamericana.
This text analyses the case of Central American migration in and through Mexico from an anthropological perspective and a feminist analysis applied to recent proposals on migration and mobility regimes. It seeks to reformulate traditional research questions that present the role of criminal violence as a causal meta-narrative that hides the role of sexual and gender-based violence in the migration of Central American women, and in doing so, it hides women’s agency in migration. The main contribution of this work is the feminist and gender analysis centred on ethnographic data obtained through fieldwork and the realisation of more than 50 in-depth interviews with Central American migrants, activists of feminist and migrant organisations, and politicians in Puebla (Mexico) in 2016 and 2017, a Mexican state located between the southern border and Mexico City that plays a central but unknown role in the transit of Central American migration.
