Percursos migratórios nos territórios da costura

Abstract

In this article, we will approach the migratory routes of Bolivians within the sewing territories in São Paulo and Buenos Aires. Based on a characterization of this migration as a circulatory territory, we argue that it is necessary to understand the ways in which migrants articulate, in their social experience, the various mobility facts that make up their migratory routes in sewing territories. Therefore, we propose the methodology of life narratives as narratives of practice. To conclude, we present two typical routes: i) those who actually integrate into one of the destination cities, presenting little probability of return, even when they remain engaged in the sewing territories and; ii) those who return to Bolivia after a first experience, with a high probability of reintegration in the sewing territories.
