Humanitarismo y refugio: La gobernanza ambigua de la protección internacional en Madrid desde la perspectiva de los actores institucionales
The increase in the arrival of forcibly displaced people in the European Union has intensified the integration of security-oriented migration policies with humanitarian assistance policies, leading to the emergence of humanitarian borders. Research in this area has focused on external humanitarian borders, and much less on internal ones. The main analytical contribution of this article is the identification and conceptualisation of the ethnograph…
Fronteras humanitarias y el continuo de la violencia sexual: Continuidades inverosímiles en la movilidad de las mujeres
Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un análisis desde una perspectiva feminista de las implicaciones del trabajo fronterizo humanitario en contextos de migración. Las fronteras humanitarias son zonas donde las prácticas de ayuda y rescate se han fusionado con la vigilancia y el rechazo. Resulta llamativo que una de las perspectivas de análisis menos abordadas en la construcción del trabajo fronterizo humanitario, es la perspectiva feminis…
Being an au pair in London: Young Spanish women's employment trajectories and strategies in regimes of gender and precariousness
The global economic crisis that began in 2008 led to major cuts to the welfare state in Spain and across Europe (Gambino, 2018), affecting key areas such as health, education, social care and youth employment. This was accompanied by drastic reductions in public spending and welfare benefits, which affected women particularly severely. Through ethnographic fieldwork with a gender and feminist perspective, this paper attempts to cast light on the …
Humanitarian Borders and Asylum in Mexico: Using Soft Power to Control Mobility
Drawing on the anthropological debates surrounding humanitarian borders, this article analyses the functioning of the humanitarian border in central Mexico. More specifically, it focuses on the state of Puebla as a case study that casts light on the ways in which the humanitarian border operates in states located far from geographic borders, which are frequently overlooked in discourse and action on migration and asylum in Mexico. Based on ethnog…
Del nexo migración-desarrollo al nexo humanitarismo-desarrollo en Europa. Reflexiones desde el caso ucraniano
Este artículo analiza el papel del nexo Humanitarismo-Desarrollo (NHD) en el ámbito de la gestión de la movilidad de las personas en búsqueda de protección en Europa. Para ello partiremos de un análisis histórico de la configuración del nexo migración-desarrollo y su paso al NHD en el marco de las políticas migratorias y de asilo europeas. A continuación, partimos del caso de Ucrania para analizar cómo opera el humanitarismo como una primera etap…
Onward migration and onward precarity of Latin American labour migrants in postcrisis contexts in Europe
The main aim of this paper is to shed light on the link between 'onward migration' and 'onward precarity' as an experience of continuous precariousness by paying attention to crisis/post-crisis contexts and how these contexts have led to precarity becoming structurally embedded in migrant labour markets in Europe. Onward migration studies have centrally focused on crisis contexts, but very little attention has been paid to post-crisis contexts. T…

Young Spanish au pairs in London: Migration and gender tensions in the context of intra-EU mobilities
This article explores the study of young Spanish au pairs in London within the context of intra-European migration following the 2008 financial crisis from an ethnographic, feminist and gender perspective. It contributes to a greater understanding of the ways in which the free movement of workers in the EU and the commodification of care work are linked to emerging dynamics of European (re)peripheralisation and the production of new forms of prec…

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 g…

La emigración española contemporánea bajo una mirada interdisciplinar
El interés despertado por la emigración española en los últimos años ha constituido un ámbito discursivo de confrontación dentro de diversos campos especializados (burocráticos, políticos, mediáticos, etc.) dónde, los actores sociales involucrados desde diversas posiciones político-ideológicas, intentan imponer una visión legítima sobre dicha temática. De esta forma, la emigración al igual que la inmigración se vuelve objeto de lucha y confrontac…
Antropología, desarrollo e interculturalidad: Propuestas desde América Latina
This text that introduces the monograph presents the contributions that social anthropology has made in the analysis of development and interculturalism from Latin America. The interest of this work is twofold. On the one hand, Latin America has been a privileged geopolitical laboratory where programs and projects were fostered and exported to other parts of the world. Moreover, the contributions made by Latin American anthropology have been impo…
The Transnational Governance of Ecuadorian Migration through Co‐Development
The purpose of this paper is to show the relationship between co‐development projects with transnational interests and the governance of migration by the Spanish and Ecuadorian governments. On one hand, the emergence of co‐development is linked with the political dimension of migration, and therefore, with the challenges that its management poses for both the sending and receiving states. Simultaneously, the state exists in a context of the recon…
