Cuando lo transitorio se vuelve definitivo: Parentalidades liminales en adopciones desde el acogimiento familiar en Chile
En este artículo, analizamos críticamente el complejo itinerario que realizan las familias de acogida que deciden adoptar a aquellos niños, niñas o adolescentes que inicialmente cuidaban de manera transitoria. A partir del estudio de cuatro casos, analizamos las vivencias y perspectivas de familias chilenas que decidieron transformar su rol, desde el acogimiento familiar a la adopción. El análisis evidencia las controversias, inconsistencias y te…
They told me that you can be with whomever you want, be who you are”: Perceptions of LGBTQ+ youth in residential care regarding the social support provided by child welfare professionals
LGBTQ + youth strengthen their resilience resources through the development of meaningful relationships that provide them with unique tools to combat the stress derived from experiences of discrimination and violence targeting their marginalized identities. However, more research is needed to understand how this group benefits from the social support provided by child welfare professionals and how these relational processes may strengthen their r…
I prefer not to know: Spain's management of transnational adoption demand and signs of corruption
The safeguards and measures to prevent child trafficking mentioned in the 1993 Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption have proven insufficient in curbing the so-called irregular adoptions. An analysis of how Spanish central authorities and intermediary agencies managed the flow of adoption dossiers between 2003 and 2013 presents their inability to react swiftly to the imbalance between adoption demand and supply. The 2015 reforms in the Spanis…
De la dificultad de pensar la construcción de la identidad sin anclajes fijos: La adopción transnacional en España
A partir de un trabajo etnográfico, se analiza el papel de “los orígenes” en el modo en que las familias adoptivas españolas, guiadas por los “saberes expertos” de los y las profesionales a quienes se encomienda su formación y acompañamiento, construyen la identidad de las personas adoptadas transnacionalmente. Dicho análisis revela la dificultad de desprenderse de las categorías tradicionales, dicotómicas y racializadas que ligan la identidad al…
El nomadismo y el movimiento como epistemologías del mundo contemporáneo
De la misma manera que el movimiento y el nomadismo, en tanto que formas de vida opuestas al sedentarismo, implican no solo el abandono de la idea de un hogar fijo sino también un desafío activo o una evitación furtiva de la autoridad sedentaria del estado, el movimiento y el nomadismo como epistemologías confrontan el orden generalmente fijo de los lenguajes, discursos y perspectivas con los que la ciencia intenta explicar nuestro mundo social. …
Re)visitando a la madre (des)naturalizada: Búsquedas y encuentros entre personas adoptadas en Chile y sus madres de origen
En este artículo se presentan algunos resultados de una investigación cualitativa que explora y analiza las narrativas de un grupo de personas adultas que fueron adoptadas en Chile, que han buscado sus orígenes y que han establecido contacto con sus madres de origen. En sus narrativas, las personas entrevistadas adhieren, tensionan y/o desafían los principios y discursos que conforman las políticas y prácticas adoptivas hegemónicas, resignificand…
On Reproductive Work in Spain: Transnational Adoption, Egg Donation, Surrogacy
Spain's plummeting fertility since the late twentieth century may seem to reflect a waning desire for children. Nevertheless, reproductive disappointments resulting from gender inequalities cause many Spanish women to postpone motherhood and experience age-related fertility problems. For them, creating a family often becomes possible only through the reproductive labor of other women. Our analysis of transnational adoption, egg donation, and surr…
Rescue, red tape, child abduction, illicit adoptions, and discourse: Intercountry adoption attitudes in Spain
Evidence of child abduction for intercountry adoption challenges our notions of altruism. The history of illicit adoptions and child abduction is presented with specific emphasis on Guatemala as a case example. Drawing on data produced in an ethnographic research, the analysis searches to elucidate how those involved in intercountry adoption in Spain (mainly adoptive and prospective adoptive parents) deal with signs of fraud and corruption. The r…
Étrangers dans leur ville: Les jeunes issus de l’adoption internationale à Barcelone
Les jeunes issus de l'adoption internationale, en Catalogne, convoquent de manière paradoxale la figure de l'étranger décrite par Simmel : à la fois proches et lointains ; semblables pour avoir vécu la majeure partie de leur vie au sein de la population dont leurs parents sont originaires et pourtant souvent considérés comme différents. En effet, bien qu'ils soient pleinement citoyens du lieu où ils ont grandi, bon nombre d'entre eux ne sont pas …
"La regulación política de la familia. Ideología, desigualdad y género en el "Plan Integral de Apoyo a la Familia
This article reflects on the ideological components underlying public policies affecting the family and their meaning in the context in which they are activated. It analyzes the "Comprehensive Family Support Plan 2014-2017. Working Draft", prepared by the Spanish government. In the current phase of reactivation of neoliberal policies, the family is expected to strengthen its functions of protection and care for its members, in correspondence with…
You don't take anything for granted: The role of anthropology in improving services, policies, and parenting practices for adoptive families
This article examines the impact of the transnational adoption research of an interdisciplinary group of researchers (AFIN). Since 2004, AFIN has successfully developed several research projects with the participation of practitioners and adoptive families and their associations. AFIN uses an ethnographic method and an anthropological perspective-which provides insights on transnational adoption, politics, and professional culture in Spain. This …
‘I Am White … Even If I Am Racially Black’ ‘I Am Afro-Spanish’: Confronting Belonging Paradoxes in Transracial Adoptions
Transnational adoption and ‘racial’ diversity as a result of immigration developed nearly at the same time in Spain. This circumstance offers a singular frame to examine what has been called the ‘new rhetorics of exclusion in Europe’, in which ‘race’ is replaced by ‘ethnicity’. Through four case studies of transracial adult adoptees in Spain, this text explores how the ‘racialisation’ of their bodies is (re)negotiated in their self-construction p…
