description Based on an ethnographic fieldwork carried out between 2009 and 2015 in the agricultural territories of Mendoza, I intend to reconstruct some specificities of the seasonal work as a labor segment where migrants from Bolivia are historically overrepresented. To this end, I analyze the working conditions that affect the sector and that persist despite the profound transformations of work in Latin American agriculture. Then I focus on certain corporal manifestations that are shaped by these social and cultural contexts, to go deeper into some modalities by which these workers rationalize these conditions, appealing to the categories of ethnic pride and myths of ethnicity. The results obtained suggest that the marking of naturalized cultural and corporal differences allows workers to tolerate precarious working and living conditions, as well as to facilitate their articulation in these segments of the labor market.
