WORKING CONDITIONS IN THE AGRICULTURAL HARVESTS OF MENDOZA (ARGENTINA). THE CASE OF THE BOLIVIAN MIGRANTS

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. En base a un trabajo de campo etnográfico realizado entre 2009 y 2015 en los territorios agrícolas de Mendoza, me propongo reconstruir algunas especificidades del trabajo estacional, en tanto segmento laboral donde las/os migrantes procedentes de Bolivia se encuentran históricamente sobrerrepresentadas/os. Para ello analizo las condiciones de trabajo que afectan al sector y que persisten a pesar de las profundas transformaciones del trabajo en la agricultura latinoamericana. Focalizo luego en las marcas corporales que resultan moldeadas por dichos contextos sociales y culturales, para profundizar después en algunas modalidades mediante las cuales estas/os trabajadoras/es racionalizan estas condiciones, apelando a las categorías de orgullo étnico y mitos de etnicidad. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan a que la marcación de diferencias culturales y corporales naturalizadas permite a los trabajadores tanto tolerar las precarias condiciones de trabajo y de vida como facilitar su articulación en estos segmentos del mercado de trabajo.  Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2019-07-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos revisados por pares application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/23554 10.55441/1668.7515.n23.23554 Astrolabio; No. 23 (2019): Julio - Diciembre, MIRAR EL TRABAJO DESDE SU TRANSVERSALIDAD: ENFOQUES, PERSPECTIVAS Y METODOLOGÍAS PENSADAS DESDE LATINOAMÉRICA; 27-52 Astrolabio; Núm. 23 (2019): Julio - Diciembre, MIRAR EL TRABAJO DESDE SU TRANSVERSALIDAD: ENFOQUES, PERSPECTIVAS Y METODOLOGÍAS PENSADAS DESDE LATINOAMÉRICA; 27-52 Astrolabio; n. 23 (2019): Julio - Diciembre, MIRAR EL TRABAJO DESDE SU TRANSVERSALIDAD: ENFOQUES, PERSPECTIVAS Y METODOLOGÍAS PENSADAS DESDE LATINOAMÉRICA; 27-52 1668-7515 10.55441/1668.7515.n23 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/23554/24185
