HERRERA, Gioconda y S0RENSEN, Ninna Nyberg. International Migrations in Latin America: Critical Views on the Production of a Field of Knowledge. Introduction to dossier. Íconos [online]. 2017, n.58, pp.11-36. ISSN 1390-8065. https://doi.org/10.17141/iconos.58.2017.2695.
This article presents a reflection from three dimensions on epistemological and political logics that crosscut the studies on migrations in Latin America: 1) the increasing heterogeneity of flows and the need to rethink the conceptual categories from which migrations are addressed; 2) the dialogue and appropriation of analytical frameworks produced in other regions in Latin American studies; and 3) the political agendas of the States in the region and in the North, and their selective influence on the production of knowledge. The objective is to offer a general reflection on the production of the field of studies on migrations in Latin America to serve as a context for the analysis of the five articles presented in this dossier of Íconos.
