Abstract:
Transnational mobility of people in the global scale represents a catalyst for the social movements demands articulated “from below”. Transnational advocacy groups carry out strategies that overcome the national boundaries both in global conflicts and local demands. The transnational advocacy organizations of Argentines living in Rome and Barcelona work in this strategic framework. This thesis presents the results of an ethnographical work situated in Rome, Barcelona and Buenos Aires. We studied the advocacy action of argentine organizations in Rome and Barcelona supporting the demands of social movements in the country of origin. Here we examine the relations network generated by their “transnational social fields” and analyze the (re)production of identity in the receiving societies as a result of an interaction between political meanings and exile/migrant status.
