Aportes de la teoría transnacional en la comprensión de las familias migrantes

Abstract

This documentary research seeks to identify what has been the contribution of transnational theory to the understanding of migrant families, starting from the documentary analysis of studies that develop approaches from this perspective and focused on migrant families as an object of study. . Documentary-type research helps us to compare what are the interpretations of different authors from multiple perspectives to the new transformations of family contexts through international migration in the framework of transnationalism. That is, the configuration of family identity within the simultaneous and interconnected life between places of destination and origin and how in this way migrants end up challenging, reconfiguring and focusing studies on transnational families as a new field of intervention. Through the analysis that will be carried out, it is intended to generate a concept that attempts to compile the main postulates of some studies on the very nature of the transnational family and to recognize the contributions of this particular family configuration given from migrations and how these studies can give clues or contributions for the social intervention carried out by Social Work professionals as a disciplinary-professional field.
