Abstract
By parting from the Migratory Networks Theory and by using an ethnographic approach, this research describes three Senegalese migratory networks in Buenos Aires, their origins and their way of functioning. In this sense, this paper addresses these migrants as a heterogeneous group with different ethnic, religious and territorial belongings.
The connections created between these migrants, allow observing their migratory projects. Hence, these projects allow observing how some migrants desire to settle in the country, while others opt for mobility between Argentina and Senegal. Likewise, while for some of them the final goal is to achieve family regrouping in Argentina, for others, is to develop their life having a transnational family. From this perspective, this paper intends to stand away from theories that consider migrants as economic units; or from other theories which consider migration as a group of individual decisions based on cost-benefit relations.
These networks are the base from which migrants develop their social, religious and cultural habits; while allowing them to establish connections that transcend national borders. Senegalese living in Buenos Aires are transnational migrants that have built their lives between origin and destination. Their networks are not the same and have different kinds of intensity; mainly related to the variety of migratory journeys and to the insertion processes they´ve experienced.
Not all the connections and bonds are similar. While some allow migrants to develop social capital for improving the different phases of their migratory journeys; other rather depend on economic relations. This research understands social capital among these networks as a series of strategies that migrants have to mobilize resources and to make them part of their migratory processes.
