Abstract
This thesis addresses the ways in which the political cultures of migrant groups interact in the formation of a space for political coordination. The object of study of this thesis is constituted by the communication practices of the migrant organization called Bloque de Trajadorxs Migrantes (BTM) that develops its activities in AMBA, since its creation in 2017 until the first months of 2020 (prior to the start of the pandemic by COVID-19 in our country). Here we understand communication practices as those activities of public communication and questioning of “others” carried out by the BTM. In them, aspects of specific political cultures materialize, that is, a set of discursive operations, intelligibility resources, interpretive and affective frameworks through which sense is produced about activism itself, the relationship with the State, the possible ways of participation and action, the limits of the collective, among other issues. This implies knowing the (re) configuration of demands and the ways in which the organization discursively constructs itself and, in turn, its “others” in the context of specific disputes.
We are interested, then, in analyzing the communication practices of the aforementioned organization as forms of politicization of the migrant issue at a specific moment in the history of our country, characterized by a change in state treatment of this population.
The thesis is framed within a communicational approach characterized by Aníbal Ford, within the framework of Latin American cultural studies, as a field whose typically transdisciplinary character derives from the need to frame the study of communicational phenomena in a theory of culture (Ford, 1994). In this way, he proposes a kind of "thick protodescription" (Ford, op. cit., v. Geertz, 1974) for studies that focus on communication and culture as a whole, and from there we understand that communication phenomena cannot be analytically separated from the synchronic and diachronic, historical and structural context, nor its specific production conditions.
Then, from the studies of communication and culture, a type of qualitative methodological approach is proposed, which will allow analyzing the various communication practices, as a significant dimension that will allow us to make visible aspects of political cultures in the period studied. In turn, the use of this approach allows the possibility of making interpretations in a dense way (Geertz; 1987). The corpus is made up of the publications made by the BTM on its social networks, specifically on Facebook, in its double modality: in its profile and in coordination with the Migrar no es delito (Migration is not a crime) campaign. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with their main referents and participated by observing interventions located in the public space of the Bloque de Trabajadorxs Migrantes (Migrant Workers Block).
The investigation and analysis of the forms of mediatization together with the analysis of the activities and interactions of the members of the BTM will allow us to identify aspects of contemporary political cultures, the ways in which they make sense of their struggle and of the world.
