QUIROS, Julieta. Born, Raised, Arrived: Class Relations and Socio-Spatial Geometries in Neo-Rural Migration in Contemporary Argentina. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.2, pp.271-287. ISSN 0121-215X. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v28n2.7351.
In many European and Latin American countries, the gradual displacement of urban middle classes to small rural, "inland" locations has become a sui generis modality of internal migration in the past two decades. Rural studies call this migration phenomenon "neoruralism". This article studies the neo-rural movement from a geopolitical perspective, understanding it as a process of spatial (re)inscription of class relations and historically shaped inequalities. The study is based on ethnographic research focused on the analysis of migration processes taking place in a highland region of the province of Córdoba, Argentina. By exploring the everyday dynamics of the relations of alterity between autochthonous populations ("born and raised") and migrants ("arrived"), the study identifies the ways in which the structural conditions of inequality give rise to situations of spatial injustice and dispossession of space and of other socially significant goods. As a result, we assert the epistemological and political need of a research agenda aimed at questioning neo-rural migration from a class perspective, as well as of designing policies of difference and autochthony to mitigate or reverse the configuration and invisibilization of unjust geographies.
Highlights: Research article that proposes an agenda aimed at questioning contemporary neo-rural migration form a class perspective, in order to identify and combat spatial inequalities and injustices that are invisibilized.
