MAGLIANO, María José. The Meanings of Experiencing Multiple Presences: Bolivian Women in Argentina. Migr. Inter [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.1, pp.165-195. ISSN 2594-0279.

This paper analyzes the contemporary migration of Bolivian women to Cordoba, Argentina. It seeks to reconstruct the fragments that constitute the personal trajectories of these women and the roles they assume in the migration process, taking into account the images, practices and representations that Bolivian women elaborate and express in regard to their condition as Bolivians, women and migrants. It will show that by recovering the migratory experiences of those women it is possible to identify the strategies that Bolivian families implement in the development and consolidation of the migration project to Córdoba. To this end, a qualitative methodology is chosen, combining participant observation and in-depth interviews with Bolivian migrants, both women and men, who arrived in Córdoba between the second half of the 20^th century and the present.

Keywords : migrant women; gender roles; power relationships; Argentina; Bolivia.
