CALVARIO PARRA, José Eduardo  e  DIAZ CARAVANTES, Rolando Enrique. In the heat of masculinity. Climate, migration and gender regulations in Costa de Hermosillo, Sonora. Región y sociedad [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.spe5, pp.115-146. ISSN 2448-4849.  https://doi.org/10.22198/rys.2017.0.a291.

In this study on migrant agricultural workers in the Costa de Hermosillo, Sonora, we present a first analytical and descriptive approximation of the interaction between climate and masculinity in northwestern Mexico. Through a qualitative methodological approach, which includes semi-structured interviews and field observations in the region studied, we explore the link between male regulations and practices and discourses related with care under conditions of excessive natural heat. It is concluded that the conditions of structural vulnerability in which agricultural workers live are accompanied with gender ideologies that under certain conditions become crucial when deciding to be careful or not with high temperatures.

Palavras-chave : masculinity; internal migration; agricultural laborers; environmental hazards; extreme weather; Costa de Hermosillo.
