En el artículo se examina el capital espacial adquirido por los trabajadores agrícolas mexicanos en Canadá como un activo que puede brindarles un poder o una influencia en contextos de trabajo no libre. Se propone pensar el mercado laboral agrícola como un campo bourdiano. Se recurre a un enfoque cualitativo, apoyado en cinco entrevistas individuales y dos colectivas efectuadas en 2011 en granjas y espacios públicos en la zona periférica de la Región de Montreal, Quebec. Fragmentos de las entrevistas permiten observar el espacio como sitio de conflicto y como un tipo de capital que confiere a los trabajadores la capacidad de agencia para enfrentarse a las relaciones de dominación y subordinación del “campo del trabajo temporal agrícola migrante en Canadá”, así como al aislamiento y exclusión socioespacial. También se observan otras formas de capital como el lingüístico y el social, los cuales permiten generar y elevar el capital espacial. 2020-12-17 2021-06-03T03:39:46Z 2021-06-03T03:39:46Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895 10.21670/ref.2021063 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6954 spa eng https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1875 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1876 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1877 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1878 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1887 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1888 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1889 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/895/1890 Derechos de autor 2020 Estudios Fronterizos text/xml application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html text/xml text/html application/epub+zip application/pdf Montreal, Quebec, Canada Montreal, Quebec, Canadá Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 21 (2020) Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 21 (2020) 2395-9134 0187-6961 |

The article examines the spatial capital acquired by Mexican agricultural workers in Canada as an asset that can give them power of influence in contexts of unfree labour. It proposes to think about agricultural labour markets as fields, after Bourdieu. A qualitative approach is used, and the text is based on five individual and two collective interviews conducted in 2011 on farms and in public spaces in the peripheral area of the Montreal Region, Quebec. Fragments of the interviews allow us to observe the space as a site of conflict and as a capital that gives workers the capacity for agency which allows them to confront relations of domination and subordination in the “field of migrant agricultural seasonal work in Canada”, and to confront socio-spatial isolation and exclusion. Other forms of capital are also observed, such as linguistic and social, which allow spatial capital to be to generate and increased. |
