Presentación del dossier: Migraciones Internacionale en América Latina: Miradas críticas a la producción de un campo de conocimientos

This article presents a reflection from three dimensions on epistemological and political logics that crosscut the study on migrations in Latin America: 1) the increasing heterogeneity of flows and the need to rethink the conceptual categories from which migrations are addressed; 2) the dialogue and appropriation of analytical frameworks produced in other regions in Latin American Studies; and 3) the political agendas of the states in the region and in the North, and their selective influence on the production of knowledge. The objective is to offer a general reflection on the production of the field of studies on migration in Latin America to serve as a context for the analysis of the five articles presented in this dossier of ìconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales.
