Abstract
Description
En la provincia de Jujuy, en la frontera norte de Argentina con Bolivia, la figura “típica” de “la
mujer boliviana embarazada que cruza la frontera para parir del lado argentino” ordena gran
parte de las percepciones y valoraciones de muchos argentinos. Recursos materiales, derechos
de ciudadanía y sentidos de pertenencia comparecen en relatos y afirmaciones de rechazo a estas
mujeres y sus prácticas. El artículo
muestra cómo las mujeres bolivianas que cruzan la frontera son vistas como factor perturbador
y revelan una doble amenaza a la “integridad”: a una integridad social entendida como desigualdad
regulada y a una integridad nacional/racial entendida como comunidad de sangre.
In the province of Jujuy, located on the northern border of Argentina and Bolivia, the widespread image of the “Bolivian pregnant woman who crosses the border to give birth on the Argentine side” orders a great deal of the perceptions, views and ideals of many Argentineans. Themes relating to material resources, to rights of citizenship and to meanings and feelings of belonging appear in stories and statements that reject and condemn these women. This paper shows that Bolivian women who cross the border are seen as a societal disturbance, and embody a double threat to “integrity”: to social integrity, understood as a system of regulated inequality, and to national/racial integrity, understood as a holistic ethnic community.
