Resumen
Entre los años 2015 y 2016 se produjo un aumento en las movilidades
extraregionales a través de Centroamérica. La presencia de migrantes
provenientes de varios países de África, produjo desafíos institucionales
para su abordaje, así como la elaboración de discursos sociales
estructurados en categorías raciales. Un concepto fundamental para
entender dicha coyuntura es el cuerpo migrante, en su implicación
ontológica y su carácter de trashumancia sobre las narrativas del poder
representado por los Estados-nación y vinculado con el funcionamiento
de regímenes corporales, histórica y socialmente situados. Esta reflexión
recupera la construcción racializada del cuerpo migrante en los
dispositivos institucionales y en los discursos sociales vinculados con
la coyuntura de las transmigraciones africanas producidas en Costa
Rica en los últimos años.
Between 2015 and 2016 there was an increase in extraregional mobility through Central America. The presence of migrants from several countries in Africa produced institutional challenges for their approach, as well as the elaboration of structured social discourses in racial categories. A fundamental concept to understand this situation is the migrant body, in its ontological implication and its transhumance character over the narratives of the power represented by nation-states and linked to the functioning of socially situated and historically situated bodily regimes. This reflection recovers the racialized construction of the migrant body in the institutional devices and in the social discourses linked to the situation of the African transmigrations produced in Costa Rica in recent years.
