| Sumario: | The model of agribusiness in Latin America, marked by the imperative of flexibility, technological development and network production, has led to profound changes in employment and in the patterns of spatial mobility of capital and agrarian workers. Despite their limited visibility in recent studies, migrant temporary agrarian workers are a complex and heterogeneous group, present in a wide variety of labor markets. The aim of this article is to reflect on the spatiality of these workers, from a critical perspective. We review studies referred to migrant temporary workers in Latin America (focusing on Argentina, Mexico and Brazil), in order to examine the way in which the spatial dimension has been approached, taking as reference the passage from structuralist perspectives on mobility to post-structuralist. We present a case study in the Pampas region (Argentina) about workers specialized in new technologies. We offer a theoretical-conceptual and methodological proposal with axis in the concept of “spatio-temporal fix”, which allows to approach in an integrated and dialectical way the different senses of spatiality, the spatial and temporal dimension and the strategies of workers in relation to those of capital. |
