Abstract
PEREZ RIPOSSIO, Ramiro Nicolas. Sociability and migration of south American travestis/trans in AMBA: Solidarities, tensions and conflicts. Inter.c.a.mbio [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.2, e51220. ISSN 1659-4940. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/c.a..v19i2.51220.
The article studies the different links that South American travestis / trans women constitute, once they have consolidated migration in the AMBA. In this way, it contributes to gender and migration studies through findings that expose the different sociabilities that South American transvestites and transvestites constitute, as well as the forms of socialization that affect these processes. Through a qualitative approach and the application of grounded theory as a method, a theoretical sample was developed consisting of 41 in-depth interviews that allowed reaching theoretical saturation. In this writing, it was found that migrants, after completing the migration, and as a result of socialization, build links in different spaces (areas where prostitution is practiced, night sociability and in political organizations) that fluctuate between cooperative attitudes, hostility and indifference. In particular, godmothers, friends and fellow activists are the main agents of socialization and with whom they constitute ties of a different character.
