Trayectorias de vida en la experiencia de migración a Bogotá de mujeres viejas santandereanas: una lectura feminista

2021 | Diana Milena Chinchilla Romero
This research aims to analyze the processes of reproduction and change in the life trajectories of three elderly Santander women who migrated to Bogotá. The analysis is developed through the articulation of their narratives, theoretical postulates from feminist perspectives, and categories such as patriarchy, migration, old age, and agency, emphasizing their socialization processes in Santander, the migratory process as a milestone that strengthens their agency capacities, and their experience in old age as the balance of their reproduction of patriarchy and their resistances. Using a biographical method, the study contributes to reflecting on the processes of assembling of old women, making visible their active role in the face of manifestations of patriarchy, and how the milestone of migration contributed to the strengthening of social, cultural, and economic capitals, which are key elements for the evolution of their agency capacity in each one of them, and their legacy in new generations. Finally, the research reflects on the recovery of old age in women as the balance of their experiences, valuing and making visible their actions in particular historical contexts where possibilities were limited by patriarchy, but at the same time, their agency capacities were strengthened, giving them decision-making tools, favoring their autonomy and independence in their trajectories.This research aims to analyze the processes of reproduction and change in the life trajectories of three elderly Santander women who migrated to Bogotá.
