Abstract
Este artículo presenta avances de investigación etnográfica considerando hitos históricos en la migración transnacional de chilotes desde los años
cincuenta hasta los ensamblajes actuales en lugares de la Patagonia chilena y argentina. En particular, se analizan etapas de movilidad vinculadas al auge
económico en territorios australes, destacando sectores de inserción laboral en ambos lados de la frontera. Los resultados preliminares muestran las conexiones culturales reservadas a lugares de origen y residencia a través de la formación de comunidades, circulación de mercancías, extensión de significados y nuevas trayectorias migratorias interregionales. La plataforma metodológica
corresponde a etnografías en movimiento derivadas de acercamientos circunstanciales en diferentes localidades de Chiloé y la Patagonia, entre diciembre de 2015 y mayo de 2017. Las reflexiones en este trabajo hacen un aporte a los estudios sobre movilidades humanas en el sur de Chile analizadas desde perspectivas multilocales, que permiten localizar continuidades culturales en la
migración vivida
This article presents new ethnographical information on milestones in the history of the transnational migration of Chilotes (inhabitants of Chiloe Island, southern Chile), from the 1950s up to the assemblages existing today in different parts of Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia. In particular, we analyse stages in the development of mobility linked to the economic boom in these southern territories, highlighting sectors in which jobs were created on both sides of the border. The preliminary results show how cultural connections are retained with places of origin and residence through the formation of communities, the circulation of goods, the extension of symbolic meanings and new inter-regional migratory trajectories. The methodology used was that of ethnographies in movement derived from circumstantial approaches in different locations in Chiloe and Patagonia between December 2015 and May 2017. The reflections in this work are a contribution to studies on human mobility in southern Chile from multi-local perspectives that allow cultural continuities to be identified in the experience of migration
