Over time, articles published have explored a wide range of issues (such as sexuality, racism, classism, borders, mobility, family, etc.) by moving away from androcentric, heteronormative, and Western paradigms. Situating the analysis within a Francophone—and particularly French—academic tradition, the authors show how the growing attention to women in migration studies has been accompanied by a more complex analytical lens. This shift is evident both in the consideration of new migratory configurations, themes, and geographical areas, and in the reinterpretation of themes previously addressed. Adopting a feminist perspective also makes it possible to examine the complexity of knowledge-power systems, and to decentre Eurocentric viewpoints, thereby advancing the understanding of migration phenomena within a critical and reflexive global epistemological space. Cet article propose une relecture critique et une mise en perspective des articles de la REMI abordant la question des migrations féminines. Les articles publiés au fil du temps ont approfondi de nombreuses problématiques (sexualité, racisme, classisme, frontières, circulations, famille, etc.) en prenant de la distance vis-à-vis du paradigme androcentrique, hétéronormatif et occidental. En se positionnant dans une tradition francophone — et surtout française — les autrices montrent comment l’attention croissante des études migratoires envers les femmes a été accompagnée par une complexification du regard tant dans la prise en compte de nouvelles configurations migratoires, de nouvelles thématiques et de nouvelles aires d’étude que dans une relecture de celles qui avaient déjà été traitées. L’adoption d’une perspective féministe permet également de considérer la complexité des systèmes de pouvoir de connaissance et relativiser le point de vue eurocentré afin de faire avancer la compréhension des phénomènes migratoires dans un espace épistémologique global critique et réflexif. Este artículo ofrece una relectura crítica y una puesta en perspectiva de los artículos de la REMI que abordan la cuestión de las migraciones femeninas. Los artículos publicados a lo largo del tiempo han profundizado en numerosas problemáticas (sexualidad, racismo, clasismo, fronteras, circulaciones, familia, etc.) tomando distancia respecto al paradigma androcéntrico, heteronormativo y occidental. Situándose en una tradición francófona —y, sobre todo, francesa—, las autoras muestran cómo la creciente atención de los estudios sobre migración hacia las mujeres ha ido acompañada de una mayor complejidad en la mirada, tanto en la consideración de nuevas configuraciones migratorias, nuevas temáticas y nuevos ámbitos de estudio, como en una relectura de los que ya habían sido tratados. La adopción de una perspectiva feminista también permite considerar la complejidad de los sistemas de poder del conocimiento y relativizar el punto de vista eurocéntrico con el fin de avanzar en la comprensión de los fenómenos migratorios en un espacio epistemológico global crítico y reflexivo. |

This article offers a critical rereading and contextualisation of REMI articles addressing the issue of women’s migration. Over time, articles published have explored a wide range of issues (such as sexuality, racism, classism, borders, mobility, family, etc.) by moving away from androcentric, heteronormative, and Western paradigms. Situating the analysis within a Francophone—and particularly French—academic tradition, the authors show how the growing attention to women in migration studies has been accompanied by a more complex analytical lens. This shift is evident both in the consideration of new migratory configurations, themes, and geographical areas, and in the reinterpretation of themes previously addressed. Adopting a feminist perspective also makes it possible to examine the complexity of knowledge-power systems, and to decentre Eurocentric viewpoints, thereby advancing the understanding of migration phenomena within a critical and reflexive global epistemological space. |
