Abstract
PARRINI, Rodrigo; ALQUISIRAS, Luisa and NOCEDAL, Emilio. Pedagogies of the Gift: Solidarity and Subjectivation in Central American Transmigrants in Mexico. Nómadas [online]. 2021, n.54, pp.189-203. Epub Jan 17, 2022. ISSN 0121-7550. https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n54a11.
This article seeks to describe and analyze the practices and narratives around the act of begging, by migrants of Central American origin who circulate irregularly through Mexico. The authors call it pedagogies of the gift to the daily process in which migrants teach and learn how to request for help to survive during their journey. Likewise, they allude to the ethical orientations that these pedagogies give rise to, as well as to the corporal and intersubjective performances that are displayed. In the conclusions, the authors point out that the pedagogies of gift teach us about relationship schemes that are also linked to the rhetorics of begging.
