MERENSON, Silvina. Agency and Inequality in Transnational Political Action: Electoral Displacements by the Frente Amplio de Uruguay in Argentina (1984-2014). Hist. Soc. [online]. 2021, n.40, pp.297-323.  Epub Mar 08, 2021. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n40.82485.

This paper describes and analyzes the electoral displacements carried out by the Frente Amplio de Uruguay in Argentina between 1984 and 2014, attending to the political networks, the channels for the circulation of information and the material infrastructure that made them possible. Starting from written sources and ethnographic data (results of intensive and multi-sited fieldwork), the article synthesizes the history of FAUA and explores the transformations and continuities in the management of these displacements by transnational activism. The conclusions address the debates around transnational political practices and reflect on the articulations between agency and inequality.

Keywords : transnational migrations; political participation; electoral processes; inequality.
