MERENSON, Silvina. Territorialities of Extraterritorial State Action: Diasporic Bureaucracies and Uruguayan Migrants in New York and Buenos Aires. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.55, n.1, pp.239-265. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.593.

This paper explores and connects places where extraterritorial state action is practiced by officials of Uruguayan consulates in New York and Buenos Aires and mediated by migrants. In the framework of Transnational Studies, and based on a multi-situated fieldwork, I analyze the production of space as place, as well as diverse ways of understanding "the State", represen ting it or feeling represen ted by it. For that, I describe the places where extraterritorial state action takes shape. The differences and similarities between the cases allow us to observe the ways in which migratory trajectories, in conjunction with "consular styles", territorialize (at the place of destination) extraterritorial policies (of origin).

Palabras clave : Transnational Studies; diasporic bureaucracies; migrants; territorialization.
