Seasonal temporary workers rebuilding migration projects every year arrive to fruit harvest in the valleys of Rio Negro. To this end, we characterize the spaces of life and work as migration contexts, their family histories and occupational trajectories. The analytical perspective is to visualize them from family social reproduction strategies and to focus on migration projects as one of its own elements. This study can be enrolled in the line of empirical research and theoretical conceptualization on the territorial mobility of workers and the expansion of capital in export agricultural regions. After successive approximations by extensive, typological and comparative procedures, we understand that the study could be enriched by the incorporation of social insights on two histories of life, paradigmatic it is one by its points of anchorage between family history and agrarian social history but both are representative of migratory harvest flows and involve two or three generations of workers. In them, we analyze the mutual relations between labor trajectories, space itineraries and family dynamics. We deepen in vital and occupational trajectories in their historical travesties and space itineraries. Critical perspective and empirical data redefine seasonal work in agriculture and the character that migration process assumes in dynamic regions of dependent capitalism. Workers movements show different levels of territories but also express paradoxical modernization with persistence of marginalization in subalternization.
