RIVERO, Patricia J. Multilocalized research in transnational migratory studies: theoretical and practical contributions. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.28, pp.327-342. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article presents some theoretical and methodological considerations around the multilocalized research designs for the study of migrations. After the innovative proposal of anthropology to "follow" an object of study in movement, the field of migration became the most common contemporary research genre for this type of approach, especially if we focus on the work from a transnational perspective. It is argued that the multilocal researcher must construct research designs capable of"mapping" the social space of the studied group that is relationally analyze the places in which the subjects of study move. Precisely there is the contribution of the multisituated works: it is not the diversity of sites and locations where the researcher is located what makes its methodological contribution, but the construction of an object of study centered on the relationships, associations and links between those places. It is argued that while multisituated investigations offer wide methodological advantages, they also imply several challenges. The article illustrates the theoretical discussion about multilocalization with the design of a research on Argentinians returned from Spain in the period 2008-2016
