Abstract
El artículo propone un marco interpretativo para comprender los procesos migratorios contemporáneos sur-norte, específicamente los que se dan entre el Triángulo Norte Centroamericano (TNCA) y Estados Unidos (EE. UU.). Se centra en dos formas específicas de movilidad migratoria: las caravanas de refugiados y las caravanas de madres de migrantes desaparecidos, para elaborar el argumento de que éstas constituyen manifestaciones concretas de la operación más amplia de ensamblajes trasnacionales desde los cuales se producen socialmente los procesos migratorios. Asimismo, se propone que dichas formas de movilidad suponen estrategias de territorialización e incidencia política que contestan formas de captura estatal y violencia social, generando condiciones para la constitución subjetiva y política de sujetos subalternos.

It focuses on two specific forms of migratory mobility: the caravans of refugees and the caravans of mothers of disappeared migrants, to elaborate the argument that these are concrete manifestations of the broader operation of transnational complexes from which the migratory processes are socially produced. Likewise, it is proposed that these forms of mobility also involve strategies of territorialization and political advocacy that respond to forms of state capture and social violence, generating conditions for the subjective and political constitution of subaltern actors.
