The migration from the perspective of labor: flows and shifting temporalities of capitalism

Abstract

This discussion focuses on the analysis of the recent and importantBrazilian emigration to Spain. Among the theoretical positions that allow tounderstanding dynamic of populational shifts, it was elected the analyticalcategory of work. Based on this perspective, we question, in the present study,the impact of the restructuring of work since the last decades of the twentiethcentury as an answer of the dominant production system to the crises of theFordist stage of capitalistic accumulation. It is due to job search, as it occurswith Brazilian immigrants in Spain.
