Resumen:
The social interventions designed and implemented to attend to migrant women comply with generating domination and subalternization (Spivak, 1988) effects, through the use of strategies of social differentiation, whose effects in the field of subjectivity are important to elucidate.According to Althusser (1970), "a hail" from the social services produces an interpellation to which some persons respond by turning to it and assisting as beneficiaries or clients. By means of the relationships developed in these spaces, the people that participate engage in a diversity of experiences, discursive and "corporal experience" (De Lauretis, 2000), which incur generating and/or reproducing processes at a subjective level.The strategies of social differentiation in terms of gender (sexual difference), national origin (cultural difference) and the socioeconomic situation contributes in creating the unitary category of "Third World Women" (Mohanty, 2004), one filled with prejudice about the ways in witch these women supposedly are and function. These processes bypass their particular experiences and, in many cases comply with or serve, to obscure the social inequalities that affect their lives. All of this framed within the rules and conditions that the new context establishes as limits and possibilities for the social participation of these communities.
