    Woman traders and cross-border circuits: Articulations between care and mobility on the borders of Peru, Bolivia and Chile
    (Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, 2024-01-01)
    Cross-border trade is predominantly conducted by women, and involves the movement and articulation of extensive networks for the circulation (formal or not) of products. Engaging with the perspectives of mobility and gender in border studies, this article examines the configuration of cross-border circuits of women traders. The article demonstrates how commercial activities and caregiving are intertwined in these circuits and discusses this overlap through four socio-spatial arrangements: home, places of sale, border crossing and supply locations. The research is based in two Peruvian cities with border conditions—Tacna (bordering Chile) and Puno (bordering Bolivia)—and involved 62 semi-structured interviews with women engaged in various commercial activities in 2022-2023, primarily second-hand clothing and groceries. These activities are part of a global chain of merchandise circulation that closely links the three countries (Bolivia, Chile, and Peru).

    CROSS-BORDER MOBILITY AND FAMILY CARE THROUGH LIFE CYCLES: EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN TRADERS IN THE PERU-BOLIVIA-CHILE SPACE
    (Arturo Prat University, 2025-01-01)
    This article aims to analyze the changes and continuities in women's trading practices and care responsibilities in the trinational space between Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, examining how they articulate and negotiate their commercial and family roles at different stages of their lives. The central hypothesis posits the existence of regular patterns in the adaptation of trading and care practices according to the life cycle, arguing that participation in trade begins at an early age and intensifies when family responsibilities decrease. The study uses a biographical approach based on retrospective interviews conducted with 62 women traders from different generations in Puno and Tacna. The analysis employs the Ageven form to structure individual trajectories and an adaptation of the Lexis diagram to visualize generational patterns. The findings reveal how women develop adaptive strategies that vary according to their life cycles, highlighting the importance of intergenerational transmission of trading knowledge and the persistent tension between economic autonomy and reproduction of traditional gender roles.
