“…In Germany, prostitution takes place in call-in flats and there is money (cf. Oso Casas, 2010); life is impossible because of the police in France; in Spain, street prostitution is badly paid but relaxed; and so on round Europe. But ongoing movement and displacement is also a way of evading durational time.…”

Venezuelan transformistas migrate to Europe in order to occupy the lucrative niche of transgender sex work. With their earnings, they enhance the process of transforming their male bodies towards perfect femininity. Various forms of liminality are inherent both in transformistas' migration and in their bodily transformation. This paper aims at an understanding of how they arrived at their present situation by following their lives through time and space. It explores motivations for migration as well as the economic and affective dimensions of relations evolving from recruitment practices that are based on sexual identity and gender. The negotiation of love for their natural mothers through economic transactions is interpreted as a change of status that became possible in the context of migration.

“…En Europa, esta es una gran área de investigación y activismo, en la que la cruzada moral suele ocultar las estructuras de explotación laboral (Anderson y Davidson, 2003, Anderson y Andrijasevic, 2008, Oso, 2010 Al igual que Laura Agustín, Parrenas ve a las trabajadoras sexuales migrantes desde la postura de los mercados laborales y las limitaciones estructurales, en lugar de considerarlas como mujeres inmorales o desafortunadas víctimas de la explotación. A diferencia de Agustín, Parrenas ofrece una etnografía detallada de la dependencia que tienen las industrias sexuales japonesas de mujeres filipinas, hostesses y entertainers transgéneros.…”

26 ResumenEn los últimos treinta años la investigación sobre género y migración ha crecido de manera significativa, pero es necesario preguntarse dónde se encuentra hoy, a comienzos del siglo veintiuno. Gran parte de la investigación sobre inmigración muestra una ceguera androcéntrica continua hacia los asuntos feministas y de género (Morakvasic, 1984;Pedraza, 1991), situación que a pesar de no ser novedosa, sigue siendo real. Sin embargo, en este ensayo se presenta una historia diferente, ya que hoy sí existen estudios dinámicos sobre género y migración. La indagación académica sigue estando, de cierto modo, fragmentada y en este breve ensayo esbozo seis corrientes distintivas de investigación de género y migración.[2]Pierrette Hondagneu -Sotelo, Estudios de género y migración: Una revisión desde la perspectiva del siglo XXI Autoctonía.

“…In all the countries addressed in the papers, migrants constitute a relevant part of the labour force, and they appear to endure the worst working conditions and the worst forms of stigmatisation and criminalisation. This vulnerability is often grounded in the combination of being a sex worker and having an irregular migration status (Oso Casas 2010). For instance, Gilmour states that in the context of her research in Australia, irregular migrant workers on average have less autonomy in their work in brothels, and are more often pushed into offering unsafe sex, along with people who use drugs and older sex workers.…”

Increasingly, prostitution and other activities in the sex industries have been conceptualised as forms of labour, or at least as income-generating activities. As labour, these activities are exposed to particular risks with respect to health, working conditions, exploitation and stigmatisation. However, research on the actual conditions and circumstances existing in these markets, remains limited. The present article introduces some of the main issues researchers may face when studying quality of work in the sex industry, and it does so by introducing and discussing the six pieces of research published in the Special Section Exploitation and Its Opposite. Researching the quality of working life in the sex industries'. Four main points are discussed as being central to this emerging field of research: methodological challenges, the inclusion of different market segments, consideration of migration issues, and the role of legislative regimes. The authors stress the importance of developing precise comparisons between different types of sex work, of engaging between qualitative and quantitative approaches to quality of work, and finally of looking beyond the industry, comparing sex work to other forms of work.
