This paper examines the mechanisms of reproduction and transformation of the transnational parental links among Mexican migrants working temporarily in Quebec as seasonal agricultural workers. In particular, I will analyze the economic, social and cultural impact the regular remittances have on these families. These monetary transfer practices will be examined based on the hypothesis that they constitute a particular economic habitus (Bourdieu, 2000, 2008). The latter is to be observed in the more or less traumatic affinity (or distance) generated by the concrete historical practices of the migrant workers and by the cognitive and behavioural exigencies imposed by the seasonal agricultural work. Among these exigencies, we can mention the subjectivation related to the discipline of a wage-earning work fastened to a maximal productivity, the language ability, the forms of monetary calculation and the cultural norms of consumption and saving, as well as the learning of the moral models of monetary distribution within the family. The notion of economic habitus, allow us to better understand the dynamics of reciprocal translation between the quantitative dimension of money, as a homogeneous and impersonal means of exchange, and its qualitative dimension, as personalized monetary transfers, expressing parental relations and their emotional meaning. This arduous activity of exegesis turns out intense on the typical daily life of migrant workers, where one could observe the emergence of a particular "sens pratique" (Bourdieu, 1989).
