This paper is based on an understanding of the global immigration control regime as one of legal violence. It analyses the specialist literature that reveals the existence of an economy of deportability, understood as the unequal distribution of the forms of state power in the lives and freedoms of non-nationals, with gender playing a preponderant role. Taking a gender perspective, a selection of texts from the past two decades are reviewed that analyse the deportation and anti-trafficking apparatus in Europe, the United States and South America. The literature corroborates the existence of a gendered economy of deportability that generates social suffering that, in different ways and to differing degrees, shapes the (im)migrant presence in the national order.

Varied and interesting are the debates that have been generated around the concepts of original accumulation, modes of production and modernity in our continent. However, in general these discussions have been framed in the walls of economism and the teleological vision of time and history, as well as eurocentric and androcentric conceptions, which continue dominating the construction of knowledge in Latin American academies. Then, in the following paper I intend to address and read these three fundamental issues, but observing them in critical key from a path that, on the one hand, has remained in a certain theoretical "subalternity" in the regional academy, and on the other, maybe not has deeply problematized these issues from the perspective it seeks to build. My goal is to provide a reading that supports the non-fragmentation of dimensions of oppression such as class, gender and race, generally observed from the Eurocentric categorization that does not seek or manages to unveil its inseparable articulation in the lived social experience, product of the systems of multiple and simultaneous domination. For this, I place the present -and brief-, analysis from the Latin American contributions of decoloniality and decolonial feminism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last two decades, the number and variety of policy instruments implemented in the field of science, technology and innovation in Latin America and particularly in Argentina has increased significantly. In this context, although new initiatives to promote the participation of women in the area have been created, they have been poorly incorporated into inventories and diagnoses in the area. This paper analyzes a specific type of policy instrument: prizes for women in science, in this case the L'Oréal-unesco prize in Argentina. The approach focuses on three main aspects from the point of view of both the research and the formulation of policies: the motivations of the winners to participate, the effects they identify after being distinguished and their opinion about the participation of women in science and its relation to the objectives of the award. The study is based on qualitative evidence through the combination of the analysis of official documents of the sponsoring agencies and the conduction of in-depth interviews with the prize winners.
