Abstract

With the Europe’s refugee crisis of recent years, the idea of diaspora (or diasporas) has come to the fore again. Academic productions and research on the subject have now renewed visibility in a process that, despite recent events, has been growing for decades. It thus becomes a necessity to observe the state of the art and to discuss the advances and limits that the diasporas approach has faced in recent years and, particularly, the possibilities that it still has. Therefore, it is necessary to cast a critical view on the main approaches and on the results of diasporic research, raising debates, perspectives and advances in this field. It is necessary to take a critical epistemological view of the main approaches and results of the research on diasporas, raising different debates and perspectives in this field. The criticism facing binarisms and gender debates have questioned homogeneous scientific conceptions especially, as this essay shows, the study of women in diasporic transits, which questions the invisibility of minorities in this process and subverts the paradigm of equality. The impact and reflections that are opened by the theme are also object of this essay, which, not intending to exhaust
the production (especially the historiographic one) on diasporas, presents and revisits the hard core of these researches.
