Resumen

La innovación de este artículo radica en su análisis de una dimensión del cuidado transnacional que ha recibido poca atención en la literatura, el cuidado de los bienes patrimoniales. El estudio revela cómo este tipo de cuidados reorganiza las dinámicas de la (in)movilidad en los hogares transnacionales. El segundo aspecto innovador del estudio radica en su análisis de la migración rural-rural, ya que los estudios sobre familias transnacionales se han centrado generalmente en el análisis de la migración rural-urbana. La metodología utilizada consiste en un trabajo de campo multisituado: se realizaron un total de dieciséis entrevistas biográficas a veinte personas de origen cubano residentes en el municipio de Monterroso, situado en la provincia de Lugo (Galicia, España), así como a algunos de sus familiares residentes en las provincias cubanas de Camagüey, Sancti Spíritus y La Habana (Cuba). La conclusión extraída de este análisis pone de relieve la necesidad de explorar el cuidado patrimonial en el espacio transnacional del cuidado. Este tipo de cuidado reorganiza las dinámicas de los hogares transnacionales, llegando incluso a «reinventar» las familias transnacionales, y se integra en la cadena global de cuidados.
