          Abstract

          Resumen: El artículo reflexiona sobre los vínculos analíticos y empíricos entre el fenómeno de la familia transnacional y la noción de desigualdad social. Primero, se discute la definición de desigualdad y sus posibles escenarios. Luego se presenta un panorama de la literatura existente sobre familias transnacionales, con énfasis en el tipo de estudios. Se propone que la idea de familia transnacional sea un lugar de desigualdades entrelazadas. La tercera parte muestra que las desigualdades de la familia transnacional son un reto de investigación, que puede enfrentarse con la identificación de escalas espaciales. Se sugiere, además de una conexión empírica entre las desigualdades micro y macrosociales, observarlas de manera interconectada.

          Abstract: The paper focuses on the analytical and empirical links between the phenomenon of transnational family and the concept of inequalities. First, we discuss the definition of social inequalities and its variety of empirical scenarios. Subsequently, we describe an overview of the current studies on transnational family, making emphasis on the type of studies rather than summarizing them. at the end of this part, we propose the idea of transnational family as a place of "entangled inequalities". The third part shows that the inequalities within transnational family are a challenge which should be faced through the identification of spatial scales. We suggest not just an empirical connection between inequalities at macro and micro level, but also a way to connecting them.
