RODES GARCIA, Joaquín y PALACIOS RAMIREZ, José. Subjectivation processes and lifestyle migration. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2023, vol.85, n.3, pp.641-668. Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 2594-0651. https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2023.3.60786.
In line with sociological individualization theories, lifestyle migration is seen as resulting from processes of self-realization carried out by reflective subjects. This paper presents an alternative approach focusing on how forms of subjectivity are produced. Based on in-depth interviews with international retired migrants in Spain, the research results point to narratives that go beyond discourses on freedom, decision-making or search of quality of life. This study suggests that a more structural approach is needed, which critically contextualizes migrants’ narratives in current political and cultural frameworks.
