          Abstract

          Resumen: En la ciudad de Iquique, ubicada al norte de Chile, el fenómeno migratorio en la actualidad tiene características renovadas, debidas al ingreso de migrantes por pasos fronterizos no habilitados, principalmente desde el cierre de las fronteras legitimado durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Considerando que los regímenes migratorios globales tienen dinámicas similares en diferentes lugares geográficos, pero encuentran procesos locales diferentes, este artículo busca analizar la materialización específica del régimen migratorio en este contexto local. Se explora cómo las organizaciones de la sociedad civil desafían el régimen migratorio a nivel local y qué prácticas de resistencia se pueden identificar. Para este estudio, se realizaron seis entrevistas centradas en el problema a personas ligadas a organizaciones de la sociedad civil que participan en las luchas de los migrantes en la ciudad. Los testimonios permiten sugerir que el régimen migratorio es desafiado a nivel local a través de diversas prácticas de resistencia solidaria y colectiva por parte de la sociedad civil desde abajo, y que los tipos de resistencia tienen diferentes efectos transformadores que influyen en las políticas migratorias.

          Abstract: In the city of Iquique, in northern Chile, new features can currently be identified regarding the phenomenon of migration. This is due to the entry of migrants through unauthorised border crossings, which has mainly occurred since the closure of the borders by law during the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking into account that global migration regimes share similar dynamics in different geographical locations, but encounter a variety of local processes, this article seeks to analyse the specific form that the migration regime has taken in this particular local context. The article explores how civil society organisations challenge the migration regime at the local level, identifying various practices of resistance. For this particular study, six problem-focused interviews were conducted with people who form part of civil society organisations involved in migrants' struggles in the aforementioned city. The testimonies gathered indicate that the migration regime is being challenged at the local level through diverse practices of solidarity and collective resistance by civil society at the grass-roots level, and that the types of resistance that have been adopted have different transformative effects that influence migration policies.
