Abstract
Approaching work experiences in sewing is essential to understand the migrant life experience in Argentina since the clothing industry has been one of the main job niches available in Buenos Aires for migrants for decades. In this article I analyze in depth how immigration status impacts work experiences and relationships in clothing manufacturing based on qualitative data. To this end, I incorporate substantive support in the categories developed by Abdelmalek Sayad from a situated reading. Their ideas serve as a prism to look at migrant specificity in a clothing manufacturing factory and - with the intention of avoiding the importation of analytical categories in a linear and abstract way - they are combined with the conclusions of a group of researchers. localities that allow giving a spatially and temporally situated meaning to the observed working-class experiences.
