Recent scholarship on care urges close ethnographic attention to specific care practices rather than to the reflexive, meaning‐making accounts that dominated previous work, setting up a distinction between enacting and signifying care. However, as transnational Salvadoran families care through cross‐border communication, they produce and enact imaginaries of relational obligation that constitute asymmetrical care roles for migrants and nonmigrants. Communicative care practices thus simultaneously produce care and make care meaningful. As a multifunctional form of social action, care through communication works to sustain transnational kin ties even as it mirrors and incrementally reproduces global inequalities between North and South. The communicative mobilization of care across space and time thus regenerates kinship in ways that enact political belonging and exclusion.

跨界关怀沟通：在萨尔瓦多跨国家庭中建立和选择义务关系

最近有关护理的学术研究敦促民族志学密切关注特定的护理实践，而不是对主导以往工作的反思性，有意义的叙述，从而在制定和象征性护理之间做出区分。但是，随着萨尔瓦多跨国家庭通过跨国交流进行照料，他们产生并制定了关系义务假想，构成了对移民和非移民的不对称照护角色。因此，沟通护理实践可以同时产生护理并使护理具有意义。作为一种社会行动的多功能形式，通过交流进行照护可以维持跨国的亲密关系，即使它反映并逐步重现了南北之间的全球不平等。因此，跨时空传播护理的交流动员以制定政治归属和排斥的方式重新产生了血缘关系。[护理，交流，跨国家庭，移民，政治经济学]
