这篇文章深入探讨了移动公地的概念，这是在迁移自治(AOM)方法中阐明的。AOM文献通过倡导移民逃亡和隐身来关注移民中介。然而，本文借鉴了来自中美洲北三角(萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、洪都拉斯)的女性移民穿越墨西哥的故事，旨在通过质疑几个基于性别中立知识和二分思维方式的理所当然的假设，来创造并困扰流动公地的概念。利用妇女的经验来质疑关于移民知识的假设，我表明，来自NTCA的女性移民的知识受到性别权力失衡的影响，这种失衡将妇女置于从属地位。分析将首先集中于将移动公地作为一个理论概念进行解释。在此之后，我讨论了如何通过女权主义观点来概念化移动公地，挑战无形的知识和信任的想法，这些思想通常是移动公地概念被使用的方式所不可或缺的。最后，我概述了移民妇女可能使用的生存策略，考虑到她们自己对墨西哥移民背景的了解，并反思这对学术上对流动公地的理解意味着什么。
This article delves into the concept of the mobile commons' which is articulated within the Autonomy of Migration (AoM) approach. The AoM literature focuses on migrant agency by advocating that migrants practice escape' and invisibility'. However, drawing on the stories of women migrants from the Northern Triangle of Central American (NTCA) (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras) travelling through Mexico, this article aims to engender and thereby trouble the concept of the mobile commons by questioning several taken-for-granted assumptions that are based on gender-neutral knowledge and dichotomous ways of thinking. Using women's experiences to question the assumptions made with respect to migrant knowledge', I show that the knowledge among women migrants from the NTCA is influenced by gendered power imbalances that place women in subordinate positions. The analysis will first focus on explaining the mobile commons as a theoretical concept. Following this, I discuss how conceptualizing the mobile commons through a feminist perspective challenges the ideas of invisible knowledge and trust often integral to the ways in which the concept of the mobile commons is used. Finally, I outline the survival strategies that migrant women may use given their own knowledge of the migration context in Mexico, and reflect on what this means for the scholarly understanding of the mobile commons'.
