Abstract:
AbstractIn “Borderlands/La Frontera” (1987), Gloria Anzaldúa writes about the “tradition of long walks” (11) across physical and imaginary borders, which defines her Mexican-American people. The borderland is both a space of transit and a state of transition from where the Chicanos venture into unknown territories. Their identity is constructed around and across space(s). In this paper, I seek to examine the Chicanos’ fluid spatial identity in their searches for a real home, in Pat Mora’s “House of Houses”, Sandra Cisneros’ “The House on Mango Street”, Gloria Anzaldúa’s “Borderlands/La Frontera”. I argue that in these literary and autobiographical works, the cosy domestic home is impossible to find because of constant displacement and imposed mobility.

Abstract:
O contexto histórico-cultural e literário de grande produtividade nos Estados Unidos tem fomentado intensivamente as literaturas imigrantes e de identidades em trânsito que proporcionou a criação de uma obra como Borderlands/La Frontera: the new mestiza (1987), de Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa, dando ensejo ao surgimento de um rótulo em particular - o de literatura chicana - resultante do solo cultural da fronteira México- Estados Unidos. O objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar Borderlands/La Frontera em sua 4ª edição (2012), comemorativa dos vinte e cinco anos de sua publicação, nos aspectos de língua, identidade e cotidiano, representantes de um contexto sociocultural que ultrapassa aquela demarcação, chegando à realidade da América Latina, e por extensão, àqueles que vivem o entre-lugar fronteiriço. Em diálogo com as reflexões de Mignolo (2003) e Santiago (2000) observa-se que a autohistoria da chicana Gloria Anzaldúa materializa-se nas histórias de muitos outros que reinvindicam o direito ao grito.

Abstract:
El artículo examina analíticamente el concepto y la realidad vivida de la frontera sur de México en el contexto de los debates contemporáneos sobre las fronteras con el objetivo de indagar qué tan periférica sigue siendo actualmente. Indagando la llamada tesis de la globalización sin fronteras, se argumenta que ésta logró ampliar el entendimiento de la frontera más allá del estado-centrismo y el eurocentrismo, permitiendo también repensar la frontera sur de México más allá de los centros y las periferias geográfico-nacionales. BEYOND THE CENTER AND THE PERIPHERY: MEXICO’S SOUTHERN BORDER UNDER DEBATE FROM A GLOBALIZATION PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACT The article analytically revisits the concept and reality lived in the southern border/ frontier of Mexico in the context of contemporary Borderlands debates, inquiring how peripheral the region continues to be today. Analyzing the so called borderless globalization thesis, it is argued that the mentioned thesis managed to extend the understanding of the border beyond the previous state-centrism and euro-centrism. This could permit to rethink what we understand as the Mexican southern border today beyond the national-geographic centers and peripheries.

Abstract:
This essay examines Gloria Anzaldúa’s critical appropriation of two Mexican philosophers in the writing of Borderlands/La Frontera: Samuel Ramos and Octavio Paz. We argue that although neither of these authors is cited in her seminal work, Anzaldúa had them both in mind through the writing process and that their ideas are present in the text itself. Through a genealogical reading of Borderlands/La Frontera, and aided by archival research, we demonstrate how Anzaldúa’s philosophical vision of the “new mestiza” is a critical continuation of the broader tradition known as la filosofía de lo mexicano, which flourished during a golden age of Mexican philosophy (1910–1960). Our aim is to open new directions in Latinx and Latin American philosophy by presenting Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera as a profound scholarly encounter with two classic works of Mexican philosophy, Ramos’ Profile of Man and Culture in Mexico and Paz’s The Labyrinth of Solitude.

Esta investigación analiza las siguientes obras en relación con la teoría propuesta por Gloria Anzaldúa en Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987). The House on Mango Street (1984) de Sandra Cisneros, How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accent (1991) y Yo (1997) de Julia Álvarez, Dreaming in Cuban (1992) de Cristina García, Desert Blood: The Juarez Muerders (2005) de Alicia Gaspar de Alba y Las historias prohibidas de Marta Veneranda (1997) de Sonia Rivera-Valdés. Mi análisis parte de la tesis de que la idea de “la frontera” no se limita al contexto chicano, sino que proporciona una categoría de análisis muy útil a la hora de aproximarse a ciertas escritoras latinas de distintos orígenes y grupos sociales. Por lo tanto, la frontera se concibe como espacio transnacional que posibilita una zona de contacto en la que diferentes voces latinas articulan una epistemología inseparable de lo político. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987), this article analyzes Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street (1984), How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accent (1991) and Yo (1997) by Julia Álvarez, Cristina García's Dreaming in Cuban (1992), Alicia Gaspar de Alba's Desert Blood: The Juarez Muerders (2005) and Sonia Rivera-Valdés' Las historias prohibidas de Marta Veneranda (1997). The borderlands goes beyond the Chicano context, offering a useful category of analysis when approaching different latina writers. Therefore, the borderlands is conceived as a transnational contact zone where a wide variety of latinas voices articulate an epistemological narrative that cannot be separated from the political.

Full text
Abstract:
The essay first shows that Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands aligns with many Jungian psychological concepts, including the shadow, the collective unconscious, the unus mundus, and active imagination. It then reads the text through the lens provided by James Hillman’s Re-Visioning Psychology, a book she considers “instrumental.” His personifying, pathologizing, psychologizing, and soul-making or dehumanizing—a reworking of the Jungian individuation process—provide relevant analogies for Anzaldúan thought, particularly her conocimiento process. Using Hillman as a lens helps to schematize her broad array of subjects. Despite depth psychology’s relevance to Borderlands, however, the essay argues that Anzaldúa’s Borderlands re-visions Re-Visioning Psychology by emphasizing expanded states of awareness, body wisdom, and the spirit world in order to provide a more inclusive vision of the psyche than Hillman puts forth. Thus, the essay demonstrates that Jung—as well as Jung-via-Hillman—contributes more to the hybridity of Anzaldúa’s work than has been previously recognized.

Abstract:
Borderlands/La Frontera deads with the psychology of resistance to oppression. The possibility of resistance is revealed by perceiving the self in the process of being oppressed as another face of the self in the process of resisting oppression. The new mestiza consciousness is bom from this interplay between oppression and resistance. Resistance is understood as social, collective activity, by adding to Anzaldúa's theory the distinction between the act and the process of resistance.

Abstract:
A proposta deste trabalho é apresentar uma leitura da obra Aristóteles e Dante descobrem os segredos do universo, de Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Com base nos pressupostos teóricos dos Estudos Culturais, analiso os conflitos identitários vivenciados pelas duas principais personagens da narrativa: Aristóteles Mendoza e Dante Quintana. Os fantasmas do irmão Bernardo e de tia Ophelia, que assombram a família dos Mendoza, colocam em evidência o patriarcalismo, o machismo e a heteronormatividade presentes na comunidade chicana, que levam Ari à homofobia internalizada. Dante, por sua vez, apesar de ter nascido em uma família de origem mexicana, sente-se como se fosse um mexicano “incompleto”, um outsider na sua própria família. Tomando como base o texto Borderlands/La Frontera, de Anzaldúa, analiso que tanto Ari quanto Dante enfrentam dificuldades relativas à internalização de fronteiras: no caso de Ari, das fronteiras do domínio da normalidade fundado pela heteronormatividade; e no caso de Dante, da herida abierta (ANZALDÚA, 1987) que é a fronteira México-Estados Unidos.

Abstract:
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7917.2015v20n2p181Neste artigo, analiso as maneiras com as quais Gloria Anzaldúa, em Borderlands: La Frontera (2007), negocia a ideia da fronteira como tendo dimensões discursivas e materiais. Ao criar a consciência da nova mestiza a partir da zona de fronteira, que é o espaço afetado pela linha fronteiriça, Anzaldúa desenvolve conceitos e ideias que podem ser relacionados às articulações de Donna Haraway, com sua teoria do ciborgue; e de Karen Barad, com sua teoria de uma ontologia de agenciamento realista, no sentido de que Anzaldúa se engaja criativamente com partes contraditórias de sua identidade, de forma ciborguiana; e enxerga a fronteira como ao mesmo tempo limitante e empoderadora, como produzindo efeitos discursivos e materiais como constitutivos um do outro. Anzaldúa discorre sobre esses efeitos e demonstra como os aplica na fabricação de uma nova consciência, a da nova mestiza. Neste trabalho, então, exploro estes conceitos a partir de uma leitura que identifica, no trabalho de Anzaldúa, pontos em comum com e complementares às teorias de Haraway e Barad.

Abstract:
This paper is based on an ongoing ethnographic research project conducted in the borderlands between Colombia and Venezuela, in particular the Colombian city of Cúcuta. There is a thriving smuggling trade between the two countries caused by Venezuela’s economic crisis and the extreme devaluation of goods. The area has become one of Colombia’s ‘hottest’ regions due to the proliferation of armed gangs that make money by smuggling of contraband, especially petrol. The article aims to describe how petrol vendors, transporters and smugglers conceptualise the state and how they negotiate and interact with state actors present in the borderlands. It engages in an anthropology of the state through the ethnographic lens of organised informal workers. Starting with a theoretical framework, it criticizes attempts to do anthropology in the margins of the state for its uncomfortably Hobbesian vision of the world, and settles instead on a ‘critical phenomenology of power’ (Krupa and Nugent 2015) as a methodology. It goes on to introduce two pimpinero trade unionists and the struggles of running petrol from the border as well as of political organising. The final section analyses this struggle as ‘insurgent citizenship’, a citizenry’s bottom up attempt to claim full access to their rights as citizens (Holston 2013), as well as ethnographically justifying the need for a conceptual borderland region. All informants’ names are anonymized apart from two trade union leaders who requested not to be anonymous.

The twentieth-century visual history of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, la frontera, offers a rich set of representations of the shared border environments. Photographs, distributed in the United States and in Mexico, allow us to trace emerging ideas about the border region and the politicized borderline. This essay explores two border visualization projects—one centered on the Mexican Revolution and the visual vocabulary of the Mexican nation and the other on the repeat photography of plant ecologists—that illustrate the simultaneous instability and power of borders.

Abstract:
U okviru savremene književnosti često nailazimo na djela koja nije moguće obuhvatiti jednom književnom formom ili žanrom. U takva djela spada i djelo latinoameričke spisateljice Glorije Ansaldue Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestizakoje se žanrovski može definisati kao roman-esej, jer istovremeno sadrži elemente romana i esejističkog izraza. Uz to, ovo djelo predstavlja i mješavinu poezije, autobiografskog pisanja, istoriografije i magičnog realizma. Međutim, u ovom istraživanju se primarno razmatra upotreba eseja kao oblika ili forme, s ciljem da se pokaže da je Ansaldua pažljivo birala esejistički izraz u nastojanju da što adekvatnije oslika stvarnost latinoameričke populacije, posebno žena, s obje strane američko-meksičke granice. Istraživanjem se zaključuje da, kada je u pitanju pomenuto djelo, esej predstavlja najprirodniji književni i formalni ekvivalent onoj stvarnosti o kojoj Ansaldua piše i da ga ona s namjerom koristi kada govori o svojim ličnim stavovima vezanim za pitanja kao što su istorija, kultura, tradicija, rodne uloge i identitet latinoameričkih etničkih grupa.

Abstract This article looks at Jean Toomer’s Cane (1923) through the theoretical framework of Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987) and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity (2003), arguing that Cane might best be understood as a text focused on borders. In doing so, the article puts forth the claim that the ideas of “contradiction” and “beside” offer important insights into understanding the formal innovations and thematic qualities of Cane. Specifically, by focusing on the text’s use of migration as a meaningful aesthetic category, the essay unsettles recent literary historical questions about Toomer’s personal identifications, instead looking at how contradiction and paradox generate a text whose flows, moves, and shifts insist on multiplicity and movement.

I draw on the formal/conceptual/linguistic hybridity of Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera as a metaphor for the radical character of the entire Chicana literary phenomenon.

Abstract:
This paper reconsiders the Chicana girlhood narratives of Mary Helen Ponce and Norma E. Cantú, Hoyt Street and Canícula respectively, as instances of the ambiguous gender identities that lie at the core of much post-Borderlands theory. Drawing on Jose Esteban Muñoz’s theory of disidentification, Jennifer Ayala’s concept of “mothering in the borderlands” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s latest insights on liminality and fluidity, I contend that the female characters of the novels under analysis enter into a contradictory dialogue with the patriarchal archetypes of the mother, the virgin and the whore. Thus, this paper departs from previous feminist approaches to these texts, which have disregarded the characters’ allegiance and non-allegiance to patriarchal discourses on Chicana femininity. My aim with this essay is to advance new readings of these girlhood narratives as well as to contribute to research into the fragmentary and largely evasive character of Chicana identities.

Gloria Anzaldúa is known as a poet, a postcolonial theoretician, the author of Borderlands / la Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987), and the editor or coeditor of important anthologies. She also wrote two books for children, Friends from the Other Side / Amigos del otro lado (1993) and Prietita and the Ghost Woman / Prietita y la Llorona (1995). Here Anzaldúa honed her sense of “conocimientos,” other ways of knowing. She imprinted her heroine, Prietita, as a “bridge”—a way of transforming the world. For Anzaldúa, writing books for children was an important step of activism because children would effect necessary cultural and social transformations.

Abstract:
The Rio Grande Valley, also known as the Magic Valley, is situated in the southeastern tip of Texas, circumscribed on the east by the Gulf of Mexico and on the south by the Rio Grande and the Mexican borderlands. Here, among the tall, green, swaying palm trees, the short, squatty mesquite trees, and the endless rows of verdant agricultural fields, Gloria Anzaldúa grew up in the 1940s and 1950s. The Magic Valley has produced a series of distinguished scholars, poets, and novelists, including Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, the Saldivar clan (Sonia Saldivar-Hull, Ramon Saldivar, and José Saldivar), Américo Paredes, and of course Anzaldúa. Although I do not claim the same stature as the above luminaries, I too grew up in the Rio Grande Valley in the 1940s and 1950s, in a tiny town called Rio Hondo, population 701, which is but a few miles from Hargill, Texas, where Anzaldúa was born (1942) and raised. It is from this personal perspective, of one who grew up in the rich farmlands of the Magic Valley and experienced the economic and sociohistorical context of the era, that I propose to discuss Anzaldúa's Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987). Specifically, I focus on the sense of place, race, language, and sexuality that characterized the area and Anzaldúa's brilliant insights in the narrative she wove and reconfigured in the pages of Borderlands.

It sheds light on their lives and motives for their actions, through social criticism of Gloria Anzaldúa and the main points she establishes in her semi-autobiographical collection of essays Borderlands: La Frontera (1999). The topics Anzaldúa addresses give an insight into the Chicano identity, and the struggle of Chicano women in particular. Through her vantage point, I discuss gender roles, the immigrants' search for identity and their quest for a more dignified life, by trying to reconcile the antagonizing forces of the different parts of their identity.

En segundo lugar, debido a que este escrito interroga el modo en que Borderlands ha cambiado radicalmente la manera en que abordamos ciertas áreas en el trabajo escolar, examino algunas áreas específicas en las que esto es evidente, e incluyo un ejemplo de cómo la creación o recuperación de ciertos términos por parte de Anzaldúa como mestizaje y facultad puso la base para un trabajo posterior, ella delineó un sendero para un activismo espiritual. Esto conduce a mi punto final: que el libro modifica el marco epistemológico y ontológico, funcionando como un cambio de paradigma tal como lo describe Thomas Kuhn en La Estructura de las Revoluciones Científicas (1962), un cambio de paradigma que necesitamos porque estamos en un tiempo de transición, política y social, en nuestro mundo globalizado.

Abstract:
En este artículo, se propone una relectura de la obra canónica Borderlands/La Frontera de la pensadora chicana Gloria Anzaldúa, desde la perspectiva de su poetología y de los espacios que el texto produce a través de su hibridez genérica y de la relevancia de la corporalidad del sujeto. Asimismo, en el texto se crea no solo una experiencia multidimensional sino más bien un espacio de comunicación entre el texto y sus audiencias, y un diálogo intersubjetivo entre ‘las nuevas Mestizas’ y lectores y lectoras que no participen en esta experiencia. Para sostener esta línea de argumentos recurrimos a un close reading del texto como obra de arte combinado con una versión descolonizada del modelo fenomenológico del espacio desarrollado por Henri Lefebvre en La production de l’espace (1974).

Abstract:
India's Northeast frontier is at the margins of three study areas: South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. This paper attempts a history of “mapping” in its broader sense as a cultural universal over a relatively long period. It is not a history of cartography, but focuses on the interface between cartography and cosmography, which were, in turn, shaped by imperial power and geographical knowledge. This approach offers a high-altitude view of this Asian borderland as the imperial frontier of both the Mughals and the British, and the national fringe of Republican India. The authors argue that imperial geographical discourses invested the colonial Northeast (British Assam) with a new kind of territorial identity. Surveyors and mapmakers objectified the “geo-body” of this borderland in a spatial fix and visualized it as a Northeast-on-the-map. Cartographic territoriality naturalized traditional frontiers into colonial borderlands, which, in turn, forged national boundaries.

Abstract:
In this article, the author explores the concept of terquedad or waywardness as a blueprint towards gender/queer justice in education. Using María Lugones’s (2003) theorizing resistance against multiple oppressions, the author presents Gloria Anzaldúa’s' writings in Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) and This Bridge Called My Back (1981/2015) as a project of storying the plurality of terquedad. In doing so, the author calls for a theory and praxis of terquedad as a framework to understand the embodied resistances queer and trans-Latinx/e students deploy as textual inconveniences to push back and resist the “institutional grammars” of U.S. universities (Crawford & Ostrom, 1995; Bonilla-Silva, 2012). Through a plática methodology (Fierros & Delgado Bernal, 2016), the author introduces Quiahuitl, a doctoral student engaging with a praxis of terquedad when confronted with institutional and sexual violence as she moves within and against the geographies and power structures of the university.

Abstract:
When Gloria Anzaldúa died in 2004, she gave birth to an enormous archive; indeed, she let far more unpublished writings than works published in her lifetime. What's more, Anzaldúa was a compulsive reviser, and her archive includes ten to twenty unique drats of some works, along with doodles, ticket stubs, and other ephemera. his collection of material decenters what we previously thought constituted her literary corpus, knocking the presumed author of Borderlands / La Frontera of her axis. he process of siting through these materials changed my thinking about authority, textuality, identity, and many other things. My obsession with this archive has led me to reexamine the ways in which we produce, reproduce, and coproduce knowledge in archival work. In this essay, I show how recognizing the multiple material actants at work in this archive transforms conventional thought about archives, in general, and Anzaldúan studies, in particular.

Abstract:
What lessons can sociologists draw from Chicana cultural theorist and spiritual activist Gloria E. Anzaldúa to advance the sociological imagination and intellectual agenda that make a public difference? In this paper I argue the key to Anzaldúa's public impact has to be sought in her thesis of the simultaneity of self and global transformations, and the intricate strategies she used to advance the thesis through her writings such as Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987). Closely reading the text, I note how the transformation of self/world for Anzaldúa's essentially involves the task of bridging/transcending/healing a vast array of habitual dualisms deeply ingrained in our personal and global landscapes. Progressively unpacking Anzaldúa's sociological imagination to highlight its potential contributions to enriching the Millsian and symbolic interactionist traditions in sociology, I provide a plausible answer to the question of what is so publicly transformative and energizing in Anzaldúa's often privately focused, reflexive writings. I argue that it is the dialectic of public and private sociology informing her sociological imagination that renders her intellectual work so effective. Amid current debates on ways to advance public sociology, Anzaldúa's way of going private to advance public sociology is paradoxically effective and refreshing.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to discuss the concept of transculturation on the basis of Chicana literature created in the American Southwest. First, the historical, social and cultural context of the Chicana culture formation in the Mexican-American border space is explained. Secondly, transculturation is presented as a European and a genuine Latin American concept of local cultural hybridity, with the emphasis put on the contributions by Wolfgang Welsch and Fernando Ortiz. Thirdly, a general characteristic of Chicana literature is provided, with a special attention paid to linguistic and cultural identity issues. In the analysis of the discursive strategies used by Chicana women writers, two fundamental hybrid Chicana texts are taken into consideration: Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/ La Frontera and Margarita Cota-Cárdenas’s Puppet. The analysis reveals that code-switching and interlinguistic translations are the basic forms of character construction and explain the complex situation of the Mexican minority in the USA. Finally, both texts seem to require a hybrid bilingual reader due to their heterogeneous bilingual form and subjects treated.

Abstract:
Although the study of frontiers is of fundamental importance to a variety of academic fields and subdisciplines, few researchers have proposed terminology, models or conceptual frameworks that allow a cross-disciplinary supra-regional comparison of frontier dynamics. In this paper I take three steps toward rectifying this situation. First, I propose a simplified lexicon that is widely applicable across disciplinary, temporal and regional divides. This lexicon is meant to be a starting point in defining boundary situations. Second, lay out a model, called the “continuum of boundary dynamics.” This model is meant to aid researchers in characterizing various types of boundary situations. And third, propose a model, called the “borderland matrix” with which to visualize the dynamic interaction between different categories of boundaries. This model is meant to aid researchers in isolating processes that occur in borderlands. It is my position that only through systematic comparisons of boundary situations at various times and locations can we hope to understand the processes that take place in borderlands. By defining and characterizing boundary situations and then isolating the processes taking place there, I believe that we will come much closer to understanding the common and unique themes that make frontier studies a central interregional and interdisciplinary subject of study.

Abstract:
Esta revalorización del arte de la Coatlicue reelabora mitos y desmitificaciones mantenidos al interior de una cultura mexicana colonizada que no ha sabido aprender del pasado ni ha podido apreciar lo que la gran piedra muestra desde sus orígenes. El México oficial sigue cavando su propia tumba, re-negando y eliminando a los millones de pobladores autóctonos que las constantes migraciones han llevado al ahora monstruoso territorio mexicano que comercializa y vende todo incluido el arte del pasado. Pero, los tiempos y miradas siguen cambiando; ahora existen pensadoras y escritoras que llegan al centro de las discusiones y acciones en el mundo de las artes y ciencias que comparten otras visiones. Estas palabras y piedra siguen tiñendo de rojo (sabiduría) y negro (escritura), los silencios sonoros en la historia; porque el mundo también es de las mujeres y no sólo de los monstruos misóginos. La fuerza escultural de Coatlicue y la literatura de Elena Garro junto a los planteamientos epistemológicos de Gloria Anzaldúa muestran que si algo tienen de monstruosas sus obras/personas es que se han alimentado de los monstruos que andan desatados. Las solidarias y diferentes sociedades que potencializan con sus textos siguen siendo desafíos que esperan mejores respuestas.

Abstract:
Regiões de fronteira têm uma realidade particular marcada pela violência e pelos altos índices de criminalidade, com a presença maciça de polícias e entidades militares que buscam a repressão como controle social. Diante do avanço das organizações transnacionais, não é mais possível pensar na aplicação de teorias que desconsiderem a especificidade latino-americana. No que diz respeito à sua tradição criminológica, menciona-se que as políticas internas nacionais são elaboradas sobre a base do conhecimento produzido nos países centrais. A imitação de políticas centrais, frequentemente fora de contexto e utilizando metodologias dissonantes, tornam-nas fadadas ao insucesso. Assim, pontua-se que tal tema deve ser analisado sob a perspectiva da dependência histórica, edificada a partir do método dialético, considerando o processo de dominação cultural e a necessidade de insurgência da luta de classes contra o colonialismo. Nesse sentido, Maximo Sozzo trabalha a tradução dos modelos centrais, a importação cultural e a história do presente, buscando recobrar a ruptura criminológica das importações criminológicas com a descolonialização ideológica da criminologia. Sobre “fronteiras”, o conceito tradicional abrange dois significados semânticos: fronteira-frontier, como front de batalha, utilizando a militarização como componente de repressão, e fronteira-borderland, como lugar de encontro e negociação. Portanto, percebe-se que métodos europeus de repressão em fronteiras não se adéquam à realidade latino-americana por aplicar, em sua origem, o duplo significado de fronteiras. Já nas fronteiras latino-americanas, considera-se apenas o contexto “frontier” — fronteiras como espaço facilitador da criminalidade transnacional; por isso, a inadequação do controle criminológico transfronteiriço atual e a necessidade do desenvolvimento de um método dialético próprio.

Abstract:
Abstract:More than five decades after independence, Africa still struggles with the legacies of colonial partition. On the territorial frontiers between the postcolonial inheritors of the two major colonial powers, Great Britain and France, the continuing impact of European colonialism remains most acute. On the one hand, the splitting of erstwhile homogeneous ethnic groups into British and French camps gave rise to new national identities; on the other hand, it circumvented any possibility of sovereignty via ethnic solidarity. To date, however, there has been no comprehensive assessment of the ethnic groups that were divided between English- and French-speaking states in West Africa, let alone the African continent writ large. This article joins postcolonial ethnography to the emerging field of comparative borderland studies. It argues that, although norms of state-based identity have been internalized in the Anglophone–Francophone borderlands, indigenous bases of association and behavior continue to define life along the West African frontier in ways that undermine state sovereignty. Although social scientists tend to focus on national- and sub-national-level analyses, and increasingly on the effects of globalization on institutional change, study of the African borderlands highlights the continuing importance of colonial legacies and grassroots-derived research.

Abstract:
Although Gloria Anzaldúa's critical categories have steadily entered discussions in the field of philosophy, a lingering skepticism remains about her works’ ability to transcend the particularity of her lived experience. In an effort to respond to this attitude, I make Anzaldúa's corpus the center of philosophical analysis and posit that immanent to this work is a logic that lends it the unity of a critical philosophy that accounts for its concrete, multilayered character and shifting, creative force. I call this an “affective logic of volverse una.” Starting with the understanding of a situated modality of all subjectivity, Anzaldúa's work exhibits a logic of three moments distinguished by states of awareness. Each state of awareness is characterized by the generative degree of the subject's responses to its conditions: critical, individuating, and expansive. Led by her late concepts of conocimiento and nepantlera, I return to her earlier works and trace Anzaldúa's innovative exploration of undoing the oppressive condition of marginal subjectivities from “La Prieta” through Borderlands/La Frontera to her final published essay “now let us shift.” I find a liberatory schema of volverse una/becoming whole that is grounded in an active receptivity of sensibility and facilitated by affective technologies for transformation.

Abstract:
It was an unexpectedly chilly day in May 2004 when the news flashed across various electronic mailing lists that Gloria Anzaldúa had died from complications related to diabetes. I was in the midst of teaching a course on contemporary issues in feminism to a formidable group of undergraduate women and men, in which we were reading “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” and “La Conciencia de la Mestiza: Towards a New Consciousness.” These are my favorite essays from Anzaldúa's Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, a text published in 1987 and still crucial to any understanding of identity and politics in feminism today. The announcement, made by Anzaldúa's coeditor and compañera, Cherrie Moraga, requested that we construct homemade shrines to honor Anzaldúa's presence and aid her passing. My classroom was in Dartmouth Hall, a venerable eighteenth-century building only a stone's throw from Baker Library, whose tower sports a weathervane with the image of Dartmouth's founder, Reverend Eleazar Wheelock, teaching a crosslegged, befeathered, and pipe-smoking Indian, Samson Occom, his most famous student, beneath the symbolic lone pine. Into the graywalled room, I brought objects that seemed out of place there and incendiary: candles, flowers, incense, and books—an armful of wellthumbed volumes containing the nearly talismanic words, her own and those of others, that Anzaldúa struggled to bring into print.

Abstract:
The 1989/1991 demise of European communist regimes created a powerful impulse for the investigation of memory cultures at Cold War borders and, subsequently, for reflections on the creation of new European border regimes. The four studies included in this special section investigate these two processes on a micro level of their dynamics in new and old borderlands from the perspectives of history, anthropology and political science. At the same time, they explore the relations between the everyday life experience of borderland communities and larger historical and political processes, sometimes going back to the re-drawing of European borders in the aftermath of the First World War.It is the hybrid nature of borders as at the same time separating and connecting (Anzaldúa 1987; Gupta and Fergusson 1997), as the place where “a transition between two worlds is most pronounced” (Van Gennep 1960 paraphrased in Berdahl 1999, 12) that makes them such an attractive and interdisciplinary site of research. It is of interest to geographers, historians, anthropologists, sociologists and other social scientists (e.g. Donnan and Wilson 1994; Anderson 1997; Ganster et al. 1997; Breysach, Paszek, and Tölle 2003; Wastl-Walter 2010). Daphne Berdahl sees boundaries as “symbols through which states, nations, and localities define themselves. They define at once territorial limits and sociocultural space” (Berdahl 1999, 3). Border research distinguishes between “border,” “bordering,” and “borderland” or “frontier” (the term first defined by Turner 1921). While borders connote a dividing line, borderlands connote an area, and bordering refers to the process of border- and borderland-creation. Borders are established through a three-stage process of allocation, delimitation and demarcation: a territory is first placed (allocated) under the jurisdiction of a government, then an imaginary line is drawn (delimited) on a map, and finally the boundary is marked with physical markers (demarcated) in the terrain (Sahlins 1989, 2). Borderlands or frontier zones are “privileged sites for the articulation of national distinctions” (Sahlins 1989, 271), and as such are places where difference is produced and institutionalized through territorial sovereignty, but also constantly renegotiated by multiple actors.

Abstract:
Abstract Large zones of de facto political autonomy persist even as various state systems have endeavored to fix, rationalize, and secure external and internal borders. These spaces are products of long histories of uneven extension and exercise of state sovereignty in the subcontinent and much of Asia and Africa. Histories and legacies of borderland autonomy have important implications for contemporary sovereign practice in much of the world. This article examines the making, unmaking, and endurance of borderlands around Hyderabad in the eastern Deccan. It describes the region as an “old borderland,” from premodern frontier zone, to sovereign and autonomous state during the era of British imperial dominance, through its mid-twentieth-century reemergence as a site of state avoidance or resistance. Identifying the productive relationship among frictional environments, political sovereignty, and social and cultural dynamics, this article develops frameworks for historicizing borderland autonomy in South Asia and beyond.
