Resumen
CAMPOS DELGADO, Amalia E. La construcción del otro "del otro lado": Imaginarios de frontera de jóvenes de Tijuana, México, y Tecún Umán, Guatemala. Región y sociedad [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.55, pp.131-158. ISSN 2448-4849.
The identity references of the inhabitants of border regions are not only constructed based on the relationships with those on the other side of the line, but also on the materialized distinction of the border itself. From a survey for the analysis of urban imaginaries and the construction of mental maps, this article analyzes how young men and women in the cities of Tijuana and Tecún Umán externalize the construction of the "other" who lives across the line. For these young people, the border has a differentiating function and the guidelines for crossing it are enforced by the "north", but it is their everyday practices that endow it with meaning.
