Entrevista a Alejandro Grimson: Desafíos intelectuales para la imaginación política
Interview with - Alexander Grimson
- Alina Peña Iguarán
La entrevista "Desafíos intelectuales para la imaginación política" presenta el diálogo con Alejandro Grimson, destacado antropólogo argentino conocido por sus análisis sobre identidades y fronteras en América Latina. Alina Peña Iguarán destaca sus aportes sobre configuraciones culturales y el concepto de frontera como espacio dinámico de interacción y conflicto. La conversación aborda tres momentos: los debates latinoamericanos de los años 90, la génesis de su libro "Los límites de la cultura", y el análisis del ascenso de las extremas derechas. Grimson reflexiona sobre nacionalismos, crisis de representación, y la urgencia de construir alternativas frente al "desquicio" político actual que debilita la democracia.

Travelling the spanish-moroccan border: a historical and visual tour. Field experiences in a border landscape
- María Isolda Perelló Carrascosa
Keywords: borders, irregular migration, militarization, porters, securitization.
This photographic essay intends to show some of the results of the ground research carried out within the context of a doctoral dissertation, during the months of July through September of 2014 in Ceuta, as well as Melilla and locations near the Spanish-Moroccan border. As the text shows, the maritime enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla have once had a crucial geostrategic position in the Mediterranean. Currently, its purpose as an external European border in the African continent has been reinforced with the securitization of the border region to contain the threats related to criminal activities and “undesired” trans-Mediterranean migration, although it has also ended up affecting “atypical” trade or trafficking with Morocco.
