Abstract

En los últimos años, los procesos transnacionales han venido a cuestionar las bases de la antropología tradicional y han lineado los cimientos de la llamada antropología transnacional o transnacionalista. Sin lugar a dudas, los estudios realizados desde las distintas perspectivas de las ciencias sociales han demostrado cómo la frontera México Estados Unidos constituye un campo social de carácter global, que cuestiona la supuesta naturaleza infranqueable de las líneas fronterizas. A través del análisis puntual de las tendencias migratorias, estos estudios han refutado contundentemente la idea de frontera como referente simplemente geográfico-político y han propuesto su visualización como escenario deterritorializado. En este sentido, el presente trabajo revisa algunos planteamientos centrales de los estudios sobre fronteras, migración y procesos transnacionales que han cobrado inf luencia particular en la antropología y señala algunos vacíos que el discurso de la nueva antropología aún posee.ABSTRACTIn the last years, transnational processes have come to question the traditional basis of anthropology, and have come to settle the foundations of the so-called transnational anthropology. With no doubt, studies made from the different perspectives of social sciences have demonstrated how the U.S.-Mexico border constitutes a global social field that challenges the supposed unbreakable nature of the borderlines. Furthermore, through accurate analyses of the more intense, multidirectional and heterogeneous current migrations, these studies refute the notion of border as a simplistic geographic and political referent. From this view, the border is a deterritorialized scenario, where cultures and identities are creatively re-invented, as complex and multidimensional forms of self-reference. The influence of these studies on anthropology has resulted into a profound revision of those anthropological concepts, like social networks, community, culture and identity. This paper discusses some of the central arguments of the studies on borderlands
