Together, On the Frontier: Constructing Territories Through Cross-Border Spaces

Abstract

The border should not solely be interpreted in terms of separation and protection, but also as a space where opposed realities, through the creative potential of con ict, can move forward towards com- mon goals. Taking the frontier myth as a starting point, this article illustrates situations and experiences in which this concept remains useful in the present day for understanding, interpreting and even constructing territories.
