VERA SANCHEZ, Mauricio. Border Mexico and the United States: a perspective from the imaginary, media and art. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.1, pp.133-154.  Epub 06-Nov-2021. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.29.1.307.

Undoubtedly the border between the United States and Mexico is a territorial space of the greatest relevance in geopolitics in America. This article takes a look at this frontier from the perspective of imaginaries, the media and art, which complements the one focused on geopolitics, which is the way it has traditionally been studied. It investigates the perception of border citizens, particularly those who live in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, with the aim of locating the imaginaries they have on this territory of separation and encounter simultaneously, and spatially on three objects that define this border: the wall, the Rio Grande and the desert. Likewise, various artistic and media productions are analyzed to broaden the perspective of configuration of border imaginary.

Palabras clave : Mexico-United States border; media; art; imaginary.
