Abstract

ALBUQUERQUE, José Lindomar. Ibero-American boundaries in the work of Sergio Buarque de Holanda. Anál. Social [online]. 2010, n.195, pp.329-351. ISSN 0003-2573.

This article discuss four senses of the frontier/border, extending the work of Sergio Buarque de Holanda: the “hybrid zone” conception or “territory-bridge” in the understanding of Iberian singularity; frontier/border as division marker between Portuguese and Hispanic colonization; the fronts of expansion or frontiers in movement in the process of colonization; and last, the boundary as a transition, going from the Iberian singularity to a modern and urban world.

Keywords : boundary; fronts of expansion; colonization; modernization.
