AMANTE, Maria de Fátima. On borders as spaces for identity construction and contestation to security issues. Etnográfica [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.415-424. ISSN 0873-6561.

In recent decades, international borders have become the object of attention for a growing number of social sciences researchers. From it, a variety of research interests has emerged, including a significant number of scholars. Today, it is also possible to identity some lines of specialized research, whether in mobility issues, border identities or security. The main goal of this paper is, based on my fieldwork on Portuguese-Spanish borderlands, to present and discuss some current research trends within the domain of the anthropology of borders.

Palavras-chave : borders; identity; raia; security.
