ALVES DE SOUSA, Flávia  e  ALBUQUERQUE, José Lindomar C.. Nation and integration in schools at the borders: the mobility of teachers and the learning of national languages between Brazil and Argentina. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.627-648.

Schools at the borders are a privileged field for the study of cross-border mobilities and the production of the nation in the school space. The article’s purpose is to reflect on the circulation and educational practice of Argentine and Brazilian teachers between two schools located at the frontier cities of Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) that are included in the Intercultural Schools at the Borders Program (PEIF, in its Portuguese acronym). We analyze the process of production of political, cultural and symbolic boundaries as perceived by directors, coordinators, teachers and students, in an effort to understand the ways and the paradoxes arising out of the educational integration mechanisms in international borderland areas in the context of Mercosur (Common Market of the Southern Cone).
