Abstract

One of the main marks of the current phase of neoliberalism is the emergence of the spatial and territorial boundaries which frame the reorganisation of the colonial and dependence relationships of the World-System. The North-South chasm has consolidated a southern frontier which divides the transcontinental transitional spaces and rearranges the relationships with/between postcolonial states. This conference aims to approach borders in the Global South from different perspectives, in order to link, on the basis of a contextualised and situated knowledge, the frontier epistemologies  which, from the South, respond to processes of marginalisation and ‘peripherysation’ by building bridges of communication across frontiers and resistances to new forms of neo-colonialism. The cartography of the southern frontier runs along the transculturalities and interculturalities which must be made visible as a counterweight of the hegemonic representations that build walls and monitoring systems with which to control people and their subaltern cultures.
