La frontera como representación social: migraciones y sistema judicial de Mendoza

Abstract

This article addresses the subject of borders (material and symbolic) in its dimension linked to international migrations. The assumed theoretical perspective is based on the concept of social representations, interested in those built by the host or receiving society, in this case, focusing on members of the judicial system in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. With this objective, we present and analyze some of the results of a qualitative research in which we conducted interviews with members of the judiciary in Mendoza.
