Resumo: | The aim of this article is to analyze how the experience of refugee children, on the border between Mexico and the United States, is portrayed in the novel Lost children archive, by the Mexican author Valeria Luiselli. Every year, an estimated 100,000 children from Mexico and Central America face, often unaccompanied, a dangerous journey in search of safety and hope of survival in the United States. When refugees manage to reach the border, they still run the risk of being detained or deported back to their countries. Several children who travel under these circumstances to the United States – or from one country to another, anywhere in the world – are waiting a long time in detention centers or refugee camps, not knowing the fate that awaits them. It is from the stories of these children who flee, and sometimes get lost across borders, that Valeria Luiselli builds the novel Lost children archive, and places the reader in front of some aspects of the complex experience of refuge in the contemporary world. Therefore, the article presents data on refugee children, the author's relationship with the migration issue and how the polyphony of the work presents the characteristics of the control mechanisms of bodies at the border. |

Todos os anos, cerca de 100 mil crianças vindas do México e América Central enfrentam, muitas vezes desacompanhadas, uma perigosa viagem em busca de segurança e esperança de sobreviver nos Estados Unidos. Quando os refugiados conseguem alcançar a fronteira, ainda correm o risco de serem detidos ou deportados de volta a seus países. Várias crianças que viajam nessas circunstâncias para os Estados Unidos – ou de um país para outro, em qualquer lugar do mundo –, ficam aguardando muito tempo em centros de detenção ou campos de refugiados, sem saber o destino que as aguarda. É a partir das histórias dessas crianças que fogem, e às vezes se perdem cruzando as fronteiras, que Valeria Luiselli constrói o romance Arquivo das crianças perdidas, e situa o leitor diante de alguns aspectos da complexa experiência do refúgio no mundo contemporâneo. Para tanto, o artigo especifica as vulnerabilidades das crianças refugiadas, a relação da autora com a questão migratória e como a polifonia da obra apresenta as características dos mecanismos de controle de corpos na fronteira.
