Resumo: This article revisits the classic debate within the social sciences and humanities on borders, taking these concepts and including others in order to situate analysis of borders from the perspective of women's political struggles in the Amazon, seeing the Amazon as an internal border par excellence. We note that border dynamics comprise a process with socio-spatial as well as ideological and symbolic repercussions, combining territorial enclosures with impositions of ways of thinking (“border mentalities”). In this way, the border is understood as an epistemological device which allows us to observe a human condition of liminality and extrapolate spatial specificity, imposing hierarchies and subordination of bordering female bodies which are subdued and violated through typically masculinized reasoning and actions in border areas. Violence at borders contains a political aspect which has a different dimension for the women who live there. Border areas are consequently characterized as places of political violence against “border-women” and, in turn, as places where political forms that approach the politics of the common or communality are dismissed and made powerless.

Señalamos que la dinámica de la frontera es un proceso que tiene repercusiones tanto socioespaciales como ideológicas y simbólicas, combinando cercamientos territoriales con imposiciones de formas de pensar, es decir, con “mentalidades de frontera”. Así, entendemos que la frontera es un dispositivo epistemológico que permite observar una condición humana de liminalidad, que va más allá de la especificidad espacial, imponiendo jerarquías y subordinaciones de cuerpos femeninos fronterizos, que son sometidos y violentados por razones y acciones típicamente masculinizadas en la frontera. La violencia fronteriza tiene, por tanto, un carácter político, que tiene un peso diferencial para las mujeres que la habitan. Así, la frontera se caracteriza aquí como el lugar de la violencia política contra las “mujeres fronterizas” y, a su vez, como un lugar de destitución de las formas políticas que abordan la política del común/comunidad.Neste artigo, pretendemos revisitar o debate clássico acerca da fronteira dentro das Ciências Sociais e Humanas para, a partir dessas premissas, incluir algumas outras, de modo a situar a análise da fronteira desde a perspectiva de lutas políticas de mulheres na Amazônia – compreendendo a Amazônia como a fronteira interna por excelência. Apontamos que a dinâmica da fronteira é tanto um processo que se repercute socioespacialmente quanto também ideológica e simbolicamente, coadunando cercamentos territoriais com imposições de modos de pensar, ou seja, com “mentalidades de fronteira”. Assim, entendemos que a fronteira é um dispositivo epistemológico que nos permite observar uma condição humana de liminaridade, que extrapola a especificidade espacial, impondo hierarquias e subalternizações de corpos femininos fronteiriços, que são submetidos e violentados por razões e ações tipicamente masculinizadas na fronteira. A violência na fronteira carrega, portanto, um caráter político, que tem um peso diferencial para as mulheres que a habitam. Assim, a fronteira aqui é caracterizada como o lugar da violência política contra “mulheres-fronteira” e, por sua vez, como lugar de destituição de formas políticas que se aproximam das políticas do comum/da comunalidade.Programa de Pós-graduação em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (CPDA/UFRRJ)2023-03-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_0410.36920/esa31-1_04Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 31 No. 1: January to June 2023 (continuous publication - closed edition); e2331104Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 31 Núm. 1: enero a junio de 2023 (publicación continua - edición cerrada); e2331104Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; v. 31 n. 1: janeiro a junho de 2023 (publicação contínua - edição fechada); e23311042526-775210.36920/esa-v31n1reponame:Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (Online)instname:Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)instacron:UFRRJporhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_04/e2331104pdfhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_04/e2331104htmlCopyright (c) 2023 Laura dos Santos Rougemonthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRougemont, Laura dos Santos2023-07-19T17:59:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1958Revistahttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esaPUBhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/oaiestudoscpda@gmail.com||2526-77521413-0580opendoar:2023-07-19T17:59:24Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (Online) - Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)false
