Thirty-nine youths residing in Algeciras, La Línea, Tangiers and Tetouan were interviewed about cultural positioning and identity; border space (opportunities and tensions) and emigration. The interviews were conducted between October 2019 and February 2020 in Spanish and Arabic according to the interviewee’s mother tongue and analyzed using Nvivo 12. Cultural diversity is recognized and generally perceived as something positive on both sides of the border, although there are certain issues that can strain relations between the two groups, these include religion, freedom versus discipline and control over being young and the role assigned to women in each culture Esta investigación analiza las percepciones de jóvenes que habitan el espacio fronterizo del Estrecho de Gibraltar; una frontera marítima y terrestre que no solo separa dos países (España y Marruecos) sino también dos continentes (Europa y África). Se entrevistó a 39 jóvenes residentes en Algeciras, La Línea, Tánger y Tetuán, sobre posicionamiento cultural e identidad, espacio fronterizo (oportunidades y tensiones) y emigración. Las entrevistas fueron realizadas entre octubre de 2019 y febrero de 2020 en español y en árabe según la lengua materna del entrevistado y analizadas mediante NVivo 12. La diversidad cultural es reconocida y se percibe en general como algo positivo en ambos lados de la frontera, si bien existen ciertos temas que pueden tensionar las relaciones entre ambos colectivos como la religión, la libertad versus la disciplina y el control sobre el ser joven y el rol que se le asigna a la mujer en cada cultura Universidad Autónoma de Baja California 2024-03-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip text/xml text/html https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199 10.21670/ref.2404140 Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 25 (2024) Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 25 (2024) 2395-9134 0187-6961 spa https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199/2593 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199/2594 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199/2595 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199/2596 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/1199/2597 Border space of the Strait of Gibraltar October 2019 and February 2020 Espacio fronterizo del Estrecho de Gibraltar octubre de 2019 y febrero de 2020 Derechos de autor 2024 Estudios Fronterizos https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
