| Sumario: | The objective is to problematize analogies and metaphors used to refer to artifacts, phenomena, practices and subjects linked to Latin American interstate borders, on different timescales. It seeks to describe and analyze the different expressive and argumentative uses of these resources valued for their usefulness to focus attention on certain attributes or features of the object of knowledge that is being constructed, granting familiarity and proximity. However, these are subterfuges that often contribute to crystallize stereotyped, stigmatizing images and reduce the critical potential of investigations. Through its use, a potential risk of analytical simplification and transfer of meanings associated with ideological biases is generated. To develop the work, a corpus made up of press articles, reports and academic papers, referring to Latin American interstate borders, is systematized, where the focus is on the use given to three words: mules, coyotes, ants. |
