| Sumari: | This article aims to develop the notion of water and borderscape in Puerto Quijarro and Guayaramerín, Bolivian cities located at the international border with Brazil. The study is supported by a fieldwork conducted in 2018, with the review of historical, geographical, population and field income background mainly in the Bolivian international border. Semi-structured interviews were applied to officials associated with border control and transportation, in addition to registering observations, photographs and informal conversations. Three interpretative approaches are proposed as a research result: the first is distant and historical for both cases; the second is proposed on an urban scale for Puerto Quijarro, analyzing its morphology and a mural; and the third approach is proposed with an intersubjective perspective for Guayaramerín. In conclusion, border and waterscapes allow to identify metaphors such as: isolation, wall, wall and island, which problematize the relationship between society and nature in this water border. |
