These goods move from one country to the other through ant-style piecemeal trafficking on misdirected paths: they enter constantly as contraband in small quantities, using tolerated border crossings. The objective is to show how the interactions between the border actors involved construct a local order that is different from that of the State's normative parameters. An order is founded on a series of unwritten rules that govern the practices of crossing, thereby creating an "interpretive community." This paper clarifies why the operating personnel from different levels of the Mexican government charged with overseeing trade are not outside of this community but rather compose an important part of it and how the State is empirically constructed within it, starting from the idea that the State is not an all-encompassing and coherent entity. Ofrecemos una descripción etnográfica de la circulación de hortalizas en la frontera de México con Guatemala. Estas mercancías transitan de un país a otro por caminos de extravío mediante tráfico hormiga: ingresan por medio del contrabando de pequeñas cantidades de manera constante, utilizando pasos fronterizos tolerados. El objetivo es mostrar cómo las interacciones de los actores fronterizos involucrados construyen un orden local distinto al de los parámetros normativos del Estado. Un orden que se fundamenta en una serie de normas no escritas que guían las prácticas de cruce, creando así una "comunidad interpretativa". Se esclarecerá por qué el personal operativo de diversos niveles del gobierno mexicano encargado de la supervisión mercantil no está al margen de dicha comunidad, sino forman parte importante de ella; y cómo se configura empíricamente el Estado dentro de la misma, partiendo de la idea de que el Estado no es un ente totalizador y coherente. 2017-01-17 2021-06-03T03:38:05Z 2021-06-03T03:38:05Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582 10.21670/ref.2017.35.a01 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6871 spa eng https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1061 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1062 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1077 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1078 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1092 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1093 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1109 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1122 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/582/1332 Derechos de autor 2017 Estudios Fronterizos application/pdf application/pdf text/html text/html application/epub+zip application/epub+zip application/xml application/xml application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation cobertura Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 18 No. 35 (2017); 1-21 Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 18 Núm. 35 (2017); 1-21 2395-9134 0187-6961
