Los trapos sucios del nacionalismo

Abstract

In recent years, important studies have been generated regarding the ways of contact and the definition of the "Other". Said topic has been frequently spelled with capital letters to highlight the fact that the other is not only defined as a particular individual, but that it also works as an entity that represents a collectiveness different from the own. The multiple and diverse studies on the conformation of identities and cultural frontiers have served varied purposes that range from exploring the relation between culture, used as a system of signs, and historical change; to studying the importance of alienation and the role of fetishism in the capitalist expansion; to the analysis of Western semiotics in relation to others. My proposal is to set the ground work for the creation of a geography that represents the contact zones in the national space.
