Abstract

The aim of this essay is to reflect on the relationships between water and frontiers from a perspective conceiving territories as juxtaposed realities that are constantly changing within specific time and space frameworks. This view is grounded on both the polysemy of the concept of frontier and the extensive fieldwork carried out throughout more than two decades in Southern Mexico and Central America’s borderlands. A set of pictures illustrating these relationships reveals multiple crossroads emerging from empirical observation along with a theoretical analysis based on two sources.
