Borders and identities in motion: migratory flows and power struggle on the Paraguay-Brazil border

Abstract

The research talks about the Brazilian immigration in the Paraguayan border. The border areas of high migration between two national states produce singular reflection on the limits of the nation and the sovereign State. I analyze the social conflicts, ethnic, national and civilization that is set between the "business of soybeans", which are mostly Brazilian, and" Paraguayan peasants "in this border territory. This process can be understood from the concept of frontiers in movement, notion which seeks to problematize and synthesize the ideas of the front of expansion, social and symbolic borders and situational identities.
