Duarte Herrera Demografía The US-Mexico border has been defined as a periphery, as a transborder social system,and more currently, as a station in transnational circuits. The two first definitionspresuppose the strongly criticized concepts of region and cultural area. The thirddefinition shares, along with the other two definitions, the positivist epistemologicalsupposition that the border is a specific entity that can be known and experiencedas such by any observer, no matter their social site. This paper is to support thedefinition of the border as a hyperreality constituted by speeches, practices, andexperiences of the different social actors. From this posture, the image of the borderas a formal geopolitical division is interpreted as a sustained image and reproducedby government agencies.
