Abstract
Re-bordering, one of the processes of contemporary “borderness,” imposes the configuration of new spatialities in border areas. Focusing on the spaces of everyday life and using a qualitative methodology, the author analyzes the spatial operations that reproduce or resist this process, and whether the operations reinforce border separation between territories and societies of two neighboring nation-states. He analyzes the border between the United States and Mexico, selecting the bi-national Anzalduas Dam on the Río Bravo/Grande as a case study. This place is characterized by the simultaneous presence of re-bordering operations and recreational activities on both sides of the border, based on which the resistance operations are constructed. The author concludes that, to a greater or lesser extent, even the resistance itself reinforces border separation.

An analysis of the reality of each of the three nations is thematically linked with the rest of the region. 1.- Norteamérica will publish exclusively multi- and interdisciplinary academic studies focused on the North American region (Mexico, the United States and Canada) that: a) address the region as an object of analysis: specifically, its evolution, particular processes, and internal dynamics; b) analyze the reality in each of the three nations, linking them thematically with the rest of the region; c) carry out comparative studies of the nations of North America; d) address the region and its insertion in the international context; and e) expand upon international processes and their impact within the region. 2.- Through these research perspectives, the journal will disseminate articles addressing a wide variety of general and specific issues: a) politics, economics, society and culture; b) foreign policy, trade, political systems, security, comparative politics, political philosophy and history; and c) migration, electoral processes, borders, science and technology, minorities, the environment and natural resources, education, human rights, gender, and others.
