La Zona Norte de Tijuana
Este artículo analiza la Zona Norte de Tijuana como un enclave fronterizo donde se articulan dinámicas globales, regulaciones locales y experiencias subjetivas de trabajadoras sexuales migrantes. A partir de una metodología cualitativa basada en 20 entrevistas estructuradas, 2 entrevistas en profundidad y una etnografía exploratoria realizada entre 2021 y 2024, se reconstruyen trayectorias que permiten comprender la movilidad circular, las jerarq…
Vivir en la frontera de contención
El artículo analiza las transformaciones urbanas y las dinámicas del trabajo sexual en Tapachula, Chiapas, a partir de una lectura corporal de la frontera. Con base en un enfoque etnográfico desarrollado entre 2014 y 2023, se examinan las trayectorias de mujeres, hombres y personas de la comunidad LGBTQ+ migrantes que, ante el cerco migratorio y la precariedad económica, encuentran en el trabajo sexual una estrategia de supervivencia y movilidad.…
El mercado del deseo
This work analyzes the origins and development of sex-erotic work in Tapachula, Chiapas, as a phenomenon intimately linked to the migratory, economic, and social processes that have shaped Mexico's southern border since the late 19th century. Through a reconstruction of the expansion of coffee cultivation and the arrival of the railroad, as well as more recent events such as Hurricane Stan, the Law Against Trafficking in Persons, and the consolid…
Navegando la incertidumbre
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los procesos mediante los cuales el crimen organizado ejerce gobernanza en el Tapón del Darién al controlar rutas migratorias ante la débil presencia estatal. Con trabajo de campo (2021-2023) y un diseño etnográfico transversal, se documentaron las operaciones del Clan del Golfo que facilitan la trata de personas. Los hallazgos evidencian la resiliencia de los migrantes pero resaltan vulnerabilidades agrav…

Desigualdades Socioeconómicas en La Prevalencia De Diabetes Tipo 2 en 28 Países Europeos en 2020-2021
Rutas, dinámicas y Respuestas a la migración
This text breaks down the introduction to the dossier in vol. 8, no. 15 of Encartes. This volume focuses on the migratory corridors that cross Latin America, with special emphasis on the routes that connect the Darien Gap with the northern border of Mexico. These routes, although recognized for their danger and the vulnerability they imply for those who travel them, are also scenarios of resilience, adaptation and creativity.The articles gathered…
Del Tapón del Darién al de Tapachula. Trazo y conformación de nuevas rutas de migrantes que se desplazan con destino a Estados Unidos
A geographic and sociological investigation was conducted on the routes used by migrants who cross the Darien and enter Mexico through Tapachula in order to reach the United States. Methodologically, we combined cartographic analysis, interviews and field trips. In addition, GPS (Global Positioning System) points were taken to spatialize the presence of the National Guard (GN) in the Chiapas Coast-Soconusco corridor. The research is pertinent bec…
Medios sociales y plataformas digitales en la travesía migratoria desde la selva del Darién hasta la frontera norte de México
The trip to the United States for undocumented immigrants includes dangerous routes like the Darien Gap and parts of Mexico run by organized crime. This article examines how social media and digital platforms influence the migrant experience based on two case studies. It shows how media like TikTok, WhatsApp, and Facebook are used not only to document and share experiences in real time but also to build digital support communities. The findings r…
Commodifying Passage
This paper examines transit migration through the Darién Gap and the Mexico–Guatemala border, focusing on the commodification of migration, the transformative role of digital platforms, and the socio-economic impacts on local economies. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews conducted from 2021 to 2023, we explore how migration has evolved into a commodified journey where services and safety are bought and sold, often exploiting …
Cross-border Dynamics and Informal Markets between Colombia and Venezuela
This paper explores some of the cross-border dynamics in Cucuta, Colombia, and Ureña/San Antonio, Venezuela, particularly highlighting the interplay of informal markets and illicit border crossings, known as trochas. This study considers the significant changes that have transformed the Colombia-Venezuela border landscape over the past two decades. The essential function that trochas play in sustaining these cross-border interactions is underscor…
Dinámicas del trabajo sexual en Tijuana
This article presents narrations and social dynamics of the red zone or the tolerance zone in Tijuana, Baja California, which has been, for seven decades, one of the most important enclaves for sex work in the Mexico-United States border. Coahuila Street, known locally as "la Coahuila", located in the Zona Norte, has one of the world's most dynamic sex markets. This work presents the findings obtained after almost five decades of visiting this pe…
Una frágil frontera entre la delincuencia y las drogas
El artículo explora las relaciones entre los mundos de la delincuencia y las drogas, a partir de los testimonios y relatos de vida de personas que trabajan o viven en la Zona Norte de Tijuana, la ciudad fronteriza más grande del norte de México. Objetivo: mostrar cómo se torna difusa la frontera entre las personas y estos mundos a partir de sus tipos de consumo, las drogas utilizadas y sus vínculos directos o indirectos con lo delictivo. Metodolo…
Flujos, contrabando y prácticas de ilegalidad en la frontera México-Estados Unidos
Este artículo describe los tipos de mercancías y objetos que cruzan la frontera México-Estados Unidos en ambas direcciones, particularmente el caso de las ciudades fronterizas de Tijuana-San Diego. Con aportes desde los estudios fronterizos se argumenta que la línea que divide a ambos países funciona de manera diferente de acuerdo con quién cruza y qué tipo de mercancías transporta. Al tomar esto en cuenta, por medio de datos etnográficos obtenid…
Hazy Borders
This paper analyzes the different trading networks, the flux of merchandise, and the actors involved in the act of crossing goods through the United States-Mexico border, particularly in the Tijuana-San Diego region. It argues that the line dividing both countries works differently depending on who travels through it, what kind of items are brought across, and which direction a person is going. These different patterns can be further analyzed whe…
Escalera Náutica. Balance para la conclusión de un megaproyecto de larga data en el Mar de Cortés, México
The Nautical Stairway constitutes a network of nautical scales with basic services and infrastructure for towable boats. The project would contribute to the regional development of the Gulf of California. This article analyzes the context of the megaproject as a tourism policy. The bibliography was compiled through search engines, books, technical and government reports. Three versions of the same project were found (1960-2017): Maritime Tourist …
Religious reconfiguration in Mexico
Although Mexico is one of the countries with the most number of Catholics, it is experiencing a rapid and intense religious diversification. The religious field in Mexico now comprises a myriad of denominations that are transforming the supposed socioreligious homogeneity of Mexicans. Among the Catholics, novel practices often associated with new spiritualities, including neopagan and indigenous rituals, are another feature of this diversity, alo…
El Colef y las ciencias sociales en México
En un periodo de transformación social como el que se vive en México, la pregunta por los nuevos objetivos de la labor científica se vuelve vital. Esta misma pregunta adquiere matices particulares para los retos que enfrentan las ciencias sociales, al encontrarse con nuevos enfoques de trabajo desde la administración federal y las dependencias responsables de la política científica y tecnológica a nivel nacional. Este artículo busca contextualiza…
Over the Wall/Sobre el Muro
Based on the documentary Over the Wall / On the wall (El Colef, 2019), this paper discusses some social effects from the transformations of the barriers or divisions that have demarcated the border limit of the states of California, United States and Baja California, Mexico, until the construction of barriers and divisions promoted by the last four US federal administrations. Based on interviews with migration and border specialists, residents, a…
Tepito, capitalismo a la brava. La tenue frontera entre la legalidad y la ilegalidad
One of the biggest and most popular markets in Latin America is located in the district of Tepito, in Mexico City. There, the boundary between what is legal and what is illegal is diluted amid social and commercial dynamics related to the “globalization from the bottom-up”. From a socio-anthropological point of view, newspaper sources, observation and interviews, this paper explains how contraband, Korean and Chinese immigrants, and piracy networ…
Religious Diversity and its Challenges for Secularism in Mexico
Saints and Virgins
A double referent connoting both movement and immobility, the border region has been, for more than a century, the setting for those who come to stay, those who try to cross over into the United States, and, more recently, those who are deported from the US. Accordingly, the religious practices in this area flow along with the shifting populations and are transformed by them. From a socio-anthropological perspective, this article examines the mai…
Place, Identity, and Deviance
Cities invariably have "gray" areas where formal policing and regulatory reach is relatively ineffective. By focusing on individuals or groups traditional theories of deviance fail to account for community-level processes that create local alternative norms that contribute to behavior seen as deviant by outsiders. By combining theories of space with issues of identity construction and deviance, we analyze an inner-city neighborhood in Mexico City…
