FIRPO REGGIO, Maria Emilia. SYMBOLIC BOUNDARIES. AN APPROACH TO THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE REGULATED PROCESSES OF OTHERNESS CONSTRUCTION. Rev. urug. Antropología y Etnografía [online]. 2019, vol.4, n.1, pp.24-35. ISSN 2393-7068. https://doi.org/10.29112/ruae.v4.n1.3.
In this paper, the symbolic boundary will be discussed as an analytical category, agreeing with Rizo and Romeu (2006) that it gives the possibility of approaching the understanding of the logics and dynamics involved in the development of what we consider our own and otherness. Assuming, with greater or lesser consensus, that it is a theoretical-methodological tool which allows the understanding of the particularities that these dissimilar subjective constructions acquire in the encounter, either in terms of negotiation or - in all probability - ratifying limits dependent on the difference. Therefore, it is necessary to consider identity as a category in which the main debates will be ground and which appears as essential to achieve a comprehensive understanding of this polysemic and aporetic concept always imbricated in the approach to symbolic boundaries
