Cosmopolitização e construções identitárias nas fronteiras do Estado-nação

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze how the processes of globalization of the contemporary world that permeate daily life have repercussions on the construction of individual and collective identities from the phenomena that occur between interstate borders, such as the circulation and control of the flows of people. It carries out a bibliographic review which mainly prioritizes some approaches on the emergence of new identity configurations and the intensification of the movement of people within the territorial borders, relating these two issues to the dimension of immigration control laws. From an interpretation supported by some cosmopolitan perspectives, he considers that such a context of transnational space, in which multiple possibilities of identity configuration occur, is marked by a tension between the nationalist perspective of politics, which operates in the legal and institutionalized domain, and the reality of the experiences and conflicts between the various worlds that intersect.
