CASTRO NEIRA, Yerko. Migrations and borders in the age of the fetishism of the law. []. , 23, pp.29-43. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.23.2018.3521.

In this paper, we review various aspects that characterize migrations and human displacement today. We see how, in different latitudes, scenarios of multiple and complex violence are repeated. Based on fieldwork developed in Tijuana, on the border of Mexico with the United States, we reflect on the role of law and security in shaping those violent scenarios. In this way, we propose to question the ambiguity of the law and security discourses, trying to contribute to a vision in which the law is in conformity with a culture of feelings favorable to the human and social diverse coexistence.
