            Abstract
            Las fronteras no son solo líneas físicas en un mapa, sino divisiones y procesos sociales y simbólicos que se configuran continuamente a través del lenguaje y la interacción cotidiana. Este volumen bilingüe desafía las nociones estáticas y binarias de las fronteras, revelando cómo se construyen y se mantienen, pero también se desafían y se reinventan mediante prácticas comunicativas concretas. Desde diversas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas, los y las autoras analizan fronteras nacionales, transnacionales, simbólicas y de género en Europa, África y las Américas, abordando cuestiones de urgente actualidad como la migración, la identidad, el racismo, la discriminación de género y otras formas de exclusión mediadas por el lenguaje. El volumen ofrece claves críticas para comprender cómo el lenguaje moldea las fronteras de nuestro mundo: una contribución que invita a reflexionar sobre las formas sutiles y manifiestas en que el lenguaje participa en la (de)construcción de las divisiones sociales. Borders are not just physical lines on a map—they are social and symbolic divisions and processes continuously shaped through language and everyday interaction. This bilingual volume challenges static, binary notions of borders, revealing how they are constructed and maintained, but also resisted and reimagined through specific communicative practices. Bringing together diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, the contributors examine national, transnational, symbolic, and gendered borders in Europe, Africa and the Americas, engaging with pressing issues such as migration, identity, racism, gender discrimination, and other forms of exclusion mediated by language. This volume offers critical insights into how language shapes the borders of our contemporary world: a thought-provoking contribution that invites readers to critically engage with the subtle and overt ways language participates in the (un)making of social divides.
