Abstract

The borders and traditional socio-spatial territorialities has been characterized by a fixation with states and territories and the notion that borders are physical consequences of political, social and/or economic processes. The geographical space/place has been historically built through systems of symbols, actions and relationships among several social groups that occupy a given territory. This paper examines, from socio-phenomenological standpoint, a central question: how to describe phenomenologically of border-making related to each other? Two aspects will be dealt with here. First, the original sense of ´homeland-immigrant´, by studying how immigrants build their sense of belonging in other territories outside their country that have a nexus as their home. And second place, the nexus between life-world (Lebenswelt), power relations and socials construction as original structure of world-experiencing-life.
