Abstract

The purpose 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 realizes a bibliographic review which prioritizes, mainly, some approaches on the emergence of new identity configurations and the intensification of the movement of people between the territorial borders, relating these two issues with the dimension of the laws of immigration control. From an interpretation supported by some cosmopolitan perspectives, it considers this 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.
