- Title
SOBRE LIMINALIDAD Y FRONTERA.

- Abstract
The aim of the following article is for university students to question the meta-narrative that have been/are being built about reality and to become aware of the presence and the effects of colonialism and imperialism in our society. Therefore, we will use the concept of the frontier as a physical and immaterial border -- one that can be approached with the notion of the semiosphere, as provided by the semiotician Iuri Lotman -- and we will propose that the documentary The Wall by Ricardo Martinez be viewed and analysed. We believe that Martinez's activity can be of good use not only as a tool to illustrate complex concepts within culture and alterity, but also to reflect on the reality around us or to be aware of the existence of a human dignity that goes beyond any laws.
