Abstract The United States Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe (1982) that all children regardless of their legal immigration status have a fundamental right to K-12 education. Despite education being a fundamental right, it remains fragile and contested for undocumented immigrants. Federal courts have had to reaffirm Plyler multiple times, including issuing a permanent injunction over California’s Proposition 187 (1994), which banned undocumented children from K-12 public schools and required officials and teachers to report anyone they suspected of being undocumented to federal immigration authorities. More recently, the courts blocked Alabama’s HB 56(2012) provision that required schools to check and report newly enrolled K-12 students’ immigration status. The entanglement between postsecondary education and immigration, which falls outside of Plyler’s protection, has grown more pronounced over the past two decades. Federal immigration law in 1996 opened the door for states to actively regulate undocumented immigrants’ right to postsecondary education, including banning admissions or creating discriminatory hardships by denying in-state tuition or financial aid. While a rich scholarship covers these policies and their effects, no systematic study exists on the news framing of the intersection between education and immigration. This article examines 40,469 news articles published from 1980 to 2022 in six national and state news sources in the United States to explore the (dis)connections between education (K-12 and postsecondary) and immigration. Combining machine learning techniques and social network analysis with qualitative coding, we show that reporters’ use of a range of experts creates a deep conflation of education with immigration enforcement and illegality framing. Despite quests for journalistic neutrality, we argue that the use of experts by reporters prevents immigrant education from being a topic on its own or a topic where immigrants are framed primarily in a positive and inclusive way.

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar las prácticas alimentarias desplegadas por los referentes de comedores y ollas populares de Argentina durante la pandemia por Covid-19. Metodología: El abordaje es cualitativo y la selección de los sujetos incorporados al estudio se basó en el muestreo intencional. 63 entrevistas en profundidad en ocho barrios populares del Gran La Plata (Buenos Aires). Resultados: Se describe el entrelazamiento tanto de recursos económicos y organizativos, como de saberes locales y hábitos culinarios que se activaron ante la situación de emergencia alimentaria. Se muestra que el hecho de alimentar en contextos populares durante la pandemia ha sido una práctica colectiva compleja, diversa e inscripta territorialmente. Limitaciones: La emergencia sanitaria y las medidas de restricción a la circulación, limitaron la posibilidad de complementar el análisis de las prácticas alimentarias reconstruidas discursivamente con su observación directa en campo. Conclusiones: Las prácticas desplegadas por los referentes de comedores y ollas populares no se limitaron a la mediación pasiva entre la asistencia alimentaria estatal/civil y los hogares, sino que se inscribieron en las formas de organización y liderazgo barriales, dialogaron con las culturas locales y supieron interpelar los “gustos” nativos. De allí que su desempeño fuera considerado eficaz, cubriendo una necesidad alimentaria, como así también oficiando de soporte social y emocional clave frente a un contexto de incertidumbre de los hogares.

Abstract Objective: To analyse food practices deployed by popular leaders of community kitchens in Argentina during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: The approach is qualitative, and the selection of the subjects incorporated into the study followed the criteria of purposive sampling. Sixty-three in-depth interviews in Gran La Plata (Buenos Aires). Results: In the results we can describes the entanglement of economic and organizational resources, local knowledge, cooking and feeding habits, etc., which were activated facing the food emergency. It shows that feeding in popular neighbourhoods during the pandemic has been a complex, diverse, collective practice, as the same time is also territorially inscribed, which keeps it from any homogenizing claim. Limitations: The health emergency and the measures that restricted the circulation of people, limited the possibility of complementing the analysis of discursively reconstructed food practices with direct observation in the field. Conclusions: In this part, the position of popular leaders in community kitchens was not only to intermediate between state/civil food assistance and household needs, but they were part of neighbourhood organisation and leadership, they dialogued with local cultures and were able to question native "tastes". For all this, their performance was considered effective, covering food needs as well as providing social and emotional support for households facing uncertainty.

abstract This paper addresses the archaeological theory about entanglements between things and humans, understanding this relationship as flows of matter, energy, and information. The cultural world cannot be understood as self-evident data; things take part in a long process of interdependence, construction, and transmission of knowledge. The entanglement is composed of conceptual abstractions and bodily resonance, a reverberation between mind, body, and the world of things. Biosociomaterial entanglements relate to the dialectic of dependence and dependency between humans and things. Addressing the entanglement between humans and things allows for more dialogue between the humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, and material sciences in archaeological and anthropological inquiries matter energy information selfevident self evident data interdependence construction knowledge resonance mind body humanities

resumo Este artigo aborda a teoria arqueológica sobre os emaranhados entre coisas e humanos, entendendo essa relação como fluxos de matéria, energia e informação. O mundo cultural não pode ser entendido como dados autoevidentes; as coisas participam de um longo processo de interdependência, construção e transmissão de conhecimento. O emaranhado é composto de abstrações conceituais e ressonância corporal, uma reverberação entre mente, corpo e o mundo das coisas. Os emaranhados biossociomateriais dizem respeito à dialética da dependência e sujeição entre humanos e coisas. Abordar o emaranhado entre humanos e coisas permite um diálogo entre as humanidades, ciências sociais, ciências biológicas e ciências materiais nas investigações arqueológicas e antropológicas. matéria informação autoevidentes interdependência conhecimento corporal mente humanidades sociais antropológicas

Resumen Este artículo aborda, desde la interfaz entre la etnografía multiespecie, el feminismo y los estudios sociales de la ciencia, los enredos multiespecie que emergen de las prácticas de cuidado del humedal de Tibanica en la localidad de Bosa en Bogotá. Es decir, retoma los entramados relacionales entre distintas especies que contribuyen al sostenimiento de este ecosistema. Así pues afirma, a través de descripciones etnográficas sobre "Tinanica" y el proceso de germinar en el agua, que estos enredos que emergen del cuidado permiten la apropiación del territorio y la defensa del humedal por parte de Tina Fresneda y del Colectivo Ambiental Germinamos en Tibanica.

Resumo Neste artigo, Este artigo aborda,o a partir da interface entre a etnografia multiespécies, o feminismo e os estudos sociais da ciência, os emaranhados enredos multiespécies que emergem das práticas de cuidado do a área úmida de pantanal Tibanica no município de Bosa em Bogotá. Em outras palavras, voltoretoma aas tramas os quadros relacionais entre diferentes espécies que contribuem para a sustentabilidade desse ecossistema. Assim, afirma,o por meio de descrições etnográficas sobre Tinanica e o processo de germinação na água, que esses emaranhados queenredos que emergem do cuidado permitem a apropriação do território e a defesa do pantanalda área úmida por parte de Tina Fresneda e pelodo coletivo Germinamos en Tibanica.

Abstract In this article I approach from the interface between multispecies ethnography, feminism, and the social studies of science the multispecies entanglements that emerge from the care practices of the Tibanica wetland in the town of Bosa. In other words, I return to the relational frameworks between different species that contribute to the sustainability of this ecosystem. Thus, I affirm through ethnographic descriptions of Tinanica and the process of germinating in the water that these entanglements that emerge from care allow the appropriation of the territory and defense of the wetland by Tina Fresneda and the Germinamos en Tibanica collective.

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need to develop theory and practice in digital education. In this position paper, we expand on the research conducted in information systems (IS) on sociomateriality by applying it to online learning. The aim was to provide a theoretical underpinning for guidelines to reduce the complexity of social and material combinations in digital education. An overview of sociomateriality within IS research is provided, distinguishing between two sociomaterial perspectives to situate the research. A high-level review of student learning as the social and online learning as the material is applied to a four-quadrant model to unbundle the complexities within this space. Our perspectives are supported by feedback from a third-year information systems course that confirmed the merit of the model and broadened research in online learning. The model is further refined with a philosophical underpinning of Ackoffs four pursuits of humankind to provide recommendations for future interventions.

Resumen En este texto trabajaré con la madeja que enreda la Tierra y el cielo, desde un punto de vista estético-imaginario. Para ello recorreré algunas discusiones contemporáneas que considero que pueden funcionar como puntas del ovillo en cuestión. Por un lado, revisaré algunas de las ideas de Peter Sloterdijk para pensar el problema de la globalización como particular declinación del viejo problema ontológico de la esfera. Por otro lado, recuperaré algunos elementos del horizonte de trabajo de la astronomía cultural que permitirán describir la trama social del cielo y a la vez la relación material cielo-tierra. Es a partir de aquí que propondré una lectura que considero necesaria y novedosa en el contexto de las discusiones en torno al posthumanismo y los nuevos materialismos: la necesaria inclusión del cielo como problema material y posthumano. Basándome en este último enfoque, analizaré algunas obras de Faivovich y Goldberg que forman parte del proyecto en torno a Campo del cielo.

Abstract This paper explores the entanglement between the earth and the sky, from an aesthetic-imaginary point of view. To do so, we will go through some contemporary discussions that we consider can illuminate the problem addressed. On the one hand, we will review some of Peter Sloterdijk’s ideas to think the problem of globalization as a particular declination of the old ontological problem of the sphere. On the other hand, we will recover some elements of cultural astronomy field, which will allow us to describe the social fabric of the sky and at the same time the material relation sky-earth. It is from here that we will propose a perspective that we consider necessary and original in the context of the discussions on posthumanism and new materialisms: the inclusion of the sky as a material and posthuman problem. Based on this last approach, we will analyse some works by Faivovich and Goldberg that are part of the project on Campo del cielo .

Resumo Este artigo examina o período fundacional e formativo do pensamento social interdisciplinar no Caribe anglófono, no intuito de se engajar criticamente com a hipótese da dependência acadêmica, e joga luz sobre como intelectuais das Índias Ocidentais nos anos 1950 resistiram a estruturas de dominação institucionais e epistêmicas. O legado e o enraizamento imperial da produção de conhecimento das ciências sociais é constituído por contribuições de diferentes tipos, ainda que frequentemente estejam focadas sobre discussões macrohistóricas e epistêmicas. Argumento que, para reforçá-las, estudos de caso empíricos da produção de conhecimento social no Sul Global podem ser produtivos a fim de elaborar e aprender de tradições de teorização e pesquisa não hegemônicas. Ao conduzir a reconstrução de um contexto institucional de produção de conhecimento e sua interação um com o outro, buscarei mostrar que os cientistas sociais das Índias Ocidentais representam um exemplo inspirador de como a teorização social era praticada a contra a corrente das relações centro-periferia.

Abstract This paper examines the foundational and formative period of interdisciplinary social thought in the anglophone Caribbean to critically engage with hypothesis of academic dependency and shed further light on how West Indian scholars in the 1950s resisted institutional and epistemic structures of dominance. Manifold contributions outline the colonial and imperial legacy and entanglement of social sciences knowledge production, however often focus on macro-historical and epistemic discussions. To enhance these, I argue, concrete empirical case studies of social knowledge production in the Global South can be productive to elaborate and learn from non-hegemonic traditions of theorising and researching. Conducting a reconstruction of the institutional context of knowledge production and its interaction with each other, it will be shown that West Indian social scientists represent an inspiring example of how social theorising was practiced against the grain of centre-periphery relations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) and online learning highlighted issues of social justice, pedagogical inclusion and epistemic access in higher education. The research underlying this article analyses the complexities of access to learning and the effects of the shift to ERT and online learning on the social justice agenda in South Africa, using the case study of the University of Johannesburg. The article uses the conceptual frameworks of epistemic access, equity and inclusive pedagogy from the theories of Fraser (2008), Mbembe (2016) and Mgqwashu (2016). Pedagogic continuity and inclusion (Motala and Menon 2020; Menon and Motala 2021), hard-won by many institutions during the pandemic, will need to be sustained and secured as the world adapts to a "new normal" in higher education and other spheres of life. Czerniewicz et al. (2020, 957) refer to the maxim "Anytime, anyplace, anywhere" characterising ERT as a "brutal underestimation of the complexities and entanglement of different inequalities and structural arrangements". Fataar (2020), Czerniewicz et al. (2020) and Hodges et al. (2020) advocate an alternative pedagogy that is "trauma-informed" and offers parity with the pedagogies that prevailed pre-pandemic. The article concludes that the pre-existing conditions of deep inequality and inequities, and a highly differentiated higher education system with uneven pedagogical practices, were exacerbated by the pandemic. While we acknowledge the achievement of avoiding the loss of the academic year during the pandemic, we argue that it is important to learn lessons from the initial implementation of ERT and the fractures that it highlights in higher education. Heading into an uncertain future, the sector needs explicit equity-driven approaches to ensure pedagogical inclusion beyond physical and epistemic access.

Abstract As a health policy for COVID-19, the confinement's implementation transformed the home beyond family life into the workplace and school. In this context, we analyze the work-family reconciliation (WFR) based on gender and whether having children. The study has a mixed approach. We applied 578 online questionnaires and 50 interviews with Mexican workers. We found that amid the accelerated shift to virtual work, professional and private roles have blurred. Online work broke into personal life resulting in the entanglement of duties, grueling work hours, unfavorable institutional policies to reconcile work-family, and hostility from co-workers, all of which triggered stress and frustration in workers, mainly in fathers/mothers. For women with children, the risk of unemployment increased three times. Thus, this confinement triggered, without planning it, a social experiment that allows us to see some of the effects of the work-family conflict and the difficulty WFR implies in the face of the abrupt and massive implementation of policies according to the neoliberal model.

Resumen La implementación del confinamiento como política sanitaria por COVID-19, transformó el hogar, más allá de la vida familiar, en el lugar de trabajo y de la escuela. En ese contexto, analizamos la conciliación trabajo-familia (CTF) en función del género y de tener o no niños/as, en un estudio con enfoque mixto. Aplicamos 578 cuestionarios on-line y 50 entrevistas a trabajadores/as mexicanos/as. Encontramos que en medio del acelerado cambio hacia el trabajo virtual, se han desdibujado los roles profesional y privado. El home-office irrumpió en la vida privada resultando en enmarañamiento de funciones, jornadas de trabajo extenuantes, políticas institucionales desfavorables para la CTF y hostilidad de compañeros/as de trabajo, todo lo cual disparó estrés y frustración en los/as trabajadores/as, principalmente en padres/madres. Para las mujeres con niños/as, aumentó tres veces el riesgo de desempleo. Así, este confinamiento accionó, sin planearlo, un experimento social que nos permite ver algunos de los efectos del conflicto trabajo-familia, y la dificultad que implica la CTF frente a la implementación abrupta y masiva de políticas acordes al modelo neoliberal.

Academics should produce quality scholarly research. However, the demands of the marketised, neoliberal higher education institution and the increase in the academic's bureaucratic and administrative tasks do not allow for adequate engagement with the deep work and slow forms of scholarship that are needed to produce cutting-edge and insightful research. Many academics find it challenging to think critically and creatively under such conditions, yet they are unwilling to fill their time with shallow work instead. Thus, they are torn between producing an institutionally-determined number of research outputs, and striving towards producing quality scholarly work that advances knowledge in the academic's discipline. Reading groups serve to rework this tension by providing a communal and scheduled place and mind-space for reading major academic works. Reading takes time and persistence. We find that setting aside time and creating creative spaces for reading groups offer an opportunity for silent revolt against the pressures of the higher education institution. In this (post)qualitative inquiry we diffractively read - "through one another" - two autoethnographical accounts to experiment with our experiences of various reading groups over a period of three years while positioning ourselves in relation to Barad's notion of diffraction. This speculative experimentation entails a myriad of ideas and methods that serve to decentre hegemonic, monolithic knowledge systems through seeking alternative ways of knowing, and recognises the importance of the entanglement of matter and meaning in tracing (and countering) the social relations produced in neoliberalist contexts. Such (re)thinking is thus a vital counterpoint to the neoliberal obsessions of the higher education context, (re)directing the scholar to new non-autonomous and mutable landscapes.

ABSTRACT This article aims to address intersectional issues in the field of arts and social sciences around the categories of race and gender articulated by the signifier of “negridade”. Taking as a case of analysis the video of the song Apeshit, released in 2018, this article focuses on the regimes of sayability and visibility that manifest themselves in musical aesthetics. In that discussion, black performance operates a break with regimes of (in)visibility in the sequentiality established by a certain narrative of art history. Sonority, visuality, and corporality trace a sensitive entanglement in a performance, in which one problematically glimpses the reintegration of subalternized bodies to the spaces that were denied to them as spaces of their excellence. The performative dimension of the clip Apeshit allows us to work with strategies of imagination/creation of worlds by minority subjectivities that play with the ambivalences and codes of hegemonic culture in order to trace routes and performative breaks from an appropriation and decoding of the normative and parodic dimension of these codes. negridade. negridade . “negridade” 2018 aesthetics discussion invisibility history Sonority visuality excellence imaginationcreation imagination creation “negridade 201 20 2

RESUMO Este artigo pretende abordar as questões interseccionais no campo das artes e das ciências sociais em torno das categorias raça e gênero, articuladas pelo significante da negridade. Tendo como caso de análise o vídeo da música Apeshit, lançado em 2018, este artigo foca nos regimes de dizibilidade e visibilidade que se manifestam nas estéticas musicais. Nesta discussão, a performance preta opera uma quebra com regimes de (in)visibilidade na sequencialidade instaurada por uma certa narrativa da história da arte. Sonoridade, visualidade e corporalidade traçam um emaranhado sensível em uma performance, na qual se vislumbra problematicamente a reintegração de corpos subalternizados aos espaços que lhe foram negados como espaços da sua excelência. A dimensão performativa do clipe Apeshit permite trabalhar com estratégias de imaginação/criação de mundos que jogam com as ambivalências e os códigos da cultura hegemônica no sentido de traçar rotas e quebras performativas desde uma apropriação e decodificação da dimensão normativa e paródica desses códigos. gênero negridade 2018 musicais discussão invisibilidade in arte Sonoridade excelência imaginaçãocriação imaginação criação 201 20 2

Resumen: El perro es un elemento clave en la práctica de diversas modalidades de caza mayor. Es utilizado mayormente para la caza del jabalí, actividad en la cual muchas veces los perros mueren o salen heridos. En este sentido existen colectivos sociales que están en contra de la caza con perros ya que argumentan que existe una amenaza al bienestar de ese animal, o que la caza con perros genera impactos negativos en la conservación de especies nativas. Este trabajo se centra en la representación del perro de caza mayor en diferentes colectivos sociales en Uruguay. Analizamos los significados del perro en este entramado social y las tensiones entre cazadores, colectivos animalistas y el Estado. Proponemos que el perro de caza mayor es por un enredo de prácticas y representaciones en relación a la caza, el bienestar animal y la conservación de la naturaleza.

Abstract: Dogs are critical elements in the practice of various modalities of big game. They are primarily used in wild boar hunting, in which dogs often are dead or injured. In this line of thought, some social collectives are against using hounds in hunting, arguing it entails a high risk for dog welfare or its severe impact on native species conservation efforts. This work focuses on the significance of big game hounds among various social collectives in Uruguay. We analyze the meanings of dogs in this social scheme and the strains between hunters, animal rights collectives, and the State. We suggest big game hounds resulted from an entanglement of practices and representations related to game, animal rights, and nature conservation.

Resumo: O cão é um elemento chave na pratica de diversas modalidades de caça maior. Utiliza-se principalmente para caça de javali, atividade na qual muitas vezes os cães morrem ou se ferem. Nessa perspectiva existem coletivos sociais que estão contra a caça com cães, eles argumentam que existe uma ameaça do bem-estar desse animal ou que a caça com cães gera efeitos negativos na conservação das espécies nativas. Esse trabalho se focaliza na representação do cão de caça maior em diferentes coletivos sociais em Uruguai. Analisamos os significados e as tensões do cão nessa trama social e as tensões entre os caçadores, os coletivos animalistas e o Estado. Propomos que o cão de caça maior existe por uma confusão de praticas e representações da caça, do bem-estar animal e da conservação da natureza.

Abstract The COVID-19 virus pandemic has the paradoxical effect of putting us in a completely new scenario in the modern world and at the same time mobilizing concepts that we have known for a long time. The purpose of this article is to suggest that the coronavirus pandemic made explicit the entanglement of the world, but in doing so it transformed us into what I call the “society of astonishment” inhabited by a new subjectivity, characterized by the “new wounded” as conceived by Catherine Malabou. Through establishing associations between Mauss, Bateson and Ingold, an attempt is made to understand the relationships between man and the world as an interlocking set of lines of life, growth and movement, which allows us to understand the relationships between the biological, psychological and social dimensions. It is proposed to understand the pandemic and quarantine as a traumatic event through which a new collective and individual identity could be built.

Resumen La pandemia del virus Covid-19 tiene el efecto paradójico de ponernos en una situación completamente nueva para el mundo moderno y, al mismo tiempo, movilizar conceptos que conocemos desde hace mucho tiempo. El objetivo de este artículo es proponer que la pandemia del coronavirus explicitó el entramado del mundo y al hacerlo nos transformó en lo que llamo la “sociedad del espanto” habitada por una nueva subjetividad que se caracteriza por la figura de los “nuevos heridos”, desarrollada por Catherine Malabou. A través de establecer asociaciones entre Mauss, Bateson e Ingold se intenta entender las relaciones entre el hombre y el mundo como un conjunto entrelazado de líneas de vida, crecimiento y movimiento, que permite comprender las relaciones entre las dimensiones biológica, psicológica y social. Se propone pensar la pandemia y la cuarentena como un evento traumático a través de la cual se podría construir una nueva identidad colectiva e individual.

The implementation of climate change policy in South Africa inevitably requires decision-makers to navigate issues of development. This paper explores some of the implications of this requirement by examining the case of a proposed new independent coal-fired power producing plant, Khanyisa, in the province of Mpumalanga from the perspective of complexity studies, an emerging transdisciplinary field. Complexity thinking re-casts the Khanyisa project in a whole-system view, encouraging an active consideration of scale, perspectives, different knowledges, and cumulative impacts. In so doing, tensions both between and within dimensions of climate mitigation and development are quickly revealed, a complexity which is theorised in complexity studies as the raw material for systemic transformation. This whole-system conceptualisation also undermines incremental and relative arguments that Khanyisa mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. Further, the complex systemic property of non-linearity suggests that the Khanyisa decision is more significant than its power generation capacity indicates. Attention to the conceptual simplification inherent in 'development' highlights what is lost through such simplification, as well as what is gained, and by whom. Finally, complexity thinking foregrounds the multiple scales at which the systemic climate mitigation and development implications of Khanyisa play out. Currently there is very little policy-making capacity nationally, regionally or in eMalahleni to look at alternatives, or 'spaces of possibility' through the complexity lens for both development and climate mitigation. This case argues that new policy processes are needed, which go far beyond policy and regulatory processes steeped in path dependencies and incrementalism.Highlights • The case reveals the complex entanglement of climate and development issues as raw material for systemic transformation. • A whole system and scalar conceptualisation, paying attention to non-linearities, and the exercise of power through simplifications suggest productive areas of focus for policymakers • New policy processes are needed, which go far beyond policy and regulatory processes steeped in path dependencies and incrementalism.

RESUMEN. Objetivo/contexto: con base en el estudio de caso del departamento de Norte de Santander, el artículo presenta un análisis de las transformaciones en las dinámicas de violencia y conflicto y en la constelación de actores armados no estatales en la frontera colombo-venezolana luego de la firma del acuerdo de paz con las FARC. El estudio se basa en una perspectiva que considera las dinámicas del conflicto prolongado en Colombia y sus legados en los órdenes sociales, así como las particularidades que la condición de frontera trae consigo en términos de seguridad. Metodología: estudio de caso empírico basado en información recogida mediante entrevistas y observación no participante, así como en revisión de informes, prensa y bibliografía secundaria. Conclusión: la situación de violencia e inseguridad actual es el resultado de las dinámicas de un conflicto prolongado donde tres tipos de conflicto confluyen, interactúan y se retroalimentan: la guerra civil en Colombia, la violencia criminal, y la crisis migratoria y humanitaria producto de la crisis venezolana. En este marco se ha dado un fortalecimiento de un orden no estatal, mayor fragmentación de actores armados no estatales y competencia criminal. Originalidad: la existencia de abundante información sobre la situación de seguridad y violencia en la frontera colombo-venezolana en el periodo reciente contrasta con los pocos análisis académicos y desarrollos conceptuales al respecto. Este artículo intenta hacer una contribución mediante: a) un marco conceptual que conecta las literaturas sobre conflicto armado, órdenes sociales y seguridad en territorios fronterizos; b) análisis con base en información primaria que da cuenta tanto del fenómeno como del contexto.

ABSTRACT. Objective/Context: Based on a case study of the Department of Norte de Santander, Colombia, this article analyzes the changes in the dynamics of violence and the composition of the armed non-State actors on the Colombian-Venezuelan borders after the signing of the peace agreement between the Colombian State and the FARC guerrilla. It focuses on the dynamics of the protracted conflict in Colombia, its impact on the social orders of this territory and the particular implications of the ‘border effect’ in terms of security. Methodology: This empirical study is based on information gathered from interviews and non-participatory observations, complemented by a review of official reports, newspaper articles and the secondary literature. Conclusions: The current situation of violence and insecurity is the result of the overlapping of three types of conflict which interact and mutually influence each other and have been caused by the civil war in Colombia, the activities of criminal gangs and the humanitarian crisis arising from the mass migration of Venezuelans to Colombia. Against this backdrop, there has been a strengthening of a non-State order, an increasing fragmentation of the armed non-state actors and an internecine warfare between criminal gangs. Originality: While a large body of information about the violent situation on the Colombian-Venezuelan border has emerged in recent years, there have been few academic studies of the subject so far. This article aims to make a contribution to this field of study, by presenting: a) a conceptual framework that draws on studies of the armed conflicts, social orders and security of borderlands in other regions, and b) an analysis, based on primary sources, of the phenomenon and the context.

RESUMO. Objetivo/contexto: a partir do estudo de caso do estado de Norte de Santander, Colômbia, este artigo apresenta uma análise das transformações nas dinâmicas de violência e conflito, e na constelação de atores armados não estatais na fronteira colombo-venezuelana após a assinatura do acordo de paz com as Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia. O estudo está baseado em uma perspectiva que considera as dinâmicas do conflito prolongado na Colômbia e seu legado nas ordens sociais, bem como as particularidades que a condição de fronteira traz consigo em termos de segurança. Metodologia: estudo de caso empírico baseado em informação coletada mediante entrevistas e observação não participante, bem como na revisão de relatórios, imprensa e bibliografia secundária. Conclusão: a situação de violência e insegurança atual é o resultado das dinâmicas do conflito prolongado em que três tipos de conflito se fusionam, interagem e se retroalimentam: a guerra civil na Colômbia, a violência criminal e a crise migratória e humanitária, produto da crise venezuelana. Nesse contexto, há um fortalecimento de uma ordem não estatal, maior fragmentação de atores armados não estatais e competência criminal. Originalidade: a existência de abundante informação sobre a situação de segurança e violência na fronteira colombo-venezuelana na atualidade constrasta com análise acadêmica e desenvolvimento conceitual escassos a respeito. Este artigo pretende fazer uma contribuição mediante: a) um referencial teórico que conecta as literaturas sobre o conflito armado, as ordens sociais e a segurança em territórios fronteiriços; b) análise com base em informação primária que evidencia tanto o fenômeno quanto o contexto.
