Border and identity, a process for the deconstruction of power:

the acquisition and development of our historical archaeology

Abstract

The intention of this research is to show how some studies aimed at interpreting different aspects of the problem on border studies in the so-called "Line of Forts and Forts of the Southern Border of the province of Buenos Aires" from the 19th century, have assumed a profile that in many cases reproduces the stories of a liberal historiography incorporating the theoretical adventures of research in the United States in the 'process of misnamed conquest of the west.

When approaching the social experience of the past and the reconstruction of a national and Latin American identity, the theoretical and methodological conceptual bodies, when re-interpreting our history, must assume the academic commitment in the integration to a Nation State in order to begin to be loyal to the popular segments of a past that claims what the official theoretical industry does not require.
