“…This seems to refer to the lack of multicultural influences, which is characteristic for many other native and non-native brokers: these brokers were often born in the borders between cultures "with a foot in each culture", for instance, as children of multiethnic families (Szasz 1994a:8-9;Hämäläinen & Truett 2011). A closer look, however, reveals that even if the early Finnish contacts were missing, the North Sámi Nuorgam family was living in the Inari Sámi area, where the grandfather good.…”

The role of “Squantos” – different kinds of intermediators, cultural interpreters, or cultural brokers coming from native societies – has been important in encounters between Indigenous peoples and the outside world. The article describes a North Sámi broker, Johan Nuorgam, the founder of the Sámi museum in Inari, Finland. Due to dramatic incidents as a young man, he left his reindeer Sámi life to move to Helsinki, the Finnish capital in the beginning of 1930s. He worked as an informant for Finnish researchers, as a guide in a Finnish outdoor museum, a collector of Sámi artefacts, and an editing assistant in a North Sámi magazine. All this later made Nuorgam a pioneer in Sámi media and politics, as well as in museum management. In this article, I interrogate Nuorgam as a “Squanto”.

“…Esto no es únicamente el caso de los paraguayos que viven en Brasil o viceversa (Estrada, 2015;Blanc, 2015;Albuquerque, 2010), sino también de ejemplos como los mexicanos en San Diego, Estados Unidos (Kopinak & Soriano Miras, 2013) o los inmigrantes holandeses que se han trasladado a ciudades alemanas en la frontera holandesa (Strüver, 2005). Los estudios fronterizos, que han estado marcados por la innovación, han sido empleados para interpretar el comportamiento de las poblaciones dentro de las regiones fronterizas en todo el mundo (Adelman & Aron, 1999;Hämäläinen & Truett, 2011).…”

Resumen: Este artículo analiza el papel de los procesos y actividades transnacionales para la integración y desarrollo socio-económico de Paraguay en el Mercado Común del Sur (MERCOSUR). Elaborado dentro del marco teórico del campo del transnacionalismo, este trabajo, investiga los lazos forjados y mantenidos por personas con dos o más países. En particular, este trabajo enfoca en los procesos migratorios y prácticas transnacionales de personas que residieron en la región este de Paraguay en frontera con el estado de Mato Grosso do Sul en Brasil. Los procesos migratorios y prácticas transnacionales entre esa región fronteriza de Paraguay con el estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, llevaron al desarrollo del concepto de transnacionalismo próximo. El argumento principal de este artículo, considerando dos factores esenciales, es que Paraguay desempeña un papel clave en los procesos presentados aquí como transnacionalismo próximo. El primero está relacionado con los procesos migratorios desde región este de Paraguay hacia la región sur del entonces estado de Mato Grosso en Brasil, ocurridos entre el fin de la Guerra contra la Triple Alianza (1864-1870) y la primera mitad del siglo XX, posteriormente ocurriendo cuando las políticas agrarias paraguayas atrajeron agricultores de Brasil, especialmente en las décadas de 1960 y 1970. El segundo factor está relacionado con la habilidad de las personas en fácilmente circular entre los dos países. El concepto transnacionalismo próximo es resultado de una etnografía multifocal realizada en la frontera entre Brasil y Paraguay, entre el 2013 y 2016, concluida en 2017. Palabras clave: Paraguay, Brasil, transnacionalismo, migración, frontera.Resumo: Este artigo analisa o papel dos processos e atividades transnacionais para a integração e desenvolvimento socioeconômico do Paraguai no Mercado Comum do Sul (MERCOSUL). Elaborado dentro do quadro teórico do campo do transnacionalismo, este trabalho investiga os laços forjados e mantidos por cidadãos com dois ou mais países. Em

“…The border finally also reveals the identity of the Chicano people conceptualized as "juggling cultures" who are considered to have hybridity identities [19] or plural personalities [20, p. 46]. Hybridity identity occurs because there is a colonial experience in Mexican society in the United States, for which most of the research [21], [22] finally illustrated in most Chicano literature shows the colonial experience of Mexican society in the United States. Chavez [23] says that the Mexican American community is an alien in their own country.…”

Reyna Grande's The Distance Between Us delivers another definition of a term border illustrated by the Mexican immigrants or later called Chicano in the United States. To construct the definition, Sara Upstone's postcolonial theory is applied for the analysis of the novel. Literally, 'border' is considered a gate as a place to provide an entrance or an opening used for passage. Thus, this novel depicts the mixture of cultures as a result of struggle committed by the main character of the novel through the passage. However, due to the emergence of chaos as the result of the mixing process, the border is not solely interpreted as a geographical territory but considered a postspace as the mixing involves a breach to an area or space.
