“…They helped to construct popular images of border places before television and personal cameras came into widespread use (Arreola, 2001: 507). Although they were historically an important medium of information about tourism on the border, today, postcard use has diminished, although the cards that do remain depict the border as an important part of life and tourism south of the US-Mexico boundary (Arreola, 2001(Arreola, , 2010.…”

Since the early 1900s, Mexico’s northern border towns became important tourism destinations, receiving more foreign tourists than any other areas of Mexico. Historically, postcards followed the development of tourism in the borderlands, depicting unique border-oriented tourismscapes and life in general, and establishing an iconic image of the border as a rowdy, promiscuous and decadent location where Americans could spend their holidays abroad and participate in tourisms of vice. Until the 2000s, tourism in the US-Mexico border zone was overwhelmingly leisure oriented, and the proliferation of postcards illustrated that fact. Today, there are few postcards left and the ones that do remain are less focused on the border itself, as they once were; instead, they focus on the broader community with less emphasis on the borderline. Changes in border tourism from leisure pursuits to medical tourism and alcohol consumption, growing security concerns, and the proliferation of mobile phones and social media have almost entirely eliminated postcard use as a souvenir and marker of regional tourism identity in the US-Mexico borderlands.

“…En contraste, las ciudades fronterizas mexicanas son más afluentes que el promedio nacional y experimentan niveles de empleo también mayores, pero se distinguen por sus carencias urbanas y falta de planeación. Un aspecto compartido por las ciudades de la frontera es su caracterización recurrente en los medios de comunicación de cada país como territorios fértiles para la ilegalidad, la violencia, la degradación ambiental y la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas (Arreola, 2010;Johnson & Niemeyer, 2008).…”

Este artículo documenta y analiza la respuesta de las ciudades de la región fronte-riza México-Estados Unidos a la emergencia sanitaria y a un proceso sustancial de refronterización desencadenado por el COVID-19. Como muchos otros países, la estrategia principal de Estados Unidos y México para contener la propaga-ción del coronavirus ha sido la adopción de medidas de distanciamiento social y restricciones a la movilidad, incluyendo el cierre de la frontera común. Una implicación inmediata de este proceso es el reforzamiento de la presencia de los gobiernos nacionales en la gestión de la salud fronteriza y, potencialmente, la contracción de los espacios de gobernanza en los que participan tradicional-mente actores subnacionales. Mediante el análisis de datos secundarios de ocho pares de ciudades fronterizas contiguas, se examinan las respuestas de actores locales a la pandemia en el marco de un proceso acelerado de refronterización y se perfilan escenarios de gobernanza y cooperación trasfronteriza pospandemia.
