Apresentarei algumas considera es te¨®ricas sobre as cercas que est o sendo constru¨ªdas nos limites territoriais dos enclaves de Ceuta e Melilla, separando o continente europeu do territ¨®rio marroquino, e consequentemente, africano. Barreiras que delimitam a separa o entre Estados-na o t¨ºm vindo a multiplicar-se em todos os continentes. Apesar da crescente liberaliza o do com¨¦rcio e do incremento de discursos pol¨ªticos que incentivam a liberdade de circula o, os pa¨ªses desenvolvidos tamb¨¦m participam neste movimento de prolifera o de barreiras que filtram o movimento de actores sociais. Encaixo a constru o de barreiras nestes enclaves na constela o de aparelhos de seguran a que caracterizam a nossa modernidade tardia1. There are many material cases that shape the frontiers between E.U. and Africa that deserve attention. I will consider some theoretical approaches to the fences that are being built in the territorial boundaries between Ceuta and Melilla¡¯s enclaves, distancing the European continent from the Moroccan territory, and thus, from Africa. This tendency to separate nation-states with walls can be observed in every continent. Despite commercial liberalization and an increasing flow of political speeches that appeal to the freedom of circulation, developed countries are also engaged in this movement of barrier proliferation that checks and controls the circulation of social agents. To better understand the concepts underlying these fences, I seek to insert them in the constellation of security apparatus that shape our late modernity. %K boundaries %K ¡°walls¡± %K immigration %K Europe %K stigma %K fronteiras %K ¡°muros¡± %K imigra o %K Europa %K estigma %U http://cea.revues.org/465
