Liminal Space/Espacio Liminal

I live in two countries, which entail at least two dominant forms of conceiving organized society. These two countries entail a multiplicity of societies, cultures and identities on them, that do not remain contained but communicate with each other and with other worlds. I have discovered that I do not live in two worlds, but in a multiplicity of liminal spaces from where I can observe how fragile and futile it seems the dominant construction and policing of borders and difference.

At Time I have Happy Ideas



At times I have happy ideas,
Ideas suddenly happy, in among ideas
And the words in which they naturally shake free

After writing, I read....
what made me write that?
where have I been to find that?
where did that come to me from?
it is better than me....
shall we have been, in the world, at the most, pen
and ink
whith which somebody writes properly what we here jot?



Alvaro de Campos (Fernando Pessoa) 1934

About Me

My photo
Antonieta
My name is Antonieta Mercado. I am a professor at the University of San Diego Communication Studies Department, where I teach classes on Media and Conflict, communication and social justice, Introduction to Communication, International Media, and Media and Social Movements. I am interested in theorizing communal forms of civic participation and contemporary democratic practices. I study immigration, citizenship, identity and civic participation among Indigenous Mexicans in the United States and Mexico. Mexican people encompass a big diversity, and I study that, with the awareness that a national arrangement does not necessarily determine a culture.
