Аннотация: Beginning in the s, in response to an unprecedented surge of migrants from México and Central America, the United States has militarized its southern border and made it far more dangerous for those who try to cross it without documents.More than , individuals have died and hundreds of thousands more bear the scars of their passage as they suffer detention, deportation, or life as an "illegal alien" in the United States.National ideologies use citizenship to equate liberty with freedom of movement and to regulate the mobility of noncitizens based on country of origin, race, class, and gender (Kotef ).On the U.S.-México border, liberty becomes a bodily experience.Freedom of movement or the lack thereof privileges some and stigmatizes others.In all too many cases, that stigma serves as a death warrant.us, studying the border as embodied experience gives us intimate and profoundly human insights into the political, economic, and cultural dynamics of undocumented immigration and its relationship to transnational processes.Using the body as the site of analysis humanizes current political and policy debates about immigration and draws attention to the most basic human costs of calls for even greater militarization of the U.S.-México line.To that end, a group of archaeologists and cultural and biological anthropologists met for four days in March to take part in an advanced seminar entitled " e Border and Its Bodies: e Corporeality of Risk Along the U.S.-México Line."Cosponsored by the Amerind Foundation and the University of Arizona Southwest Center, the seminar explored how risk becomes embodied in the lives-and deaths-of e Border and Its Bodies e Embodiment of Risk Along the U.S.-México Line
