| Sumario: | This text analyzes how debates and negotiations about the meanings of femininities produce geopolitical borders in Tijuana, Mexico. In order to do it, this study is based on discourse analysis about abortion, sexuality and reproduction in local newspapers during the social movements in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century. It emphasizes that women’s bodies are responsible of national honor; therefore, they are controlled and regulated in every boundary. In the first place, the conservative political system is explained; afterwards, abortion cases in Tijuana and the political conflicts caused in both sides of the border (Tijuana-San Diego) are presented. Finally, it concludes that political struggles related to women’s bodies or feminized bodies demarcate classifications and social stratifications. |
