Encrucijadas en la construcción del “tijuanense” Mejía Cañedo, Viviana Valenzuela Gómez, Érika López Ulloa, Luis Carlos memory identity intersubjectivity migration city memoria identidad intersubjetividad migración ciudad This article presents the results of field work carried out from January to May 2021, in the city of Tijuana, whose objective was to explore how the sense of identity is built with a city to which one has migrated. At the same time, it was observed how the uses of memory, and the sense of identity are the filters through which our actors view and position themselves in the face of a “new” migration after the arrival of the so-called “migrant caravans” consisting of people from other countries. We argue that intersubjective communication played a relevant role in the construction of the memory of migrants, as well as in the process of adaptation to the city and in the construction of a dual identity, which consists of maintaining a sense of rootedness with their place of birth and at the same time identifying with the new space that is inhabited. For this purpose, fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40-to-70-year-old men and women who migrated from states such as Nayarit, Hidalgo, Michoacán, Sinaloa - among others - to settle in this town mainly between the seventies and eighties. Among the results, it is highlighted that most of the analyzed journalistic articles include patriarchal stereotypes in their discourses. Este artículo presenta los resultados del trabajo de campo realizado de enero a mayo de 2021, en la ciudad de Tijuana, cuyo objetivo fue explorar cómo se construye el sentido de identidad con una ciudad a la que se migró. Al mismo tiempo, se observó cómo los usos de la memoria y el sentido de identidad son los filtros desde los cuales se posicionan nuestros actores ante una “nueva” migración tras la llegada de las llamadas “caravanas migrantes” compuesta por personas de otros países. Argumentamos que la comunicación intersubjetiva jugó un papel relevante en la construcción de la memoria de las personas migrantes, así como en el proceso de adaptación a la ciudad y la construcción de una identidad dual, que consiste en mantener el arraigo con el lugar de origen y al mismo tiempo identificarse con el nuevo espacio que se habita. Con este fin se aplicaron quince entrevistas semiestructuradas a hombres y mujeres de entre 40 y 70 años, quienes migraron de estados como Nayarit, Hidalgo, Michoacán, Sinaloa -entre otros- para asentarse en esta localidad entre los años setenta y ochenta, principalmente.
