Productive Flooding: A Degrowth of the Mexico-United States Border
In a speculative text envisioning ambiguous territorial boundaries between Mexico and the United States, César López introduces the concept of subtraction as a strategy for destabilization. This narrative supports itself in the long span that shaped the territory and in the cultures that developed around it. Through a historical and political analysis of the borderlands, López reframes the former ecological traces of the river as proactive degrowth. In doing this, it questions political boundaries and engages the ambiguities of binational territories.
