LUQUETTA CEDIEL, David Jerónimo. Borders: Spaces of sociability in Santa Marta in the mid-eighteenth century in Colombia. Estud. front [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.33, pp.35-51. ISSN 2395-9134.

When a state, in this case a monarchical state, establishes fixed borders in territories without a stable political domain, the result is completely different than that of organizing such a territory. The creation of mixed societies in the north of present-day Colombia is a process whose roots are found in the implementation of the Bourbon Reforms in the mid-eighteenth century by Crown Agents. This article identifies and discusses the processes that led to the emergence of an autonomous society in this border area.

Palabras llave : border; sociability; mestizaje; cultural transformation; negotiation.
