CHAN-PECH, Cándido; CASTRO CASTRO, Vicente; PALOMEQUE OCHOA, Sonia  y  VALENCIA RUIZ, Margarita. Central American dry corridor: a spatial imaginary associated with migration and environmental change. Polít. globalidad. ciudad. [online]. 2023, vol.9, n.18, pp.100-113.  Epub 09-Ene-2025. ISSN 2395-8448.  https://doi.org/10.29105/pgc9.18-6.

The main intention of this article focuses on elevating the construction in the specialized literature of the Central American Dry Corridor (CSC), as an ecoclimatic, spatial imaginary where international organizations and agencies that dedicate efforts to explain mass migration from Central America have built a geographical spectrum as an imagined space of convergence to consider climate change as the main cause of Central American migration. Although in the texts found a series of discursive tensors are observed to correlate these two variables, this serves as narrative food to enrich the imaginary sense through the discussion of phenomenological implications. Under the hermeneutic retina, an analysis of the discourse was carried out, which allowed to notice the existence through the search for the semantic sense in the texts that allude under performative senses to an imaginary of the space-ecoclimatic order; Basically, the document aims to weave three central notions of the CSC as imaginary: the configurative image of a spatio-ecoclimatic imaginary, an imaginary of the future through the description of the present and an imaginary that links climate change in the region as the main initiator of human mobility.

Palabras llave : Climate Change; migration; spatial imaginary.
