Esta colecci???n de ensayos participa en el trabajo de revsi???n de los imaginarios de las Am???ricas que se lleva a cabo desde hace unas d???cadas. Asistimos a una despolarizaci???n de la historia econ???mica, pol???tica y cultural, manifiesta en una marcada tendencia a "cruzar" fronteras imaginarias e institucionales entre el Norte y el Sur, lenguas, historias, grupos ???tnicas, disciplinas. Al mismo tiempo, constatamos en las Am???ricas y en el mundo, el refuerzo y la multiplicaci???n de fronteras visibles e invisibles. En este contexto parad???jico, los "cruces" cumplen la importante funci???n de des-construir los antagonismos y la bipolaridad que estructuran las visiones de las Am???ricas, para que podamos pensarlas como estructura transcultural de red. El "cruzar", que proponemos como figura y l???mite de nuestro enfoque compartido, pretende destacar las din???micas a la vez contradictorias y prometedoras en las relaciones interamericanas. La met???fora del cruce evoca el proceso de traslaci???n entre polos, las inversiones qui???smicas m???s que dicot???micas; orienta la mirada y la atenci???n hacia las nuevas configuraciones y pr???cticas socio-culturales que se gestan a pesar y en contra de las fronteras. Con ella queremos mantener a la vista la trampa de la armonizaci???n e idealizaci???n de la diferencia que acecha a todo investigador de las Am???ricas. ~ This collection of essays participates in the revision of the imaginaries of the Americas that has been carried out for several decades. We are witnessing a depolarization of economic, political and cultural history, manifested in a marked tendency to 'cross' imaginary and institutional borders between North and South, languages, histories, ethnic groups, disciplines. At the same time, we see in the Americas and in the world, the reinforcement and growth of visible and invisible borders. In this paradoxical context, the 'crossings' fulfill the important function of deconstructing the antagonisms and bipolarity that structure the visions of the Americas so that we can think of them as a transcultural network structure. The 'crossing', which we propose as a figure and limit to our shared approach, it aims to highlight the dynamics that are both contradictory and promising in inter-American relations. The crossing metaphor evokes the transfer process between poles, chiasmic rather than dichotomous inversions; directs the gaze and attention towards the new socio-cultural configurations and practices that are being developed despite and against borders. With it we want to make visible the trap of harmonization and idealization of difference that haunts every researcher in the Americas.
