Les frontières, lignes conventionnelles marquant les limites politiques d'un territoire, fonctionnent de plus en plus comme des dispositifs réticulaires. Pourtant, on assiste à une multiplication d'artefacts matériels sur ces espaces, dont le sens est complexe. On cherche à comprendre ici à la fois la fermeture des paysages de frontière par les murs et la multiplication d'oeuvres d'art sur et autour de ces lignes symboliques. L'illustration par l'étude de la scène artistique et paysagère États-Unis/Mexique permet de mettre en évidence les enjeux du « tournant visuel » théorique que cet article explore.

In a globalised world, borders are commonly said to be loosing their 'fencing' function & allowing more flexibility of all kinds. This process can either be viewed as the cause or the consequence of the development of all kinds of circulations (goods, capitals, ideas, people). A closer analysis reveals that this phenomenon is commonly not as new as it appears, since borders have seldom been really impermeable. In Latin America, the historical process of border design over a very sparsely populated territory confirms this trend & a closer analysis of the southern Andes context reveals indeed that the closing up of international boundaries is quite recent. This paradoxical historical data helps explain both the current geopolitical map of the region (which is far more complex than the juxtaposition of inter-state conflictive relations) & the status of differentiated mobility control in the evolution of borderlands.
