description In this paper, we review various aspects that characterize migrations and human displacement today. We see how, in different latitudes, scenarios of multiple and complex violence are repeated. Based on fieldwork developed in Tijuana, on the border of Mexico with the United States, we reflect on the role of law and security in shaping those violent scenarios. In this way, we propose to question the ambiguity of the law and security discourses, trying to contribute to a vision in which the law is in conformity with a culture of feelings favorable to the human and social diverse coexistence.

En este artículo revisamos diversos aspectos que caracterizan a las migraciones y los desplazamientos humanos en la actualidad. Vemos cómo en diversas latitudes se repiten escenarios de violencias múltiples y complejas, que afectan a las personas y a los países. Con base en el trabajo de campo desarrollado en Tijuana, en la frontera de México con Estados Unidos, reflexionamos sobre el papel de la ley y la seguridad en la conformación de esos escenarios violentos. Así, nos proponemos cuestionar la ambigüedad de la ley y de los discursos de seguridad, intentando aportar a una visión en la que el derecho pueda coexistir con una cultura de sentimientos favorables a la convivencia humana y social diversa.

Neste artigo, revisaremos vários aspectos que caracterizam as migrações atuais.Veremos como, em diferentes latitudes, se repetem cenários de violência múltipla e complexa que afetam pessoas e países. Graças a um trabalho de campo desenvolvido em Tijuana, na fronteira do México com os Estados Unidos, o autor reflete sobre o papel do direito e da segurança na formação desses cenários violentos. Deste modo, o trabalho propõe questionar a ambigüidade da lei e os discursos de segurança, tentando contribuir para uma visão onde a lei possa coexistir com uma cultura de sentimentos favoráveis à convivência humana e social diversa.
