Gasparotti Nunes, Flaviana border textobooks images school geography fronteira livros didáticos imagens geografia escolar This paper presents partial results of a research that had the objective to analyze how the images presented in Geography textbooks used in Brazil and Argentina contribute to the construction of certain understanding of the concept of border. The research verified the predominance of photographic images, although also the appearance of maps and schemes –among others– but in a lower number than photographs. Among the conclusions, we point out that the photographic images displayed in brazilian and argentine textbooks of geography reinforce the construction and fixation of the idea of frontier as border, barrier or separation of sides quite associated with the state character, bureaucratic and controller of the mobility of people. Even in the didactic texts that intend to bring an understanding of the frontier in the sense of contacts and integration, the images used are access roads (roads and bridges) in which the commercial aspect is more relevant than the cultural, social and human exchanges, not associating the frontiers to the question of identities and differences.  Neste artigo tivemos como objetivo analisar de que maneira as imagens presentes nos livros didáticos de Geografia utilizados no Brasil e na Argentina contribuem para a construção de determinada(s) concepção(ões) de fronteira. Priorizamos a análise das imagens fotográficas, pois a partir de pesquisa realizada nesses materiais identificamos o predomínio destas, embora também compareçam mapas e esquemas – entre outras – porém, em número inferior às fotografias. Dentre as conclusões, podemos apontar que as imagens fotográficas presentes nos livros didáticos de Geografia brasileiros e argentinos contribuem para a construção e fixação da ideia de fronteira como limite, barreira, separação de lados, bastante associado ao caráter estatal, burocrático e controlador da mobilidade das pessoas. Mesmo nos textos didáticos que intencionam trazer uma compreensão da fronteira no sentido dos contatos e integração, as imagens utilizadas são vias de acesso (estradas e pontes) nas quais está mais presente o aspecto comercial do que de intercâmbios culturais, sociais e humanos não associando fronteira à questão das identidades e diferenças.  Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA 2019-07-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/6917 10.34096/ps.n1.6917 Punto Sur; Núm. 1 (2019): Julio-Diciembre; 144-165 Punto Sur; No 1 (2019): Julio-Diciembre; 144-165 2683-7404 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/6917/6137
