Symbols and Voices Along the Tijuana-San Diego Border

Symbols and voices produce perceptions of the Tijuana-San Diego border. In this study, I look at the Tijuana zebra as a symbol of otherness, anxiety, and a physical representation of Tijuana’s history. Through Bakhtin’s five types of compositional-stylistics, I divide the artistic system into writer, text, and reader to deconstruct its intent and simulacrum. Furthermore, I look at Anzaldua’s Borderlands for it benefits and constraints as a border narrative. I compare Borderlands to the personal stories of two Tijuanan sex workers as a way to analyze forms of storytelling. Through this oral history, I am able to not only look at pauses, body language, and tone, but also find commonalities between ordinary and poetic language.
