This article develops a theoretical approach to the study of identity narratives from the concept of the bordering process. The first section describes the theoretical concepts that sustain the proposal, in particular, the concept of border as a mediating artifact, the theoretical concept of the bordering process as a social practice, and finally, identity narratives and the dialogical perspective of the self. The second section analyzes the proposals and limitations of some studies on identity narratives in international borderlands. In the same section, we develop our theoretical proposal for studying border identity narratives, which attempts to overcome some limitations of previous studies and respond to the debate on the role of others in the construction of the self. We conclude that the inclusion of the border as a semiotic artifact and the bordering process in the construction of the self provide a new perspective of identity narratives as border narratives for the study of border experiences throughout human development.

本文从边界过程的概念发展了一种研究身份叙事的理论方法。第一部分描述了支持该提议的理论概念，特别是作为中介人工制品的边界概念、作为社会实践的边界过程的理论概念，最后是身份叙事和自我的对话视角。第二部分分析了一些关于国际边疆身份叙事研究的建议和局限性。在同一部分，我们提出了研究边界身份叙事的理论建议，试图克服先前研究的一些局限性，并回应关于他人在自我构建中的作用的争论。
