Sumario:Think, write, sing, live between languages. Produce knowledge from borderline zones, from places and memories and multiple wisdoms. This article inquires into the senses that begin to appear in a set of artistic exercises (literary, visual, and musical) that thrive around what has been called wild portuñol. To do so, after describing what portuñol is, this article shows the recurrence of an artistic sign, which derives in the production of knowledge. It also proposes that such artistic exercises, considered globally and from the geo-cultural context from which they arise, are a fruitful contribution to understand a variety of social, cultural, economic, and political features of our societies.
