Abstract
The paper examines the relationship between the name and the body, focusing on two different situations: the author's experience in his naturalization process in Mexico and that of migrants passing through the country. In the first part, the author describes how his name is rewritten in new documents, reflecting a power that recognizes his existence by accessing nationality. In contrast, the second part focuses on migrants entering Mexico irregularly, who face a migration regime that destabilizes their identity. Their “moved” names, reflect their vulnerability and lack of recognition. Both situations are framed in a historical context where the dynamics of recognition and misrecognition play a crucial role in defining identity and belonging in an interconnected world.
