The University Network on the Latin American Integration Route (UniRila) and the Bioceanic Corridor: cultural relations between Porto Murtinho/Brasil and Carmelo Peralta/Paraguay

Abstract: Consolidation and articulation between universities open up a privileged space for possible discussions, reflections and construction of significant proposals for academic actions to enable interdisciplinary technical-scientific work. The University Network on the Latin American Integration Route (UniRila) was created in 2016, with the purpose of developing actions that support feasibility studies for the Bioceanic Corridor between Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. This paper intends to analyze the identity and cultural relationship between Porto Murtinho-Brasil and Carmelo Peralta-Paraguay with actions of UniRila perspective, emphasizing the principles and values that culture is guided by, to support a people’s cultural paradigm in their habits, beliefs, values and identities besides cultural diffusion and preservation. The research used the deductive method with a systemic scope through bibliographic and documentary surveys. Therefore, in order to better understand issues related to culture and identity processes, it is necessary to briefly note what is culture and the cultural relationships between Porto Murtinho and Carmelo Peralta as the Bioceanic Corridor is consolidated. It is inferred that the established relationship leads to the observation that the cultural intertwining will be in constant mutation or transformation as the interaction and social integration occur.

摘要：高校间的整合与协同，为开展跨学科技术科学研究的学术行动提供了可供研讨、反思并构建重要方案的优质空间。拉丁美洲一体化之路大学联盟（University Network on the Latin American Integration Route，简称UniRila）于2016年成立，旨在开展相关行动，为巴西、巴拉圭、阿根廷与智利之间的生物大洋通道（Bioceanic Corridor）的可行性研究提供支持。本文旨在依托UniRila的行动视角，分析巴西波尔图穆尔蒂纽（Porto Murtinho-Brasil）与巴拉圭卡梅尔佩拉尔塔（Carmelo Peralta-Paraguay）之间的身份认同与文化关联，着重阐释文化所遵循的原则与价值，以支撑特定人群在习俗、信仰、价值与身份认同层面的文化范式，同时兼顾文化传播与保护。本研究通过文献与档案调研，采用系统性演绎法开展研究。因此，为更好地理解与文化及身份建构进程相关的议题，有必要简要阐释文化的内涵，以及生物大洋通道整合进程中波尔图穆尔蒂纽与卡梅尔佩拉尔塔之间的文化关联。由此可推知，两地既有的关联表明，随着互动与社会整合的推进，二者的文化交融也将处于持续演变或转型的状态之中。
