Borders of desire takes a novel approach to the study of borders:
rather than seeing them only as obstacles to the fulfillment of
human desires, this collection focuses on how borders can also be
productive of desire. Based on long-term ethnographic engagement
with sites along the eastern borders of Europe, particularly in the
Baltics and the Balkans, the studies in this volume illuminate how
gendered and sexualized desires are generated by the existence of
borders and how they are imagined. As the chapters show, borders
can create new desires expressed as aspirations, resentments, and
actions including physical movements across borders for pleasure or
work, or collective enactments of political ideals or resistance.
The collection also shows how the persistent east/west symbolic
border continues to act as a source of these desires in European
political and social life. -- .
