Combining critical reflections from scholars around the globe as
well as experiential records from some of the world's most
tenacious explorers, this book interrogates the concept of the
'frontier' as a realm of transformation, exploration and adventure.
We discover the affective power of social, physical, spiritual and
political frontiers in shaping humanity's abilities to change and
become. We collectively unpack the enduring conceptualization of
the frontier as a site of nation-state identity formation, violent
colonization, masculine prowess and the triumph of progress. In its
place, this book charts a more complex and subtle emotional
geography amidst an array of frontiers: the expanding human psyche
that is induced under free-diving narcosis and tales of survival on
one of the most technically difficult mountains in the world, 'The
Ogre'. Chapters consider solitude in the Sahara, near-death
experiences in Tibetan Buddhism, the aftermath of a volcanic
eruption in Bali, the Spanish Imaginary, snatched moments of sexual
curiosity, and many more. This book will be of upmost importance to
researchers working on theories of affect, the Anthropocene,
frontier theory and human geography. It will be vital supplementary
reading for undergraduates and postgraduates on courses such as
Heritage Studies, Human and Cultural Geography, Anthropology,
Tourism Studies and History.
