Going beyond a discussion of political architecture, Walled Life
investigates the mediation of material and imagined border walls
through cinema and art practices. The book reads political walls as
more than physical obstruction, instead treating the wall as an
affective screen, capable of negotiating the messy feelings,
personal conflicts, and haunting legacies that make up "walled
life" as an evolving signpost in the current global border regime.
By exploring the wall as an emotional and visceral presence, the
book shows that if we read political walls as forms of affective
media, they become legible not simply as shields, impositions, or
monuments, but as projective surfaces that negotiate the
interaction of psychological barriers with political structures
through cinema, art, and, of course, the wall itself. Drawing on
the Berlin Wall, the West Bank Separation barrier, and the
U.S.-Mexico border, Walled Life discovers each wall through the
films and artworks it has inspired, examining a wide array of
graffiti, murals, art installations, movies, photography, and
paintings. Remediating the silent barriers, we erect between, and
often within ourselves, these interventions tell us about the
political fantasies and traumatic histories that undergird the
politics of walls as they rework the affective settings of
political boundaries.
