Border culture emerges through the intersection and engagement of
imagination, affinity and identity. It is evident wherever
boundaries separate or sort people and their goods, ideas or other
belongings. It is the vessel of engagement between countries and
peoples—assuming many forms, exuding a variety of expressions,
changing shapes—but border culture does not disappear once it is
developed, and it may be visualized as a thread that runs
throughout the process of globalization. Border culture is conveyed
in imaginaries and productions that are linked to borderland
identities constructed in the borderlands. These identities
underlie the enforcement of control and resistance to power that
also comprise border cultures. Canada’s borders offer an
opportunity to explore the interplay of borders and culture,
identify the fundamental currents of border culture in motion, and
establish an approach to understanding how border culture is placed
and replaced in globalization. This title is part of the Borders in
Globalization (BIG) SSHRC-funded research project. Published in
English.
