Borders are essentially imaginary structures, but their effects are
very real. This volume explores both geopolitical and conceptual
borders through an interdisciplinary lens, bridging the disciplines
of philosophy and literature. With contributions from scholars
around the world, this collection closely examines the concepts of
race, nationality, gender, and sexuality in order to reveal the
paradoxical ambiguities inherent in these seemingly solid binary
oppositions, while critiquing structures of power that produce and
police these borders. As a political paradigm, liminality may be
embraced by marginal subjects and communities, further blurring the
boundaries between oppressive distinctions and categories.
