Few concepts are as central to understanding the modern world as
borders, and the now-thriving field of border studies has already
produced a substantial literature analyzing their legal,
ideological, geographical, and historical aspects. Such studies
have hardly exhausted the subject's conceptual fertility, however,
as this pioneering collection on the aesthetics of borders
demonstrates. Organized around six key ideas-ecology, imaginary,
in/visibility, palimpsest, sovereignty and waiting-the interlocking
essays collected here provide theoretical starting points for an
aesthetic understanding of borders, developed in detail through
interdisciplinary analyses of literature, audio-visual
borderscapes, historical and contemporary ecologies, political
culture, and migration.
