Borders / Debordering: Topologies, Praxes, Hospitableness engages
from interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives some of the
most important issues of the present, which lay at the intersection
of physical, epistemological, spiritual, and existential borders.
The book addresses a variety of topics connected with the role of
the body at the threshold between subjective identities and
intersubjective spaces that are drawn in ontology, epistemology and
ethics, as well as with borders inscribed in intersubjective,
social, and political spaces (such as gender/sexuality/race,
human/animal/nature/technology divisions). The book is divided in
three sections, covering various phenomena of borders and their
possible debordering. The first section offers insights into
bordering topologies, from reflections on the U.S. border to the
development of the concept of the "border" in ancient China. The
second section is dedicated to practices as well as intellectual
ontologies with practical implications bound up with borders in
different cultural and social spheres - from Buddhist nationalism
in Sri Lanka and Myanmar to contemporary photography with its
implications for political systems and reflections on human/animal
border. The third section covers reflections on hospitality that
relate to migration issues, emerging material ethics, and aerial
hospitableness.
