Summary:

"Borders are specific sites but they are not static, being constantly enacted and reproduced. They often have a physical presence but their significance stretches far beyond any geographical locale and into the social, political, and cultural lives of those both near and far from the border itself. Oxford Intersections: Borders is a scholarly publishing platform that spans the humanities, social sciences, and law, affording novel insights into borders and bordering practices. It is a ground-breaking corpus for understanding the fundamental role of spatial division and by extension place making and place attachment in the human condition that enhances our ability to tackle contemporary challenges through informed analysis, collaboration, understanding, and decision-making.Throughout history and especially today, societies utilize borders as technologies of surveillance and security to control flows of resources, goods, labour, and information. As articles in this online platform reveal, any number of pressing contemporary challenges may be readily approached through the varied theoretical and cultural perspectives of ‘border scholarship’. Oxford Intersections: Borders not only reflects this growing, dynamic field but also forges new pathways to the understanding of what has been, what is, and what will be a very bordered world"-- Home page
