Borderlands and liminal subjects
transgressing the limits in philosophy and literature
Edited by
Jessica Elbert Decker , Dylan Winchock
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 maybe embraced by marginal subjects and communities, further blurring the boundaries between oppressive distinctions and categories.
