Organized around six key ideasecology, imaginary, in/visibility, palimpsest, sovereignty and waitingthe 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.
