Exploring Borders and Boundaries in the Humanities (1st edition)

In a 'post-everything' world, we have felt more pain than happiness in building and tampering with borders. The term 'border' has been expanded to become a ploy for grim, chauvinistic, self-flattery, and ultra-nationalist bigotry. We have also faced notorious coverage of the 'border' in the media worldwide, and its diverse forms have been extensively deployed in cinema and literature.

Centering on a wide range of literary and cinematic genres, the contributors to this volume explore and explain distinct theoretical and scholarly arguments to promote research on literary, linguistic, and media representations of the word 'border.'
