Borders

Central to several fields of knowledge, the concept of borders has enjoyed continuous attention since antiquity. The Romans, for instance, had a god named Terminus, whose role was the protection of the Empire's boundary markers. Borders circumscribe, juxtapose, and define (de-finire = to set something apart from the rest by putting borders around it); they can be transgressed, trespassed, negotiated, reestablished. From enclosures in jurisdiction and economy to warfare strategy; from the importing and exporting of goods, theoretical concepts, and artistic trends to translations of texts across languages and cultures; from narrative "omniscience" and the limits of consciousness to waves of migration; from frames in film or paintings to marginalia; from the questioning of disciplinary boundaries to the tension between center and periphery; from journeys across spatial and temporal boundaries to the blurring of the normal/abnormal and human/non-human distinctions —"borders" keep populating and nurturing the literary and artistic imagination. We welcome proposals (of 250 words or less) for papers that explore the theme of borders in its multiple inflections.

Please send your proposals to Henry Bowles (bowles.henry@gmail.com) and Elena Fratto (efratto@fas.harvard.edu) by January 15, 2016 at midnight (Eastern Time).
