It sets out to provide a critical counter-narrative to the 1990s globalization argument of a “borderless” world by insisting on the significant roles borders play. The essays range in subject matter from geography, history, British and American literature to painting and Reggae music and map out different conceptualisations of the border: place, line, process,  contact zones, etc. The volume’s cross-border “narrative” serves as a point of communication between the local and the global, between Europe and America, between different literary and artistic genres, thus challenging the divides of geography and literature, between “real” territorial borders and their “fictional” counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments   Notes on Contributors     Introduction: Where to Draw the Line?    Ciaran Ross     Prologue: Borders and the Moment of Bewilderment    Cornelius Crowley    Part 1: Lines of Demarcations: Geopolitical Borders and Boundaries     Introduction to Part 1    1 Union, Home Rule and Partition: Irish Borders Mapped and Remapped    Pauline Collombier-Lakeman    2 Delimiting a Utopian Space: The Borders of the Calcutta Botanic Garden in the 19th Century    Marine Bellégo    3 The Historiography of the American West: Frontier(s), Borders, Borderlands    Nathalie Massip    4 The Inner Border: Edward Hopper’s Reimagining the Frontier    Hélène Gaillard    5 Combining a Closed and Open Border in the Terrorism Era: The Example of the Canada\/US Border    Pierre-Alexandre Beylier    Part 2: Aesthetic Borders and Liminal Space     Introduction to Part 2    6 Borders and Liminal Spaces in 16th-Century Collected Poetry: A Spatial Approach to the Advent of the English Sonnet Sequence in Print    Rémi Vuillemin    7 Plotting a Line: Liminality and Border as Concept and Device in Walter Scott’s Rob Roy(1817)    Matthew Smith    8 The Insular Border as a Fluid Space of Transgression: Treasure Island’s Adventurous Aesthetics    Julie Gay    Part 3: Crossing Borders: Considerations of the Other Side     Introduction to Part 3    9 Distant Tongues: The Border Poetics of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha    Amanda Murphy    10 Ex-centrism and Intersections: Crossing the Border in Continental Drift by Russell Banks    Marine Paquereau    11 Reggae Outernational: Borders and Trans\/National Identity in Jamaican Popular Music    David Bousquet    12 Navigating the Restless “Boundaries of Migration”: Ruth Padel’s The Mara Crossingas a “Matter-Realist” Exploration of the Border between the Human and the Nonhuman    Maria Tang     Index of Names","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210789216599,"sku":"9789004417878","price":110.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reading-s-across-borders-studies-in-anglophone-borders-criticism-9789004417878","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
