Description: Boundaries borders and margins are related concepts and realities and each of these can be conceptualized and organized in closed or open ways with degrees of closure or openness. The logics of stasis and closure as well as cults of exclusivist and exclusionary sovereignty are reflected and embodied in the closed xenophobic conceptualization and organization of boundaries borders and margins. But an open conceptualization of the borderlands where mixing and hybridity take place at a rapid even dizzying pace gives rise to Creolization at the threshold of sovereignties which can also be imagined. At present our border zones are spaces of anxiety - ridden security arrangements violence and death. The existing politics of boundary maintenance is wedded to a cult of sovereignty at various levels which produces bare lives bodies and lands. We need the new art of border - crossing to be defined by the notion of camaraderie and shared sovereignties and non - sovereignties. Border zones can also be zones of meetings communication transcendence and festive celebration of the limits of our identities. Thus we need a new art and politics of boundary transmutation transformation and transcendence in the broadest possible sense that entails the production of spatial scalar somatic cognitive affective and spiritual transitions.
