{"product_id":"minding-borders-nicola-gardini-9781909662636","title":"Minding Borders: Resilient Divisions in Literature, the Body and the Academy","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoth comparative criticism and translation cross borders, yet borders that have been crossed still exist. Even a border that has been dismantled is likely to reappear in a different place, or as a less obvious set of limiting practices: migrant texts and migrant ideas, like migrant people, may not achieve full citizenship in their new locations. Of course, there is a creative aspect to borders too, as postcolonial theory in particular has emphasized. Borders are contact zones, generators of hybridity, spaces of exchange, cross-fertilization, and enrichment. For all these reasons, borders require minding - thinking about, managing, even in a sense policing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than celebrating the crossing of borders, or dreaming of their abolition, \u003cem\u003eMinding Borders\u003c\/em\u003e traces their troubling and yet generative resilience. It explores how borders define as well as exclude, protect as well as violate, and nurture some identities while negating others. The contributors range comparatively across geography, politics, cultural circulation, creativity, and the structuration of academic disciplines, hoping that the analysis of borders in one domain may illuminate their workings in another. Whatever other form a border takes it is always also a border in the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Gardini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909662631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909662636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.75d","brand":"Nicola Gardini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937404846335,"sku":"9781909662636","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ee09d15e-ca35-4d26-9708-bd05ced36613.jpg?v=1681429866","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minding-borders-nicola-gardini-9781909662636","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
