Abstract

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has witnessed another phase in the proliferation of borders. The discussion about the complex roles of edges, borders, and boundaries has become more relevant than ever. This situation calls us to reconceptualize the processes, discourses, practices and symbols through which the power to create borders functions. Borders, of course, are never static, but complex products on multiple levels. Even more so if we think about how in the posthumanist era, the anthropogenic approach [bordering] has reached its limits (Konrad 2021), as we are faced with multiple environmental and migration crises both locally and transnationally. Taking into account the importance of border processes in the 21st century, this issue of post(s) highlights the new border epistemologies. Desbordes/Undoing Borders focuses on creative ways to undo the border. This issue provides a space for exploratory investigations and approaches to borders, border zones and permeable edges. post(s) 7 focuses on interactions between the material and immaterial manifestations that occur at borders and the various media possibilities that exist to study them.
