"Frontiers considers limits, edges, borders and margins of all kinds
as the sites for declarations, occasions for conversation, arguments,
debates, recounting and reflection. Our book suggests that you
consider the frontier as the skin of our time and our world, and we
invite you to get under the skin of contemporary experience in order
to generate a series of crucial (and frequently unsettling) narrative
and analytical possibilities.
For us, the frontier is a threshold waiting to be crossed, a space
rife with the seductive aura of transgression. We are not talking
only of actual, physical borders (though of course we are interested
in literal and political borders) that are usually the residues of
war, but also of the borders between different temporal registers,
between languages, between different modes of action, between
different bodies of thought and conviction, between the exception and
the rule. Looked at this way, a border is more than a constellation
of fixed markers circumscribing a domain.
We have always viewed the Sarai Reader as hospitable to new and
unprecedented ideas, as a space of refuge where wayward reflections
can meet half-forgotten agendas. We hope our text this year sets the
stage for a productive encounter with the demand for an account of
the boundaries, parameters and verges of our times."
