Expanding on her previous work on gender and Orientalism, Inge Boer takes us into uncertain territories of fashion and art, tourism and travel, skilfully engaging the ambivalence of boundaries, as both protecting and confining, as bringing distinction while existing by virtue of their ability to be transgressed. In her close readings of that boundaries as desert, as frame, as home (or lack of it), Boer shows that boundaries are spaces within, through, and in the name of which negotiations take place. They are not lines but spaces ; neither fixed nor empty but flexible and inhabited. With the publication of this book, Boer's intellectual legacy stretches beyond her untimely passing. The writings that she left behind can be said to have inaugurated the future of her work, presented in the latter part by several of Boer's intellectual companions. In their original essays, the contributors elaborate on Boer's theme of boundaries as spaces where opposition yields to negotiation. Committed to the artefact as cultural stimulant, as the embodiment of thought, their analyses span a multitude of artefacts and media, ranging from literature to photography, to art installation and presentation, to film and song. Fanning out from Boer 's central focus - Orientalism - to other places of contestation, boundaries are shown to mediate the relationship between self and other ; they are, ultimately, spaces of encounter. 410 0$aGenus--gender in modern culture ;$v7. 606 $aCulture 606 $aEthnic barriers 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aGender identity 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEthnic barriers. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aGender identity. 676 $a306 700 $aBoer$b Inge E$0698732 701 $aBal$b Mieke$f1946-$0131246 701 $aEekelen$b Bregje van$01753170 701 $aSpyer$b Patricia$f1957-$01074822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811390403321 996 $aUncertain territories$94188855 997 $aUNINA
