"...borders and the connecting of inside and outside, but it does so in
a frame that requires renegotiation and reciprocity, and in a context
that transcends containment."
David Slater, 1997.
The concept of borders has captured the geographical imagination for
centuries. Questions of territory and cartographic innovation are
testament to this. Borders, and more critically their breakdown and
redefinition, continue to permeate contemporary discourses in
geographical enquiry. This 22nd edition of Chimera, entitled "Crossing
Borders", seeks to celebrate the creation of new geographies that
transcend boundaries with other disciplines, and which invite us to
challenge and rethink the multiplicity of borders that geography beckons
us to negotiate. While geographical discourses around European
enlargement, migratory flows and the changing shape of coastlines
display an overt concern with physical landscape boundaries and the
changing perception of nation states, their context is paradoxically a
global one in which the significance of borders has been greatly reduced
because we are better equipped than ever before to transcend them.
Cultural, economic and political borders, although ubiquitous, are being
constantly subjected to redefinition. Imaginary borders, which we
perceive and adhere to even though they do not exist, beg the question -
'Does everything have a border?' In aiming to compile what we hope will
be a reflection of the dynamism and vibrancy that characterises
geography today, Chimera's editorial committee invites you to break for
the border in our call for papers which reflect this exciting theme.
