Borders
20-22 de noviembre de 2019
Cultural, geographical, political, social, emotional, linguistic, and economic borders, among others, define and determine different aspects of our identities, cultures, and social lives along with literatures and arts. In a world charmed by globalization, interdisciplinary studies in humanities and social sciences has thrown further lights on the definitions, conceptualizations, roles and functions of borders. They are understood not only in terms of limits, restrictions, and divisions but also in terms of opportunities, possibilities, and reconstructions. The study of borders from antiquity to modern times raises such questions as "What forms borders?", "Who produces borders?", "How are borders established?", "Where are borders constructed?", "Why are borders built", and "How is it possible to cross borders?"
This symposium aims at exploring and providing insights into the construction, functions, and structures of borders in different areas from multidisciplinary perspectives.
