The edges of countries have become central to their identity. Everywhere, tension is spiking in these liminal and threshold spaces that cut to the core of how we think about nationalism, liberal ideals, and global volatility. Where you stand on borders has become a heartland matter of identity. The movement of people now determines the fate of countries and continents; the stateless inflect states. This is nothing new, of course. For most of human history, wars were an affair of borders- where one tribe ended, and the next began. The dissolving of borders meant the end of old empires, and the birth of new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Borders are not only cartographic conventions and the subject of surveyors; they limn what the literary theorist Guy Davenport has called the \u2018Geography of the Imagination.\u2019 Hadrian\u2019s Wall, seamed into the English countryside, not only marked the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire. It suggested the outer limit of the Roman imagination. Inside Athens, the agora, the Parthenon, and Socrates asking all the right questions. Outside, barbarians massing and threatening to turn a golden age blood red. America at its most boundless didn\u2019t know where it ended, and that\u2019s how it began to imagine what it might become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s chapter is a demarcation of borders, a walk-around of where Israel begins and ends. This is the beginning of particularity and specificity, where the Land of Israel becomes a place rather than an act of imagination. There is a thrill to this banality. For a people wandering in undifferentiated space for generations, the horizon blank with sand, what a joy to be told one\u2019s place in the world, the line between yours and not-yours marked clearly. Of course, Israel\u2019s boundaries remain contested, a bit that proves the point; if you want to know where someone stands, see the line they draw.
