Abstract

Feminist geographers have taken a distinctive approach to conceptualizing borders, building on traditions of feminist geographic inquiry that prioritize situated knowledges, embodied practices, intimate scales, and understanding concepts like the border as ways of thinking about the world, not just taken-for-granted sites or spaces. In this chapter, I outline five distinctive ways that feminist geographers have approached the border, and provide examples of the creative ways that contemporary feminist geographers are building on the lineages of feminist thinking. I describe borders as: (1) where we go: the border as a site or space; (2) what we do: the border as a practice or performance; (3) who we are: the border as embodied or affective; (4) what we say: the border as a narrative; and (5) what we think: the border as knowledge production. Taken together, these approaches demonstrate the range and variety of contemporary feminist geographical thinking about borders.
