Abstract

This essay responds to the idea of “living the boundary” that Stephen Clingman develops in “A Story of Identity for our Times” and The Grammar of Identity. In mythical and wisdom traditions, revolutionary tricksters are often associated with thresholds, because travel across spatial, perceptual, or political limits is what allows cultural transformation to take place. In South Africa and elsewhere, boundaries are where culture is re-made.
