Abstract
The events and processes of the recent decades drive us to awake from the hypnotic illusion of the ‘end of history’. The ‘return of history’ is not only a necessary step that has to be taken, but it is ontologically inevitable. Blinded by the mobile army of metaphors, metonyms and anthropomorphisms, we need to see that the processes of the 21st century are no different from the old politics which were recorded in history, thus it is unavoidable to think within the ‘dialectics of Old and New’. Globalization, relativization of values, removal of borders and the re-narration of borders in previously unseen areas lead us to an existential zero point. Borders play significant self-determining and self-definition role in our life and society, thus their relocation, reorientation and blurring of their meaning is a question that has to be analysed and closely watched. Together with the narration of borders, the narration of security plays major role. Migration and the question of open, permeable borders have become one of the most important security narrations of our everyday life.
Highlights
Globalization, one-and-for-all, has shifted history and modernity into its ‘liquid phase’
History and historiography can be characterized with obsession of borders because of their strict and impenetrable nature, which was mainly characteristic after the Second World War or because of removal of borders and supporting of free movement of people, goods and capital
This plan tests the strength of borders and the ability to protect them, later new populations are moved into the continent in large numbers which leads into parallel societies and parallel administrations within the continent (Orbán Viktor – bejegyzések, Facebook, 2017)
Summary
Globalization, one-and-for-all, has shifted history and modernity into its ‘liquid phase’. With deep-penetrating economic opening, the unbounded post-Cold War constellation launched a powerful wave of deconstruction on borders and border frames far surpassing economic domains, including binary categories and ‘spaces’ of life which were previously seen untouchable and unquestionable. This deconstruction has emerged with capacity to disintegrate the traditional society, order and it has pushed us into a new world constellation, where the known boundaries are challenged and at the same time, new so far unknown boundaries, even cultural ones, are on rise. On the other side we have been experiencing the wish to reconstruct the dismantled structures and to form fundamentally new binary categories, oppositions and border frames
