Abstract

This project analyses the field of current geographic political partitions offering an interdisciplinary evaluation able to describe the space in the borders as ‘narrative beginning’, as ‘contact infrastructure’ that crosses territories where inhabitants are neither citizens nor refugees but only ‘border people’. At the end, cognitive horizons able to breach the Wall, going beyond the political-territorial divisions which have always existed in a world which is a sort of more or less fortified bulwark able to suggest ‘border worlds’ that are ‘city’, ‘border land’. We observe a porous border with a rhizomatic trend that reformulates a synergistic relationship between the individual and the territory in an antinomic game of actions and reactions. Appears an idea of multiplicity in which the ‘rhizome-like’ structure becomes decentralized configurations where each part can be connected to another without go through specific points, as the infrastructure network or even the virtual system of global contacts. So, the space in the borders results in a new map of the delocalized space that increasingly requires of a design thinking that, on the basis of critiques of data, variables and statistics, sometimes becomes ‘hard’ and sometimes ‘elastic’, sometimes ‘insurmountable’ and sometimes ‘flexible’ and that finds an answer in the connivance between opposites and in the territorial synergy.

Highlights

This research suggests a compositional approach to be implemented rejecting the claim of a scientific rigor in favors of a blurred thought or a polyvalent logic, a logic in which each proposition can be attributed a degree of truth

The border is spatiality in which the intimacy of difference allows for a new form of cosmopolitanism, in which interaction can be a source of renewal and revitalization

Summary

Introduction

This research suggests a compositional approach to be implemented rejecting the claim of a scientific rigor in favors of a blurred thought or a polyvalent logic, a logic in which each proposition can be attributed a degree of truth. The areal image that comes from it on one hand the empty land devoted only to the control and the armed forces while on the other the chaos, the multitude of people waiting, suspended in a state of permanent temporariness and starting from the simmelian assumption that allows us to conceive space for the way in which it influences social relations, the reality of the border, in its spatial dimension, proves to be the explanatory material of the present time which can be defined as the age of walls.
