IN-BETWEEN SPACES

Description

*In-Between Spaces: Culture and Territoriality in Literature, Art and Cinema* is a collection of sixteen essays exploring visible and invisible borders across multiple dimensions. The volume investigates territorial discourses, examining how spatial boundaries operate as sites of geopolitical, historical, and cultural contestations. Through an interdisciplinary approach spanning literature, art, and film, the essays address central themes such as identity, feminism, postcolonialism, partition, and diaspora.

The collection analyzes the normalization of inclusion and exclusion policies, considering how border consciousness impacts refugees, displaced migrants, and marginalized communities. Individual chapters probe diverse topics, including the psychological and geographical ramifications of partition, humanitarian crises from ethnic conflicts, digital archiving of cultural memory, nomadic spaces, and power structures involving patriarchy and hegemony. Furthermore, the book evaluates how geopolitical divisions affect gender equity, feminist epistemologies, and minority experiences. By engaging with cultural texts ranging from novels and paintings to cinematic works, the volume provides an overview of border issues and the complex realities of modern territoriality.
