Promoting Communication for Social Change
|
2009/4 - Reimagining Borders |
 |
 |
|
| Today's many borders - physical and psychological, political and social, cultural and ideological - are no longer fixed or impermeable. Overcoming them is mainly about overcoming the socially constructed limitations of belonging to a certain place and going beyond what is apparently sure and secure. Borderlands are places of negotiation that need communication if there is to be safe passage. |
