Political borders do not exist in nature; they are always the product of cartographic and historical narratives. In the modern period mountain ranges – and their glaciers – have often been used as national borders, since they were thought to be fixed and stable. But the ice is now melting, and so are boundary lines.
The book starts from the project Italian Limes (2014–2016) by Studio Folder. It charts the architecture of Alpine borders alongside a broader history of boundary making, and examines the nexus of nationalism, cartography, and climate from a unique perspective. Including essays, maps and original documents from military archives, A Moving Border shows how global warming is laying bare the fictions on which nation states are built.
A Moving Border includes a foreword by Bruno Latour, and essays by Stuart Elden, Mia Fuller, Francesca Hughes, and Wu Ming 1.
