The Diagrammatics of Borderscapes.

Year: 2026

Borderscapes scholarship has reframed borders as non-linear, relational, and processual formations. Yet persistent problems of comparability and methodological vagueness remain. This project addresses that gap by proposing diagrammatics as an artistic, practice-based method for engaging borderscapes as relational and processual formations without presuming fixed or totalising framings.

Diagrammatics is approached in this project as an ethico-aesthetic practice through which the heterogeneous dimensions of borderscapes are brought into relation and rendered comparable across encounters, understood as social relations unfolding across space and time.
.

Encounters are mapped in the Deleuzian–Guattarian sense rather than as cartographic tracings along three relational axes: (x) affective, (y) corporeal, and (z) nomadic.
