Simulacrum

Description

Tijdschrift voor Kunst en Cultuur, verzorgd door studenten Kunstgeschiedenis en Algemene Cultuurwetenschappen van de Universiteit van Amsterdam met als doel een kennismaking en uitwisseling van onderzoeksresultaten, artikelen en vakliteratuur tot stand te brengen. - Theme: Borders are deeply rooted entities. Even when borders apply to conflict elsewhere, they can affect us personally and concern us on a daily basis. Boundaries are linked to our formation of identity, contain an everyday complexity, and are anything but superficial - a border can be unfolded thoroughly. Borders appear in different forms in this issue: the authors approach the theme in a theoretical way, or, instead, from a very personal experience. Within different worlds, we question them from a distance or, on the contrary, from the inside. We want to understand what a border does, where it lies and how it came to be.
