What are the institutional arrangements and organizational forms of human life that create the effect of frontiers? Frontiers are paradoxically geographical zones that imaginatively and materially embody social, economic, and political liminality while otherwise generating immense levels of state and imperial anxiety. Frontiers — the frontier effect — must be produced by ideas, by bodies, by material infrastructures, and by new configurations of human and non-human relations; and yet frontiers are essential spaces of production, making livelihoods and (in)securities possible.
From Stephen Cory, Professor in the Departments of History and Philosophy/Comparative Religion, Cleveland State University:
I am organizing a panel on the pre-modern Islamic Maghrib for the 2023 Middle East Studies Association (MESA) annual meeting. The conference will be held on November 2-5, 2023, in Montréal, Québec, Canada. 300-400 word abstracts for the paper proposals will need to be submitted on the MESA website by February 16, 2023. However, since I have to submit a panel proposal, I will need to know who is on the panel and what they plan to talk about by February 4.
