Klappentext For decades! France has been considered one of the world's first and most fully formed nation-states--providing a global model of state-centered modernity. Events in recent years! however! such as the long-term presence of France's North African population! the growth of Islam as France's second-largest religion! the development of anti-centrist regional movements! and growing debates about French sexual and social identities have endowed the theme of borders with a special resonance in French studies. This exciting interdisciplinary collection presents a series of perspectives on French border identities in the context of globalization! locating "border" situations in a variety of contexts--geographical! social! cultural! and sexual--that challenge preconceptions about the centrality of the nation-state as the foundation of contemporary French identity. Zusammenfassung Through a discussion of border identities! this book presents a balance-sheet of key developments in modern French society and culture in the context of globalization. It seeks to re-define and re-consider the notion of the border in respect of the identification of a variety of visible and invisible 'border' situations.
