Whereas some conceptualizations of the f rontier have largely focused on aspects of territoriality, we wish to engag e with the more transient aspects of spatiality. Frontiers are often regard ed as the edges of territorial control: of people, land and resources. Such an approach frequently associates with the position of encroaching states, entrepreneurs or settlers, in which “frontiers [literally] take place” (Ra smussen and Lund 2018: 388). It has been noted, however, that the agency of local communities at the frontier is often neglected in this perspective. \n\nIn this panel, we wish to engage with emic points of view in regard to frontiers and frontier space: Are there local notions of the dichotomy betw een the ‘centre’ and “out-of the-way places” (Tsing 1993)? How do people at the ‘periphery’ negotiate ‘remoteness’? How are ‘marginal’ realms composed of their own inner and outer edges? And how is frontier space “anchored in the imaginative” (Cons and Eilenberg 2019: 12), generating notions of dist algia and experiences of liminality? \n\nBased on Victor Turner’s rendering of liminality, we regard frontier space as “in-and-out” of linear territor y. Space at frontiers constitutes realms of the “in-between” filled by visi onary ideas of (local or international) development, notions of alternative realities or a utopian longing. This might include the spatial imageries o f local cosmologies as much as the mental ‘mapping’ of novel realms such as airspace, waterways and ‘nature’ more generally. \n\nWe invite papers that engage with frontier spatiality across all parts of Southeast Asia. The pa nel welcomes contributions from different disciplines, encouraging both eth nographic case studies and conceptual interpretations of the frontier as a symbolic sphere.
