In the following chapters, Sturgeon examines three major processes that combine to produce the "Border Landscapes": the political production of marginal peoples and geographies, the production of national borders and resource control, and the encounter between the state and local Akha visions of the landscape under differing political regimes. My current writerly projects seek to make sense out of--bring a new sort of order to, in the reflective realm of a writer's imagination--the time of "skin, skin, and hot blood" (Morrison's description in Beloved of the indescribability of lynching) while making connections between those traumatic historical realities and the sexualized, sometimes racialized realities inevitably present in torture and often obscenely visible under repressive political regimes. Empirically, the reality of political regimes in East Asia offers mixed evidence for the economic determinism of modernisation theories. |
