The political border always coincides with other kinds 36 At the threshold of security: a theory of international borders of borders, be they cultural, economic, linguistic, historical and so on. Borders are always experienced differently by different social classes, as Dalby expresses: ‘The crucial point, however, is that boundaries play very different roles for people and for images, commodities and financial flows, dependent on which larger framework is invoked as the overarching spatial architectural of politics’ (1999: 135).
The border here involves the confines of the confidential relationship within which the shared information is kept. A British General said the shrine in Fallujah, Iraq is protected by ‘an invisible shield’. In the case of natural physical borders we need to ask about consequences rather than intentions. However, intention may be considered when humans fail to take altering action such as building a bridge or moving a mountain. There are of course kinds of light. Sun screens and expensive dark glasses promise to let in one kind of light and not another.
Where border crossings are permitted we may ask if they are uni- or bi-directional. Mann, Nolan and Wellman’s (2000) work in trying to take pictures of surveillance agents (in the tradition of Garfinkle’s [1967] breaching experiments) illustrates the one-way nature of much surveillance and the question of how, and by whom, a social border is created. A related factor is whether the transition across borders is sudden or gradual. The border change may be immediate and discontinuous, as with the edge of a cliff or a town wall.
