 strong>Abstract</strong>: When borders are constructed\, they take on lives
  of their own. Borders change the social terrains and have deep impact on t
 he social imaginaries and social relations even after they fall. The symbol
 ic meaning of borders is greater than their physical presence. Borders prod
 uce new subjectivities\, that deprive us the capacity to imagine a differen
 t form of organizing humanity and the earth\, a world without borders. This
  talk is about the  urgency of speculating the impossible.</p><p> </p><p><s
