Summary:The invisible borders of the Arctic, commonly imagined as vast open space, become visible when they collide with beings, and, in the collision, become noticeable. Bordered lives in the degrees of the North intersect with the development of outmigration, urbanization, nationalization, privatization, Indigeneity, traditional livelihoods and symbolism. The analysis takes us from the understanding of borders as striated spaces towards the characteristics of liminality and transformation. The conversation is pound to the enwoven figure on a wired fence that emerges as a sign of passage from one era to another; an anthropocenery.
