The notion of border concerns psychoanalysis because it articulates the particular topological space that the subject inhabits as a result of its structural division by language: in between signifiers, between truth and knowledge, between jouissance and knowledge and between speech and letter. Among these terms is possible to establish differences, frontiers, but also littorals, displacements and passages that might be fruitful to the function of the subject.
On the other hand, the constitution of borders as political-juridical delimitations often leads to the institution of new forms of segregation that today impact the social link. What can psychoanalysis contribute today to the question of borders?

Having grown up in Tacoma, Washington, Susan Shaw Sailer now resides in Morgantown, West Virginia, where she has lived for the past 30 years. At the age of 48 she completed a Ph.D. at the University of Washington and in 1989 moved to teach in the English Department of West Virginia University. After retirement she went back to graduate school for an MFA in Poetry at New England College and until last year continued teaching, this time in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at WVU.
