205: The Politics of Borders (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 5)

Erin and Adri discuss the politics of borders, in chapter 5 “The Whomping Willow” of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. What are borders, really? Borders as a geographical and oftentimes imaginary marker of place, legal and illegal border crossing, and how you can illegally cross borders even if you do belong somewhere.

We discuss how borders can dictate what we can do with our bodies:
