Abstract:In this article, I analyze the potential positive impact of aerial perspectives on children's understanding of their place in the world, with Le Petit Prince envisioning a borderless world of ecological and social unity. The novellas of the pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry encourage their projected viewers to see the interconnectedness of all life, including the life of the planet itself. Most notably, Le Petit Prince raises environmental responsibility in discussing the prince's planet and undermines ideas of national difference as the prince views the earth from space. Visual adaptations of Le Petit Prince by Stanley Donen and Will Vinton pick up on Saint-Exupéry's phenomenology of perception and translate them through visual techniques into politicized aerial perspectives. Looking at Le Petit Prince and its film adaptations, this article argues that aerial perspectives work to transform children's perceptions and break down bordered mappings of the world.
摘要:在本文中，我分析了空中视角对儿童理解他们在世界上的位置的潜在积极影响，《小王子》设想了一个生态和社会统一的无国界世界。飞行员和作家安托万·德·圣埃克苏姆赛的中篇小说鼓励他们的观众看到所有生命的相互联系，包括地球本身的生命。最值得注意的是，《小王子》在讨论王子的星球时提出了环境责任，并在王子从太空看地球时破坏了国家差异的观念。斯坦利·多南(Stanley Donen)和威尔·温顿(Will Vinton)对《小王子》(Le Petit Prince)的视觉改编借鉴了圣·埃克苏普萨里的感知现象学，并通过视觉技术将其转化为政治化的空中视角。通过观察《小王子》及其改编的电影，本文认为，从空中视角可以改变孩子们的观念，打破世界的边界映射。

Abstract:Based on ethnographic observations in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, this article examines the multiple, overlapping, criss-crossing axes of inequality that both shape and fracture the experiences of individual borderland residents. Instead of focusing on the national border, this article analyzes intersecting axes of social inequality and uses ethnographic data to describe social borders that divide and separate those living in the borderlands. Using ethnographic data culled from 133 young adults in focus group settings, this article merges the theory of intersectionality with border studies scholarship in order to analyze how socio-economic stratification, gender inequality, histories of racial discrimination, and generational differences map onto one another in a place characterized by narco violence. In essence, the article demonstrates how the lives of adolescents and young adults in the Rio Grande Valley are ensnared within a unique matrix of intersecting axes of inclusion and exclusion. The intersecting axes of gender, race, and class inequality unfold in a context of "narco culture," where residents are not only living along the US-Mexico border, and within social webs of intersectional borders, but also on the border of legality/illegality.

Abstract:While an unfolding backlash against globalization has resulted in a tightening of the borders that police our movement through space, the borders that structure our temporal experience have been made newly porous by technologies that alter the terms of our presence in that space. This paper argues that our current condition of ubiquitous connectivity—our constant interconnection and integration into larger flows of information and communication—has brought about a paradoxical anxiety of disconnection that finds expression in the field's growing "kinship" movement. In the digital age, instantaneous communication butts up against infinite information, giving birth to the extended present—a temporality in which the borders of the now seem to be both ever diminishing and expanding. What does this mean for the temporal alterity that subsists between adult and child as theoretical constructs? What happens to the adult-child relationship in the age of the constant update? This paper examines to what extent the field's current turn toward models that emphasize similarity—or "kinship"—over difference constitutes an attempt to reaffirm a continuity between past and present that is threatened by the rise of new media technologies, and ponders what the attempt to cohere our disparate temporalities into the present might mean for the future of the field and those on whose behalf it proposes to speak.

Abstract:The transmediation involved in recent Walt Disney Company productions including A Wrinkle in Time, Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, Coco, and Moana engage with a process of visualizing the nonvisual in ways that have heretofore differed from past Disney offerings. These films respond to calls for increased diversity, unlocking the potential of imagined spaces on a global scale. Although it addresses postcolonial identity politics that are both salient and fraught in the current geopolitical climate, such diversity nevertheless serves Disney's corporate interests, (re)producing a colonizing progression decentralized from the nation-state but rooted in projection of culture. As Disney adapts new narratives, it also engages in a process of incorporation, absorbing these narratives into the larger framework of the overarching corporate structure of the "magic kingdom"—intended to designate a cultural home for childhood, imagination, and reminiscence of how things were and what they might become. I contend that Disney's incorporation of new narratives extends greater access to imaginary spaces while producing a homogenizing effect on global media culture.

Abstract:Through the lens of feminist cultural geography, the authors seek to understand how film and television depictions of the violent white schoolgirl across the idealized space of white suburbia temporarily disrupt, but ultimately sustain, the borders that define gender, youth, normalcy, and deviance. The authors analyze contemporary cinematic and televised dramas, including Peter Jackson's 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, the 2018 HBO series Sharp Objects, and Cory Finley's 2017 film Thoroughbreds to demonstrate how spatial dimensions of "deviant" white adolescent femininity enforce the boundaries of "normal" girlhood.
