Abstract
The research investigates the Turkey-Syria border as a project, reading it through spaces made and remade by its mechanism, the struggles it produces, and the narratives that emerge from it. As an extension of how powers control the terrain, the border is intended to be eternal, thus it is made through bordering continuously. Due to this inherent dynamism, the border becomes thicker than a bidimensional line on maps, and as the circulations it modulates and the bodies it controls design the spaces, it becomes a landscape. Among the different spatial implications of the border as a project is to push back, which turns it into a site of struggle where movements confront the bordering as an act of violence.
In the case of the Turkey-Syria border, historically being a “bone of contention” ever since its demarcation on maps following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, it has reached its current status as a security mechanism project promoted by Turkey and the EU
