Dawlat va dīvār ufūl ḥākimīyat: Persiska (Farsi) 1400

Why exactly three decades after holding international celebrations on the occasion of the fall of the Berlin Wall, many nation-states are in the process of expanding walls on their borders or near their borders? After all, in our time, when the whole planet is connected, and considering that most of the late modern powers have become invulnerable to physical blocking, what is the need to build a wall? How do the walls help to strengthen the ideal but fake image of independence and national sovereignty and to what extent do they become a source of strength for imaginary and illusory images of nationality? What is the symbolic, material, and psychological function of the new walls? Wendy Brown is a political theorist and professor at Berkeley University and works in the field of post-Foucaultian political theory, critical studies of law, and feminist theory and has a position between Marx and Foucault.
