‎Summary The early modern world was one of movement, contact, and exchange. Yet, this does not mean that it was borderless. On the contrary, connection existed only when people moved along and across the separations between polities, religions, and mentalities. So in order to understand early modern connections, one also needs to analyse the boundaries that accompanied them. In Transregional Territories, the early modern Low Countries are chosen as a 'laboratory' for studying border formation and border management through the lens of transregional history. Eight different cases highlight the impact of boundaries on the actions and strategies of individuals and governments. Crossing borders in early modern times was not merely an act of negating a territorial division, but rather a moment of intimate interaction with the separation itself. As such, this volume illustrates how borders forced historical actors to adapt their behaviour, and how historians can use a transregional vantage point to better understand these changes. The cases are presented by leading border specialists and scholars of the early modern Low Countries: Fernando Chavarr a M gica, Victor Enthoven, Raingard Esser, Yves Junot, Marie Kervyn, Christel Annemieke Romein, and Patricia Subirade. Bram De Ridder, Violet Soen, Werner Thomas, and Sophie Verreyken are all members of the Early Modern History Research Group of the KU Leuven. Together, they have published extensively on transregional history and the history of the early modern Low Countries, grouped under the label of transregionalhistory.eu.

‎Beyond Borders. Isabel Miquel Arqu s in dialogue with Karen Blixen is published by Ludion and is part of a trilogy that is an artistic dialogue between the artist and female icons such as Karen Blixen, Virginia Woolf and Georgia O'Keeffe. In the first part of this trilogy, Isabel links her own life to that of the Danish writer Karen Blixen by means of photographs, screen prints and short fragments of prose and poetry. Arqu s interweaves the impressions that she gathered in Blixen's house, world, novels and biography into a new story of poetic images. /// Het werk van de Spaanse kunstenares Isabel Miquel Arqu s, die sinds vijftien jaar in Antwerpen woont, wordt ge nspireerd door haar omgeving; in het bijzonder de artistieke dialoog met andere vrouwelijke kunstenaars zoals Karen Blixen, Virginia Wolf en Georgia O'Keefe. In Beyond Borders verbindt ze aan de hand van beeld en tekst haar eigen leven met dat van de Deense schrijfster Karen Blixen (1885 - 1962), wiens bekendste boeken, Out of Africa en Babette's Feast, met succes verfilmd werden. Arqu s doet dit aan de hand van oogverblindende foto's en zeefdrukken, en door middel van korte maar wel gekozen proza- en po ziefragmenten. Arqu s bezocht meerdere keren Rungstedlund, Blixens huis dat nu een museum is. Ze fotografeerde er de voorwerpen die Blixen dagelijks gebruikte, zaken die haar fysieke realiteit vormden. Aan de hand daarvan ontstond in Arqu s' verbeelding een parallel verhaal, haar verhaal, dat zich langzaam vervlocht met dat van Karen Blixen. Terwijl ze een foto nam van het tapijt in de woonkamer, dreven haar gedachten weg. Ze zag niet langer een tapijt maar een wegenkaart, een vertrekpunt en een bestemming, kruispunten en zijpaden, een levensloop. In andere stukken zag ze Blixens reizen, de landen die ze bezocht had, zee n en landschappen. Beyond Borders vormt het visuele resultaat van de indrukken die Aqu s opdoet in het huis, de leefwereld, de romans en de biografie van Karen Blixen en die op hun beurt leiden tot nieuwe po tische beelden. Een boek om voor altijd te koesteren.‎
