ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the current geopolitical imaginaries around Euro-Mediterranean spaces, addresses the most recent contributions on a post-colonial and borderscaping perspective on the Euro-Mediterranean. The imaginative potential of the borderscapes notion intended as a verb, as borderscaping, as a process of narration, visualization, and imagination has emerged in these multi-layered practices of knowledge-building and within the Euro-Mediterranean context. The chapter explores the fruitful ontological and methodological interconnections between design thinking and border thinking, through the conceptual hinge of a borderscaping perspective. It presents a critical and interpretative reading of three research projects on the Mediterranean. These projects produced new landscapes of images, which can open and enable new forms of imaginative border thinking. Border thinking is the moments in which the imaginary of the modern world system cracks, creating a new space for multiple agencies, resistances and imaginations in its fractures.
