ABSTRACT

This chapter employs converge with those that have animated recent discussions in political geography, border studies, and spatial theory. It also discusses the possibilities and limitations of mobility in the context of globalization. The chapter traces how in both plays violence is constitutive of mobility. Clements' two works further key critical insights on gendered, racial, and cultural experiences of mobility-experiences beset by exile, displacement, and ecological and human violence in both plays. The contest of values that emerged in public discussions of the march prompts deeper reflection of mobility, territory, and the racialization of space writ large in Indigenous-settler history. Burning Vision not only explores the role that technologies of mobility have played in human and ecological destruction, but it also reflects on the new geographies created by technologies of mobility. The Unnatural and Accidental Women explores mobility's racial and gendered limits by the movements of Indigenous female characters who cannot wear their bodies lightly in urban space.
