Abstract
An "edge" can be both noun and verb. Edges may be the sharp meeting points
or vertices between planes. Edges can also be lines, boundaries, or borders
at which things terminate; brinks or verges; narrow surfaces of thin, flat
objects. Edges can refer to sharpness - of appetite, irritation, drive, desire, or
voice, for example. They can be fuzzy: their sharpness bled out like lines of
ink on blotting paper, their acuity rendered vague, their meaning unsettled or
complicated. Enacted, edges are qualities we may give to a project, a pitch,
or a campaign; or they may be slow advances towards things - such as ships
towards a coastline. Edginess may be ontological. The edges considered in
the chapters that follow - bodies, boats, shores, and seabeds - are all of these
and more. They highlight territory as a political technology simultaneously
reproduced and challenged by individuals as they engage space's dynamic
materiality.
