Abstract
Borders as an object of study are becoming important factors in postmodern political and social theory and cultural studies. The differences between peoples and cultures are no longer represented by the geographical boundaries that separate them. Most recently, they help in delineating a new space where they are initially opposed and gradually start interpenetrating one another. Within this space, texts from contemporary émigré literature could be considered and interpreted differently.
