Talking
Borders - An Audio Archive
CIBR has recently decided to make available a
series of talks on specific borders across the world. Called Talking
Borders, this series forms the basis of an audio archive
on borders that is envisaged to include not only talks by scholars
and specialists but also talks and interviews with people most directly
afftected by the operation of borders and the consequences of border
disputes.
The series so far comprises seven different talks recorded and
collected by Oxford based artist Simon James. This section makes
available the audio files that can be downloaded or streamed by
clicking on the appropriate link below. Each talk is broken down
into individual tracks c. 2-3 minutes in length that can played
using either RealPlayer
or the QuickTime media players. |
