    1. emancipate women from compulsory motherhood or help to ad- minister it

      this is a really great question as this directly holds in the balance the purpose of government support and is it support at all, or a ploy to gain control over women?

    2. egislate and adjudicate for our- selves in exchange for external guarantees of physical security, in- cluding security in one's propert

      but why do we have to give one up to have the other?

    1. Some settlers also appropriated indigenous symbols, attributes, and skills, as in the case of American frontiersmen who wore buckskin and cowboys, range-riders, and backwoodsmen who adopted native trapping, hunting, and riding tech-niques

      its really insane to me that after we took their land, we simultaneously treated indigenous people as second class citizens while stealing from their culture and way of life. Which is more proof that these were racist charged actions?

    1. These scholars have stressed the indeterminacy of racial categories and the fluidity and hybridity of racial identities.

      literally just made a note of that!!! I am on the right track.

    2. “downward” to become part of an expanded category that he calls the “collective Black.”

      a concern i have with this "ranking" style is that we don't fully understand the scope of discrimination and how that impacts these different groups. Furthermore, to posit these different groups seems to make the observation that one is treated better than the other, however, that doesn't really inform on how those within these "different groups" actually feel on the ground.

    1. In such a conjuncture, it is necessary to try to think what it is difficult even to imagine. But it can also be fruitful to work on the imagination itself, to explore its possibilities of variation.

      This offering is particularly challenging to the current understanding of borders many country leaders have. Which prompts my question:

      How could reimagining the "idea," "process," or notion of a border affect or make more effective international relations/foreign policy? Through this reimagination, would/could relationships internationally generate a more meaningful working relationship?

    2. The conjuncture in which we are currently living in Europe-from the Atlantic to the Urals, unless it be to the Amur River, from the Nordkapp to the Bosporus, unless it be to the Persian Gulf, wherever the representation of the border as particularization and partition of the universal reigns-is producing a brutal short-circuit of the "empirical" and "transcendental" di-mensions of the notion of the border.

      I feel like this...long...sentence has much to unpack. In short, I feel this sentence is a loose mention of the idea that we may have differing countries with borders "on paper," but that doesn't disclude the idea that, especially when thinking in terms of individuals from different (neighboring) countries (for example—the distance from Toronto Canada to Buffalo NY), they may have similar ideologies even thought their governments are different.

      The question erects the notion the area around a border "line" where that line may not be as clear as the map dictates.

    3. because Europe is the point of the world whence border lines set forth to be drawn through-out the world,

      When I think of the beginning idea of borders, one thing I think of, as mentioned in class a few times, are the times of monarchism and their borders around the kingdoms.

      So it is an engaging contrast that we are studying the idea of borders in a place that once had the stereotypical kingdom walls, to now where they are fairly borderless.

    1. In what waysdoes a shift from a geopolitical to a biopolitical horizon enable differentinterrogation of border/body experiences?

      There are many aspects that go into geopolitics (which is basically international relations) that may influence how discussions are held or how decisions are made—what is the impact or influence of religion on geopolitics?

    2. How do we experience border-crossing? Alter-natively, what does it feel like to exist as a border – as, for example,unwelcome migrants and minority groups are forced to do?

      I think this question is particularly interesting question to pose as the answer would look different for the person you ask (even currently) from those from different periods of time. Meaning if we went way back into monarchism—those individuals would likely say the stone wall around their kingdom (potentially). Currently, there isn't necessaryily a need for a physical border wall (unless you are certain people) because there, arguably, aren't really any borders in modern civilization. Most countries allow people to travel to their country and there isn't a physical border separating them rather a sort of marker. Another interesting concept this begins to dip into, is the idea of ideologies. Even though there is a "border" separating different countries—is there a border separating ideologies that may be similar even though they exist in different countries.
