Abstract

The activity of line dancing is presented as a metaphor for how the border between Canada and the US at Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont is made real through human enactment, how creative human response transforms it, and at the same time, how identities are also shaped and changed by the collectively imagined border.
