Abstract

This paper explores how the Moroccan feminine and masculine bodies vie with the prevalent norms in defiance of the borders in their literal and metaphorical dimensions. They are bodies challenging the ‘disciplinary powers' to raise questions about border protection and border crossing. Against this backdrop, the study interrogates the sociocultural conceptions held by Moroccan men and women about their bodies, identities, visions, whims, and transgressions. Hence, the main objective is to account for the current permutations of identities as they are posited to be fluid and over-floating, allowing bodies to carve out liminal spaces and voices other than the normative.
