Abstract	This first chapter on Ecology addresses the strong hold which conceptions of nature and the natural have on how both borders and aesthetics are configured. Conceptions of borders and aesthetics formed on natural models imagine the boundary as an obstacle to be respected and treat border-crossers, whose crossings alter and form the unstable terrains they cross, as the irrelevant exception or the disturbing or disruptive dissident.
