| Summary: | In this study I intend to understand and explain the representations of space in modern world by looking at the experiences of nation-state and its borders in one of Turkey's frontier cities, Kars. I examined the process of construction of modern discourses concerning space and time, geography and history, nation-state and globalisation, cognitive and territorial mappings in the historical and memorial processes. I tried to describe the process of the spatialisation of power relations in the borders within cultural spaces which represent various complex dynamics of globalisation. Therefore, the border reproduces the binary oppositions in all areas and also have the capacity to move beyond them even in the case of a rigid border like the one between Kars and Armenia.
