Traveling, we can free ourselves from the contexts through which we have formed our identity.

The rapid globalization we have seen in the last decades has brought with it various types of migration, an expansion in tourism, new communication technologies from fax machines to digital networks, national economies reaching out in international transactions, to name but a few factors. Globalization sets out to eliminate the duality of space and time that have been unseparable coordinates of human experience until only a few decades ago. In relation to the construction of an identity however, this relatively new situation poses a basic problem: Identity is firmly attached, presupposed, and constructed within and through time and space.

I can now find myself physically suspended between time zones simply by traveling by plane. I can 'meet' person(alitie)s in cyberspace void of time and tangible space. I can do business, transfer money across countries with distinct economies and laws. Where am I - body, mind and spirit - scattered across continents, conceptual, and digital spaces?

How can I locate utopia that exists only in relation to myself, in my desire when I have become so dislocated, so unstuck?
