Symbolic boundaries refer to the conceptual distinctions that individuals and groups make to categorize people, practices, and objects, which generate feelings of similarity, group membership, and exclusion. Proposed by cultural sociologists, symbolic boundaries are essential in forming social groups but need to be widely accepted to transform into social boundaries. Durkheim and Symbolic Boundaries. Émile Durkheim viewed the symbolic boundary between the sacred and profane as a primary social fact, from which other symbolic boundaries derive. For Durkheim, rituals—whether religious or secular—served as the primary means through which groups reinforced their symbolic and moral boundaries. Durkheim emphasized that crime and deviance play a crucial role in reaffirming these symbolic boundaries by provoking collective responses that reinforce group solidarity. Neo-Durkheimian Perspectives. Building on Durkheim's theories, sociologist Mary Douglas argued that symbolic boundaries organize experience in both private and public realms, even in secular societies. Neo-Durkheimian theorists also stress the role of deviancy in exposing symbolic boundaries that define moral order. Transgressing Symbolic Boundaries. Transgression of symbolic boundaries can provoke prejudice, often because these boundaries protect a group's identity. Symbolic boundaries can overlap with physical boundaries, as illustrated by rituals like the ancient ceremony of beating the bounds, which blurred the lines between symbolic and real frontiers. Migration and Identity. Writer Salman Rushdie has examined the migrant’s role as a postmodern figure that crosses symbolic boundaries, often challenging them and facing demonization from the host nation. Symbolic vs. Social Boundaries. While symbolic boundaries are conceptual and cultural, social boundaries refer to the tangible and objectified forms of social differences that result in unequal access to resources and opportunities. Play and Humour. Play and humour serve as mechanisms to test and challenge symbolic boundaries. Playing with social norms allows for experimentation within the unspoken frames of social behavior, while humour can reveal, test, and sometimes shift these boundaries.
The Wales and Berwick Act 1746 () was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that created a statutory definition of England as including both Wales and Berwick-upon-Tweed. It was passed on 17 June 1747 and later repealed in its entirety by the Interpretation Act 1978. Provisions. The Act clarified that any reference to "England" in legislation passed before or after the Act would include Wales and Berwick-upon-Tweed unless stated otherwise. This definition applied to all Acts of Parliament unless an alternative definition was provided. As legal scholar William Blackstone observed, the Act "perhaps superfluously" made explicit what had previously been implied. The town of Berwick had historically switched between Scottish and English control before the unification of the two crowns in 1603. The Act confirmed that Berwick would be governed by English law. Of the original Act's four sections, only Section 3 related to Wales and Berwick. Sections 1 and 2 dealt with the collection of window tax, while Section 4 allowed Quaker officials to replace oaths of fidelity with a declaration, due to their religious objections to oath-taking. Repeal. The Act's application to Wales was repealed by the Welsh Language Act 1967. The entire Act was later repealed by the Interpretation Act 1978, which established new definitions of England, Wales, and Berwick in legislation. The Local Government Act 1972 clarified that "England" would henceforth refer to the counties created by the Act (including Berwick), while "Wales" referred to the new Welsh counties. This also settled the long-standing debate over Monmouthshire, officially recognizing it as part of Wales.
