I più noti sono quello americano, gigantesco, che corre lungo il confine meridionale degli Stati Uniti e quello israeliano che si snoda attraverso la Cisgiordania. Ma di muri ve ne sono molti altri. Il Sud Africa del post-apartheid mantiene una barriera elettrificata di sicurezza lungo il confine con lo Zimbabwe.

Ma perché gli Stati-nazione manifestano una vera e propria passione per la costruzione dei muri? Cosa nasconde quella paradossale, dura, ottusa fisicità dei muri?
