The concept of aura deployed in this article – a notion contained in inchoate form in the popular usage of “backyard” – evokes the tension between the apparent stable boundaries of the state and its much more ambiguous incarnation. It allows for a view of the state that is both unconfined to its physical boundaries and that melts into its contiguous neighbours. Building upon the recent work of philosophers on more-than-human entanglements and symbiotic assemblages, the auratic can also help challenge the Darwinian model currently predominant in geopolitics. Indeed, adopting collaboration and symbiosis as organising metaphors rather than zero-sum survival predicated on competition and rivalry seems especially crucial in the current context of climate change and pandemics
