Where is Liberland? Ideology and power beyond territory

Résumé

In response to James Riding and Carl Dahlman's thought-provoking article, I wish to question the link between the self-proclaimed micronation Liberland and the territory of Gornja Siga. Indeed, if we consider that the real location of Liberland is in cyberspace, and not on the small terra nullius stuck on the banks of the Danube, at the Croatian-Serbian border, the reflection refers to other ‘geographical imaginaries’, putting forward the libertarian ideology of the protagonists, and the articulation between militant networks and technologies, which make possible the emergence of this ‘private state’ without a proper territory. Would the claim of Gornja Siga be then only the territorial camouflage of a political movement ‘off-ground’?
