This paper examines the discourses scholars in the field of entrepreneurship use to reflect upon the developments of this discipline and claims these discourses circle around three different versions of the notion of frontier, namely as limit, horizon and in-between. While the arguments to limit and focus the field outnumber the horizon-discourse, marking a discipline-to-come, the paper argues to conceive the field of entrepreneurship as a border zone. Concrete activities that can nurture such a border zone are discussed and illustrated: reconsidering and reframing earlier work, connecting current research tracks into focused communities and continuing to invest in experimenting with new and daring approaches.
