Comments
In times of heated debates around global migration and ‘border enforcement’, this course provides an introduction to the ever-growing field of Border Studies. Taking as a starting point the problematic yet conventional understanding of borders as static lines separating ‘us’ from ‘them’ and ‘here’ from ‘there’, this seminar aims to make students familiar with non-essentialist notions of border(land)s and belongings. While drawing on a variety of theories and case studies, special attention will be given to postcolonial and intersectional approaches illuminating the crossroads of multiple axes of stratification such as gender, race and citizenship. In geographical terms, we will focus on border configurations across ‘Eurafrica’ and the Americas. close
