New publication: 2nd anthology on ‘Border Complexities’

This book offers readers in-depth insights into current issues surrounding borders – from historical, cultural and media-theoretical perspectives. It demonstrates how borders today must no longer be understood merely as state-imposed lines, but as complex, social and digital processes. The contributions are based on interdisciplinary workshops held across Europe and shed light on the complexity of border phenomena: from memory and imagination through to materialities and new concepts of space. The publication is aimed at researchers and those with an interest in the cultural, social and media sciences. The editors and authors are internationally active researchers in the field of Border Studies and related disciplines.

This volume emerged from the German–French–Luxembourgish workshop series ‘Border Complexities’, which was funded by the Franco-German University. Researchers from the UniGR Centre for Border Studies, the Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies at the European University of Flensburg, the Centre Georg Simmel (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris) and the Viadrina Center B/ORDERS IN MOTION collaborated on this project.

A first anthology, also arising from the workshop series, was published in 2024: Christian Wille, Carolin Leutloff-Grandits, Falk Bretschneider, Sylvie Grimm-Hamen, Hedwig Wagner (eds.) (2024): Border Complexities and Logics of Dis/Order (Border Studies. Cultures, Spaces, Orders, vol. 7). Baden-Baden: Nomos. https://doi.org/10.5771/9783748922292.
