Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'In order to gauge its significance, conceptual change in the study of borders must be seen in relation to fundamental social, economic and geopolitical transformations that have taken place in the past decades. In addition, major paradigmatic shifts in scientific debate, and in the social sciences in particular, must also be considered. Recognising the close interrelationships between social change and paradigm shifts, the EUBORDERSCAPES project will analyse the evolving concept of borders in terms of a mutually linked emergence of “post-national”, “post-colonial”, “post-modernist” and “post-Communist” strands of inquiry. State borders are the frame of reference, rather than ethnographic/anthropological boundaries. However, this approach emphasises the social significance and subjectivities of state borders while critically interrogating “objective” categories of state territoriality and international relations. The research proposed here will, furthermore, not only be focused at the more general, at times highly abstract, level of conceptual change. This approach will also allow us to compare and contrast how different and often contested conceptualisations of state borders (in terms of their political, social, cultural and symbolic significance) resonate in concrete contexts at the level of everyday life.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A new understanding of state borders as a fluid concept for social and political resources shows how borders are not only a challenge but also a way to reframe cultural space.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Significant changes in recent history such as the end of the Cold War, European integration and the intricate process of globalisation have dramatically changed the significance of borders. Thus, state borders in a socio-political context are continuously changing in terms of challenging traditional forms of politics, governance and identity. This makes borders both subjective and socially significant.
How these changes create social, economic, cultural and geopolitical transformations in the past decades is worth examining. In light of this, the EU-funded http://www.euborderscapes.eu/ (EUBORDERSCAPES) project is examining the rationales involved in the making of borders as institutions, processes and symbols. Essentially, this entails adopting the notion that borders emerge as a result of socio-political processes happening in society.
Specifically, the project has been looking into the ways borders are a reflection of change in society and the differences that borders make in the lives of groups and individuals. The project's consortium highlights the themes and concepts that are developing in borders studies, providing a new way to view borders.
During the first part of the project, work centred on creating specific approaches to pave the way for the creation of case studies and participation in field work. Dissemination of results thus far has taken place at an international conference on border-related issues.
Going forward, the project plans to identify issues that will be part of specific reports and policy-oriented dissemination in the future. Some of these issues will be relevant to gender, migration, identity politics, cross-border cooperation and conflict amelioration.
