  Borders and border spaces: a subject for geographical and geopolitcal study

  Portant sur le programme au concours d'entrée de l'ENS-Lyon de 2013 (« Frontières et espaces frontaliers »), cette journée d'études interrogera des frontières interétatiques (notamment au prisme des exemples balkaniques et israélo-palestinien), entre construction, reconstruction, revendication, contestation. Elle abordera également la question de la représentation des frontières et espaces frontaliers à travers l'art et la cartographie (elle est également en lien avec la question « Représenter l'espace » au concours de l'agrégation de géographie).

  Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe

  We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational.
