  Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders

  2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

  In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

  What is Border Studies?

  2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

  The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

  Multiculturalisme, interculturalité, identité complexe : l’exemple du Caucase

  Le propos de cette journée d’étude est de mettre en lumière les richesses d’un espace qui constitue culturellement, historiquement, mais aussi quotidiennement, une sorte d’îlot multiculturel : le Caucase. Les échanges interculturels ont joué un rôle presque sacré dans la construction de l’identité azerbaïdjanaise. Le Caucase est un lieu d’intenses échanges interculturels : il est situé au carrefour des cultures européennes et proche-orientales, et le patrimoine culturel, musical et littéraire de ce territoire témoigne de sa diversité constitutive. L’Azerbaïdjan constitue un exemple particulier de l’importance des échanges interculturels dans la construction de l’identité complexe de cet espace : en effet, la culture d’Azerbaïdjan porte la marque des influences turcique, iranienne et européenne. Or, les recherches actuelles ignorent encore, dans l’ensemble, l’importance du multiculturalisme et de l’interculturalité dans la construction de l’espace caucasien. C’est précisément cette lacune que nous nous proposons de combler.

  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.

  Être ou ne pas être balkanique, les péripéties historiques d'une aire culturelle

  Revue Civilisations 60 (2)

  Dans ce numéro, nous voudrions regrouper différentes recherches qui contribuent à présenter une argumentation précise, à partir d'études de terrains qui s'articulent autour de cette interrogation sur l'existence et la persistance d'une unité « balkanique », au-delà de sa diversité et des récentes influences subies.
