The concept of 'border' is - paradoxically? - gaining new relevance
in
the wake of what is usually
described as 'globalization', including
such
diverse phenomena as
migration, inter-cultural
communication,
transformation or
hybridization.
This concept is equally important for those theories centering
around
identity and those
centering around difference. In trying to
cross
national as well as
disciplinary borders we are looking
for
contributions with current
theoretical and/or empirical
perspectives,
critically
analys
ing the concept and/or the construction of borders.
We
would like to confront
different angles on the subject and are hoping
to
create space for productive
discussions.
Possible topics include, but are not limited
to:
- Oikos/Nomos
-
Production/Distribution/Consumtion
- Constructions of Knowledge
-
Biopolitics
-
GenderTransitivities
- Discourse
Analyses
- Power
Structures
&nb
sp; - Marxologics &
Criticism of Ideology
-
LanguageRituals &
Representations
- Hybrid
Cultures
- Ethics after
Postmodernism
-
Postcolonialisms
-
BodyFormations
-
MediaExperiences and

- Free and
