https://doi.org/10.33700/1580-7118.27.2(2025)



This collection brings together interdisciplinary studies examining 
borders, identity, memory, and belonging across different geopolitical 
and historical contexts.


The chapters discuss how narratives and discourses shape understandings 
of nationhood, conflict, and migration from commemorative practices in 
post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the construction of geopolitical 
doctrines in Turkish media, and the challenges of multiculturalism in 
Russia’s Dagestan.


Other contributions focus on lived experiences of violence and urban 
belonging in Calcutta, everyday nationhood in border regions like 
Slovenian Istria, and the role of surveillance technologies such as 
biometrics in the governance of migration within the European Union.


The volume concludes with an exploration of transnational social spaces 
among descendants of Bosnian immigrants in Slovenia, highlighting the 
ongoing negotiation of identity across borders.
