[ecrea] Borderlands Issue 16.1, Border Politics

The issue 16.1 of borderlands is now available online:

http://www.borderlands.net.au/issues/vol16no1.html
The contributions from Mahdis Azarmandi, Roberto D Hernandez, David 
Eades, Anelynda Mielke, Leila Whitley and Brett Nicholls combine to 
interrogate prevailing methods of state governance, specifically those 
that enact aggressive and exclusionary forms of border control and 
nationalism. Azarmandi and Hernandez examine current contestations over 
the re-naming of colonial sites and memorials in Barcelona and Spain, 
Eades and Mielke address specific cases of migration and border control 
in Australia/New Guinea and Palestine/Canada, respectively, while 
Whitley problematises the uptake of Agamben in border and migration 
scholarship. Nicholls contends that the documentary style of Adam Curtis 
is a powerful articulation of the post-political present and a 
compelling form of social theory.

My thanks to Tony Burke for his help and to Vijay Devadas for his 
valuable input and guidance in the production of this issue. My sincere 
thanks also to all the authors who contributed, for the commitment 
reflected in your writing and for your patient understanding during the 
publication process, it is much appreciated.
