In the wake of globalization, numerous social scientists are
turning to concepts of mobility, fluidity and hybridity to
characterize a presumed de-territorialization and de-bordering of
contemporary social and economic relations. This book brings
together a select group of internationally renowned human
geographers to explore the use of these concepts in relation to
space, place and territory. In doing so, they (re)situate the
subject of borders as active socio-spatial processes from a variety
of theoretical perspectives. The contributors link debates on
borders to discussions within the wider sphere of cultural studies,
notably those addressing themes of migration, post-colonialism, the
formation of national/regional identities and radical democratic
practice. The chapters focus on those discursive practices that
constitute 'bordered' geographical entities in the first instance
through differentiated regimes of discourse. The book thus
transcends the narrower field of borderlands research by building
bridges to other domains of enquiry within political and human
geography.
