| Inhalt | This seminar takes a closer look at the concept, extensions, and workings of ‘border regimes’ within the context of migration. The seminar discusses the understanding of border regimes as constituting of multiple actors that contribute to it, including nation states, nongovernmental and private actors. As such, the seminar specifically leaves a western-centric perspective on borders behind and studies the international synergies and collaborations, as well as broader resistance beyond the European context to discuss the concept of border regime in a holistic manner. With a further focus on practices and resistance, the seminar is interested in the various levels of border-making and studies legal exclusion, as well as socio-political discourses and everyday lives at the border. In order to introduce such practices, within the seminar we will explore the meaning(s) of border(s), both materially and ideologically through studies that take up socio-political aspects of border work. It includes works on geographical borders in relation to nation-states, as well as research that explores how borders exist beyond nation-states. In a further step, we will then explore how such borders come into being, how they are maintained but also questioned and how various actors are involved in the maintenance and dismantling of borders. This will be done through specific case studies and concrete examples that take up the following themes: theories on border regimes and critical border studies, infrastructure, socio-legal studies on borders, border practices and resistance. Besides these themes being set in context with concrete examples they will also show links and developments of past and present border regime practices. |
| Lernziele | Students will learn about multidimensional perspectives on border research, including general theories on border regimes and critical border studies, as well as more specific aspects of border research. They will learn about international and national border practices, about the actors involved and about the daily live of and at borders. They will further understand the theoretical concepts and be able to apply them to specific cases and examples, as well as position these theories within the broader migration literature. They will be able to use these theories to extrapolate the research angle on further topics within migration studies, but also within broader studies on international actors and globalization. Students will receive an insight into the multi-layered and complex perspective in border studies, that engage in and present socio-legal studies, anthropology of the state, ethnography, and international relations. Due to the participatory planning of the seminar, students will learn to critically position themselves to the read literature and learn how to summarize and discuss the literature and examples. They will finally also be able to formulate such positioning in a written way and be able to organize their knowledge on migration in a thematic way. |
