“…However, recent geopolitical changes are blurring the traditional roles of borders as barriers to trade, communication and human mobility, and lines of absolute sovereign control, resulting in a process known as "de-bordering" (Wilson & Donnan, 2012). This refers to the processes involved in opening borders that were once closed -figuratively and literally -and acknowledges that borders must now be viewed as dynamic and transforming locales that live, breathe and function in ways that are incomparable to other geographic spaces.…”

“…comm.). Border studies are characterized, however, by works that address the theories and practices of contemporary bordering (see Rumford, 2006;Wilson & Donnan, 2012;Luath Bacas & Kavanagh, 2013;Richardson, 2013;Jansen et al, 2015). Much of the output has paid critical attention to the ethics of bordering in the contemporary world, with a particular focus on the border policies of the EU.…”

This article addresses questions relating to the 'Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site' and seeks to introduce into this initiative some concepts derived from recent writings on contemporary mobilities and bordering, exploring the possibility of creating greater engagement between the two academic fields of 'border studies' and 'Roman Frontier Studies'. By examining the relationship between the Roman Frontiers initiative and the European Union's stated aims of integration and the dissolution of borders, it argues in favour of crossing intellectual borders between the study of the present and the past to promote the value of the Roman frontiers as a means of reflecting on contemporary problems facing Europe. This article considers the potential roles of Roman Frontier Studies in this debate by emphasizing frontiers as places of encounter and transformation.

“…Recent research on borders has increasingly viewed them not simply as a “product” but also as a dynamic “process” (Wilson and Donnan :13). Such epistemological rebalancing can be traced, to different extents, in relation to specific cases.…”

Exploring Pluralism in Oral Health Care: Dom Informal Dentists in Northern Lebanon

This article describes a pluralistic regime of oral health provision in a rural part of northern Lebanon, where dental care came from two main sources: professionally trained dentists and "informal" Dom dentists with Syrian nationality. Relying on a combination of interviews and ethnography, I offer a multivocal view of oral health services that incorporates data from patients and formal and informal providers. I argue that informal dentistry constituted an interstitial and translocal mode of dental care. In the northern Lebanese Biqa Valley, close to the Syrian border, the local articulation of neoliberal health governance created opportunities for heterodox practices in oral health. The organization of informality was predicated on the presence of the open border between Syria and Lebanon, which favored patterns of flexible cross-border mobility. In this context, informal dentistry was not alternative, but supplementary and lateral in relation to official forms of oral health provision.
