Borderscaping: Imaginations and Practices of Border Making

Book review : <i>Violence on the Margins – States, conflict and borderlands</i>

“…Les questionnements relèvent bien des interrogations les plus actuelles dans les border studies, sur ce que des ouvrages récents qualifient de borderscapes (Brambilla, 2014;Brambilla et al, 2016) ou de borderities (Amilhat-Szary et Giraut, 2015).

The Safe Third Country Agreement: An Analysis Thirteen Years Later

“…The 1967 For instance, Turkey is only party to the 1951 Refugee Convention, opting to lift the 1951 Refugee Convention's temporal limit without lifting the geographical limit (Brambilla, Laine, Scott, & Bocchi, 2015).

Line Dancing: A Performative and Phenomenological Study of the Borderlands Region of Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont

“…There are rich bodies of work on particular border regions as well. For a collection of papers focused on European borders and bordering processes see Brambilla, Laine, Scott, and Bocchi (2015). Of course there has also been substantial work done on the Mexican U. S. border (for examples, see Kearney 1998;Muehlmann 2014-an ethnography that looks at borderlands people affected by borderlands drug trafficking; Vilo 2003, a collection of ethnographies of this border).…”
