“…This question has been repeatedly posed in the discipline of border studies and responses vary from narrow conceptualizations of the border as a political dividing line between sovereign nation states interacting on a global arena (O'Dowd 2010), and wider understandings that posit the border as the dynamic effect(s) of dis-located socio-cultural negotiations and performances of difference (Schimanski & Wolfe 2013;Parker & VaughanWilliams 2009;Johnson et.al. 2011;van Houtum 2012;Rumford 2012). In the latter understanding, borders are not confined to concrete territorial dividing lines, but disperse and form complex and multi-modal borderscapes (Brambilla 2010(Brambilla , 2014Rajaram and Grundy-Warr 2007;Schimanski 2014).…”

“…Their approach makes borders conceivable as not only a limiting frame, but also a resource that provides orientation in ambiguous terrains. I will draw on such reconceptualisations and, through focus on the role of aesthetic expressions in the bordering process, contribute to a "multiperspectival study of borders" (887) recently called for by Rumford (2012).…”

Art Across Borders: Dislocating Artistic and Curatorial Practices in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region

The present article investigates the role of artworks in processes of bordering in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region. Drawing upon a neo-formalist framework, it firstly analyses works that were exhibited during the X-Border Art Biennial to identify disruptive potentials vested in the artistic pieces' formal properties, before it, secondly, addresses potential performance effects of these works and of the curatorial decision to distribute exhibition space across three cities in Sweden, Finland, and Russia. I argue for an ambivalent role of artistic and curatorial practices that have the inherent potential to articulate opposition and de-familiarize established frames for perception and cognition, and at the same time inhere the capacity to reinforce regimes of exclusion and facilitate processes of commodification and capitalization.

“…(Kolossov 2012, 3) The role and significance of internal borders between "stateless nations" are now at the center of a number of key debates (Rumford 2012), and can be seen as just as complex, diverse and contradictory as state boundaries.…”

“…In aiming to bring the Anglo-Scottish border "back in," it is important to highlight the common ground between this endeavor and recent attempts to reconceptualize borders within a more critical border studies. This burgeoning literature stresses the importance of: capturing their dynamic nature; utilizing an interdisciplinary (or "multi-perspectival" approach); appreciating their competing and contradictory material and symbolic meanings; and being critical of the assumption that they have usually taken the form of a line drawn between two states (see for example: Anderson and O'Dowd 1999;Brunet-Jailly 2005;Newman 2003;Parker and Vaughan-Williams 2009;Rumford 2012).…”

This special issue of the Journal of Borderlands Studies "brings the Anglo-Scottish border back in" by drawing upon six of the contributions from an ESRC Seminar Series on the nature of the cross-border relationship between Scotland and its "closest cousins," in Northern England. The seminars, which took place in 2014-2015, involved a range of contributors including academics, policy-makers and practitioners, with the academics drawn from a range of disciplines, including politics, cultural history, visual culture, economic geography, sociology, and planning. This introduction will examine the main characteristics of the Anglo-Scottish border and capture the nature of contemporary border change. It will then focus on the cross-border relationship between Scotland and the North of England before highlighting the key themes of the six articles contained in this special issue. It will conclude by examining how debates on the Anglo-Scottish border, and its borderlands, can be located within recent attempts to reconceptualize borders and bordering.

“…26 "Bariyerlerden köprülere" metaforu ile özetlenen bu dönüşüm sırasında, Birlik içinde sınırların ayırıcı ve yabancılaştırıcı etkisi azaltılmış ve farklı alanlarda farklı ülkeleri içerecek şekilde tamamen kaldırılması noktası-na yaklaşmıştır. 27 Birliğin dış sınırları ile ilgili politikaları ise ikircikli bir seyir izlemiştir. Bir taraftan başta Akdeniz üzerinden gelenler olmak üzere göçmenlere karşı baş-latılan FRONTEX uygulaması ile bariyerleri yükseltme, Yunanistan-Türkiye sınırında görüldüğü gibi duvar öre-rek somutlaştırılırken, diğer taraftan komşuluk politikası enstrümanları ile Birlik dışı ülkeler ile ekonomik ve sosyal alanda iletişimin arttırılmasına çalışılmaktadır.…”

Turkey has been engaging in cross-border cooperation projects for over a decade, and these accelerated following the granting of EU candidacy status to Turkey. The major cross-border cooperation activities take place on the western border regions of TurkeySınır ötesi işbirliği, sınır bölgelerinin gelişmesine ve komşu ül-keler arasında iyi ilişkiler kurulmasına katkı sağlayan önemli araçlardan birisi olarak gösterilmektedir. AB'nin öncü destekçileri arasında yer aldığı bu tür işbirlikleri, adaylık süreci ile birlikte Türkiye'nin de gündemine girmiş, Bulgaristan ve Suriye ile sınır ötesi işbirliği programları uygulamaya konulmuş-tur. On beş yılı aşkın süredir deneyimlenen sınır ötesi işbirliği programları aracılığı ile özellikle Edirne ve Kırklareli illerinde yüzlerce proje gerçekleştirilmiş ve bu alanda bir kurumsal yapı oluşmuştur. Bu çalışma, 2013 yılında gerçekleştirilen bir saha çalışmasına dayanarak Edirne-Kırklareli bölgesindeki sınır öte-si işbirliği deneyimini incelemektedir. MEGARON 2014;9(3):228-240 MAKALE / ARTICLE
