"Encounters with difference in European borderlands"
Session convenors: Bas Spierings (Utrecht University) and Martin van der Velde (Radboud University Nijmegen)
The European Union aims to promote cross-border mobility and community building through the removal of physical borders between member states. Despite such endeavors, mental interpretations of international differences still have important implications for daily life and especially for people living close to borders or in ‘borderlands’. Borderlands provide many opportunities for encountering differences, including social, cultural, political, economic and physical ones. Whereas their interpretations seem rather dynamic they can be quite stable at the same time, as they may have strong historical roots. Via everyday encounters, differences with ‘the other’ and ‘the other side’ of the border are being (re)negotiated in a relational manner. For further information, please contact the Session organisers Bas Spierings and Martin van der Velde.
