Borderscapes Inside Out
Rethinking Borders Through a Complexity Lens
This article aims to explore the potential of a complexity approach for promoting a more comprehensive understanding of b/ordering processes and their relation to contemporary post-global phenomena. Specifically, the paper - which is theoretical rather than empirical - sets out two aims. On the one hand, to show how a complexity approach - with a focus on Morin’s “complex thought” - is helpful for advancing research on borders, thereby establishi…

Revisiting ‘Bordering, Ordering and Othering’
‘Bordering, Ordering and Othering’ is a landmark in the scholarship of the ‘processual turn’ in border studies. This commentary provides some reflections on van Houtum and van Naerssen’s paper that seek to foster not only an appreciation of the research avenues it has opened but also a critical interrogation of its shortcomings. Rethinking borders as processes has significantly contributed to the conceptual evolution of borders. And yet, I am con…
Rethinking borders, violence, and conflict
This article advances the understanding of borders with respect to their epistemological, ontological, and empirical intersections with violence and conflict, which remain understudied within critical border studies. Specifically, the article explores the potential of recent interdisciplinary research on the border-migration nexus to find critical resources that might foster a better understanding of the complex relationships between borders, vio…

Exploring the Critical Potential of the Borderscapes Concept
The conceptual evolution of borders has been characterised by important changes in the last twenty years. After the processual shift of the 1990s (from border to bordering), in recent years there has been increasing concern about the need to critically question the current state of the debate on the concept of borders. Within this framework, this article explores the critical potential of the borderscapes concept for the development of alternativ…
New approach in border studies
This paper proposes re‐thinking the relationship between EU(rope) and Africa as an expression of the complex dynamics produced through the construction of what we define as the European‐African borderland. We focus attention on the plural character of such a borderland, by assuming it not only as geographic territorial but also political, symbolic, cultural‐anthropological, and epistemological. By taking this view, the paper attempts to contempla…
Borders and identities/border identities
This article addresses the case of the African border between Angola and Namibia focusing on its linear part between the Kunene River, in the West, and the Okavango River, in the East. An area inhabited by the Kwanyama people. Drawing on both the Angola‐Namibia border's symbolic meanings and its effects on the Kwanyama people's everyday life, we propose the idea of borders as social practice and discourse. We attempt to investigate the Angola‐ Na…
