Current edited volume 

Identity and the Dynamics of Border Crossing.

This interdisciplinary volume brings together international scholars to examine how borders—both physical and symbolic—shape identity, culture, migration, media, and religion in today’s interconnected world.

"The theorist who attempts to define what a border is in danger of going round in circles, as the very representation of the border is the precondition for any definition."
Étienne Balibar
