Call for Papers – Emergencies and borders

The 12th UniGR-CBS Seminar Border Studies will take place at the University of Lorraine (Metz) on November 21-22, 2024.

Emergencies and borders: different perspectives on the “energy-climate” emergency in the Franco-German cultural area

The current times are shaped by a number of different crises, the succession or convergence of which can give rise to a sense of permanence and sustainability. At the same time, the concept of climate emergency has invaded a large part of the social, media and existential landscape.

The border can be treated either methodologically as a reference, or thematically as an object of study. The focus will be on cross-border dynamics, as well as material and immaterial representations of the border, and its characteristics as a performative structure.
