Description
For a decade now, borders in Europe have been back on the political agenda. Border research has responded and is breaking new ground in thinking about and exploring borders. This book follows this development and strengthens a perspective that is interested in life realities and that focuses on everyday cultural experiences of borders. The authors reconstruct such experiences in the context of different forms of migration and mobility as well as language contact situations and are sensitive to the freedom of the participants. In this way, they empirically identify everyday cultural usage or appropriation strategies of borders as vastly different experiences of borders. The readers of this volume will gain insights into current developments in border research and liefe realities in Europe where borders are (made) relevant.

Reviews
»Due to the strong representation of research on the Greater Region, this volume makes a significant contribution to research on border crossings in this area. Border Experiences in Europe provides insights both into concepts that enhance understanding of how border residents in their everyday practices produce, challenge, contest, dissolve and maintain borders.«
Tracie L. Wilson, Journal of Borderland Studies 3/2022
»... like few edited collections this book provides the reader with powerful and substantiated ideas and excellent cases studies while opening new venues in cultural border studies... What is praise-worthy in this volume is that Wille and Nienaber also focus on the ordinary lives of everyday individuals in contemporary borderlands through themes that are also found in the literary world.«
