Episode #6: The Social Dimension of State Borders

The term ‘border’ can mean different things in different contexts and can be given lots of attributions, whether political, social or moral. Borders could be seen as threatening, as a rejection, as a safety blanket etc. This episode is part of a mini series of episodes dealing with the subject of borders, especially state borders in Europe, their internalization and effect on different areas of society.In the third episode, anthropologist and Gender Studies scholar Elissa Helms (Central European University) and historian Albert Manke (University of Göttingen) talk about the social dimension of borders.LinksResearch Group "Internalizing Borders" at ZiF, October 2023 - July 2024We are grateful for the intro by Niklas Schönfeld, for the voice recordings of Molina Panzner and Erica Shires and for the podcast cover by Corinna Mehl.If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions, you can email the ZiF communications team at [email protected] or get in touch via Instagram at @zif_bielefeld.
