B/ORDERS ARE (NOT) EVERYWHERE (FOR EVERYONE). On the Multivalence of Borders in a Flee(t)ing Europe | Zur Multivalenz von Grenzen in einem flüchtigen Europa

Abstract

ENGLISH While the materialities and functionalities of borders have changed drastically in recent decades, the ordering principle of the border persists. At the same time, the selective character of borders is emerging with a clarity that has hardly been seen in Europe before. This is the point of departure for the issue papers, which discuss the observation that borders do not have the same significance for all people. For this purpose, the authors work with the concept of multivalence, which assumes that borders have social valences or relevances that differ regarding certain groups of people. The thematic issue with case studies of govern-ance, flight, reporting, film, and literature shows multiple valences of borders, which stand for inequalities and refer to powerful cultural orders. ________________________ Français Alors que la matérialité et le fonctionnement des frontières ont considérablement changé au cours des dernières décennies, le principe ordonnateur de la frontière persiste. Le caractère sélectif des frontières se dessine avec une netteté jusqu'ici inconnue en Europe. C'est à partir de là que les textes du cahier discutent de l'observation selon laquelle les frontières n'ont pas la même signification pour tous les êtres humains. Pour ce faire, les auteurs utilisent le concept de multivalence, qui suppose que les frontières possèdent des valences sociales ou des pertinences qui se distinguent en fonction de certains groupes de personnes. Ce cahier thématique, qui présente des études de cas de la gouvernance, de la fuite, du reportage, du cinéma et de la littérature, montre les multiples valences des frontières, qui sont synonymes d'inégalités et renvoient à des ordres culturels puissants. ________________________ Deutsch Während sich die Materialitäten und Funktionsweisen von Grenzen in den letzten Jahrzehnten drastisch verändert haben, besteht das ordnende Prinzip der Grenze weiter fort. Dabei zeichnet sich der selektive Charakter von Grenzen in einer in Europa bisher kaum gekannten Deutlichkeit ab. Hier setzen die Beiträge an und diskutieren die Beobachtung, dass Grenzen nicht für alle Menschen in gleicher Weise bedeutsam sind. Dafür arbeiten die Autor:innen mit dem Begriff der Multivalenz, der unterstellt, dass Grenzen soziale Wertigkeiten oder Relevanzen besitzen, die sich mit Blick auf bestimmte Personengruppen unterscheiden. Das Themenheft mit Analysebeispielen von Governance, Flucht, Berichterstattung, Film und Literatur zeigt multiple Valenzen von Grenzen auf, die für Ungleichheiten stehen und auf wirkmächtige kulturelle Ordnungen verweisen.
