Urban Borderlands, Citizenship, and the Politics of Contestation
Henrik Lebuhn, HU Berlin

Abstract
Various countries in the world have seen a proliferation of borders over the past few decades. Ratherthan leading to a world of free migration and mobility, globalization appears to have transformed the oldlines of territorial demarcation. New regimes of control and exclusion have emerged that expand into thepublic and private spaces of everyday life, far from any actual border. Simultaneously, immigrant rights
movements have mobilized against restrictive border policies and progressive politicians andadministrative agencies have developed strategies to maintain or create social entitlements for citizens
and denizens alike. In this process, cities with their institutional density and as hubs of migration havebecome an important arena, where the connection between borders and citizenship is negotiated,contested, and re-shaped “on the ground.” This concerns not only the regulation of regional labormarkets, but also access to education, housing, health care, and cultural citizenship. This lecture draws
from research in Europe and North America, and offers a conceptual framework that links border studies
with research on urban citizenship and presents a comparative approach that explores the socio-politicalforces and effects at work in different settings.

Borders are generally understood as lines and edges. They also signify the spatial
separation or division between distinct entities. However, such recognitions haveincreasingly become obsolete in understanding how borders function in the immenselycomplicated world we live today. From this perspective, we face the risk of anincreasing disconnection between the complexity of the world on the one hand, and thelack of imagination with which borders and bordering practices continued to be dealt
with on the other. Therefore, we need to revisit borders in terms of the constantly
changing political and social contexts to comprehend their “undetermined” nature intime and space.
Some new approaches to Border Studies have offered new understandings of borderspaces as processes. Borders are constantly being imagined and reimagined. What needs
to be examined is the following: By whom, how, and why are borders created? Whoseinterests and motivations are served? How may we conceptualize the multifaceted andever-changing nature of borders? These questions lead to the pursuit of a criticalunderstanding of “the socially constructed nature of borders.”============Engendering Borders: Women and Children Living in the China-Hong Kong

Abstract
Advances in transportation and communication technology and the accelerated
process of globalization have prompted some to envision a borderless world. Instead, inthe past decade we have witnessed increasingly uninhibited anti-migration movements,
which have culminated in the election of a commander-in-chief in the most powerfulcountry of the world whose foremost agenda includes building a wall to fend off
immigrants from neighboring countries. Border-crossing, border politics, andborderlands are therefore three simultaneous processes in the contemporary world.
Although recent studies of borderlands have attempted to adopt a bottom-up perspectivethat foregrounds the impacts of bordering on the lives of ordinary people, insufficientattention has been paid to the gender dynamics of this process. Using the experiences ofcross-border families living in and around the China-Hong Kong borderland, this paper
examines how female marriage migrants and their families are constrained by borderregimes, stigmatized by border politics, and actively build a life around bordering. This

case study underlines the tension between globalization, the persistent salience of borderregimes, and the conflicts of interest between communities and individuals located on
different sides of the border. It also brings to the forefront the intersectionality of border
politics and traditional axes of inequality including, but not limited to gender.
