In recent years, scholarly interest in boundaries and boundary work, on the one hand, and borders and bordering, on the other, has flourished across disciplines. Notwithstanding the close relationship between the two concepts, “borders” and “boundaries” have largely been subject to separate scholarly debates, or sometimes treated as synonymous. These trends point to an important lack of...

Cross-border marriages between citizens with a migration background and spouses from non-EU countries have been politicised and restricted across Europe.

Specifically, it argues that feminist standpoint theory and the situated knowledge paradigm can contribute to critically interrogating key concepts in the field and...

En Suisse, l’immigration est réglementée par la Loi sur l’Asile (LAsi) et la Loi sur les étrangers (LEtr), deux textes de lois qui ont pour conséquences de catégoriser les personnes présentes sur le territoire et produire de la clandestinité. En effet, les personnes sans statut de séjour légal, les sans-papiers, sont en dehors de la législation et doivent trouver des stratégies...
