Resumo

This Round table reflects on the concept of “borders” in the crossroads of different disciplines, theoretical frameworks and debates and in a dialogue with Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson’s book Border as Method (2013). In this book, its authors chart the proliferation of borders generated by contemporary globalization, investigating its implications for migratory movements, capitalist transformations, and political life. They explore the atmospheric violence that surrounds borderlands and border struggles across various geographical scales, illustrating their theoretical arguments with illuminating case studies drawn from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, and elsewhere. Mezzadra and Neilson approach the border not only as a research object but also as an epistemic framework. Their use of the border as method enables new perspectives on the crisis and transformations of the nation-state, as well as powerful reassessments of political concepts such as citizenship and sovereignty.
