This course by weaving two modes of inquiry aims to provide a space for thinking and discussing as well as intervening in how the materiality and performativity of borders operate and what they produce in different sites and moments. Building on recent scholarship in border studies and critical theory, this course aims to approach the border from the subject position the border is constructed for. In other words, this course aims to answer the question: What do we see if we look at the border from the other side?
The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of the anthropology of objects, practices and spaces of borders and borderings through implying different ethnographic concepts and methods.
Teaching activities include a series of lectures, seminars, presentations, and workshops. Class attendance is obligatory. The language of instruction is English.
