Journal of Intercultural Studies Special Issue

As part of our commitment to contribute thought-provoking insights to the academic discourse on borders and their various manifestations, we are working on a Special Issue that exemplifies bordering practices from diverse settings and multiple perspectives. This Special Issue, entitled Borderscapes - The de/construction of borders as an everyday practice,

is grounded in critical and decolonial approaches to bordering practices, challenging the naturalisation of boundaries in human experience.

The Special Issue will be published in the Journal of Intercultural Studies (Taylor & Francis), and online publication is expected for the end of 2025.

Contributions draw from a range of perspectives and disciplinary approaches and are authored by scholars at different stages of their careers and based in different parts of the world. The articles incorporate political, linguistic, semiotic, discursive and literary frameworks exemplified in global settings, providing a range of conceptualisations and understandings of the border – from the hard, bureaucratised borders of current nation-states through to the mobile borders experienced in elite forms of border-crossing; and from the multilingual borderscapes narrated by migrants to the construction of indigeneity via border-(un)making, and the literary deconstruction of academic bordering to foster the sustainability of vulnerable ecosystems.
