Abstract

This article is about emergence of the border studies and the main questions that define the scholarship on borders. The ways in which the findings in this area have contributed to social theory specifically and the ways in which cultural studies and globalization theories as well as global discursive practices and prospects have influenced and induced new agendas of research into the traditional theoretical framework of border studies is another subtitle. Conversely, the ways in which comparative border studies and the non-Western or less-studied geographies in- form border studies is also in detail discussed in the piece. The article ends with a brief introduction of the newly-found border research networks and the ways in which they support the scholarship on border and border scholars new ways of organic engagement with the global production of knowledge.

Özet

Bu makale sınır çalışmaları alanının doğuşu ve izlediği farklı gelişim seyirleri üzerinedir. Alanın temel problematikleri, ayrışmaları, sınırları, çoklukla çalışılan coğrafyalar ve bu alandaki bulguların sosyal teoriye katkıları yazının ilk bölümünü oluşturmaktadır. Kültür çalışmalarının, küreselleşme teorilerinin ve dünya ölçeğinde değişen söylemsel pratiklerin sınır çalışmalarına ve araştırma gündemine olan etkisi ise yazıda tartışılan bir diğer konudur. Karşılaştırmalı sınır çalışmaları ve batı dışında kalan ve bugüne dek nispeten az araştırılmış coğrafyaların, sınır çalışmalarında kulanılagelen kavramları ve sorunları ne ölçüde sorgulattığı ve dönüştürdüğü ise makalenin bir diğer altbaşlığını oluşturmaktadır. Yazı son onyılda ortaya çıkan sınır araştırması ağlarının alana ve alanının küresel bilgi üretimiyle organik bir lişki içinde olabilmesi için başka ne tür kanal ve araçlara ihtiyaç duyduğunu tartışarak bitmektedir.
