Beyond ‘Borderism’: Overcoming Discriminative B/Ordering and Othering

Henk van Houtum

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2021, vol. 112, issue 1, 34-43

Abstract: Now, 20 years after our article “Bordering, Ordering and Othering”, the editorial team of TESG has asked me to look back on its formation, and to comment on the appraisals of its continued relevance and influence offered by Anssi Paasi, Bastian Vollmer, James Scott and Chiara Brambilla in this Forum. To this end, I will first explain what the inspiration was for our essay and will shortly revisit the geopolitical triadic frame that we proposed; then, I will discuss the reflections of the commentators while briefly analyzing how the field of border studies has developed; and lastly, I will look ahead and offer, also using their reflections, a brief research agenda to address present and upcoming b/ordering and othering challenges.
