Summary note
  • Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
  • »Die Lektüre ist ausgesprochen anregend und abwechslungsreich. Wer Anregungen sucht, was alltägliche Regionalisierung im Werlenschen Sinne konkret bedeutet, der bekommt hier reichhaltige Antworten. Wer sich für das Konzept der Grenze in seinem Facettenreichtum und in seiner konzeptionellen Tiefe interessiert, auch dem sei das Buch empfohlen.«
  • »The collaborative publication of the University of Luxembourg is [...] a remarkable scientific project.«
