Kämpfe für Gerechtigkeit an den Grenzen. Die Suche nach einem neuen politischen Subjekt im globalen Zeitalter

The chapter stages an encounter between border studies and postcolonial criticism against the background of the lively debates surrounding the topic of political subjectivity and justice. Starting from a discussion of the postcolonial condition, particularly in the light of the development of the "subaltern studies" project in India, the author proposes to take the border as a privileged research onject and at the same time as an epistemic angle on the political tensions and conflicts crisscrossing globalization.
