SUMMARY:Transnational connections and border power in current migration
DESCRIPTION:The  talk explores intersections between transnationalism and b
 order  studies. Understood in a specific way\, these fields of study imply
  complementary perspectives that each can inspire the  other. Based on two
  case studies\, deriving from accomplished research  projects\, the notion
 s of border dispositifs and border effects are  explored as analytical l
 enses for researching and conceptualising the nexus between transnational
   migration and border regimes.  “Border dispositif” is introduced a
 s an analytical means to facilitate  the de-reification of borders on the 
 one hand and shifting the focus to  concrete border localities where inequ
 alities are produced and negotiated under specific situational circumstanc
 es. In contrast\,  the notion of “border effect” reifies the notion of
  border in order to  capture structural effects which border regimes have 
 on transnational  migrants’ lives. Finally\, the concept of border capi
 tal is introduced as sensitizing concept to think about effects that  bord
 ers have on resources of persons who are mobile across borders. The  overa
 ll goal of the talk is to provide some ideas and concepts that  might help
  to research into and reflect about the impact of borders on inequalities 
 between mobile persons.
