The talk will start by providing conceptual definitions and historical instances of the nexus between borders and migration from the angle of a critical theory of capitalism. The intensification of conflicts involving mobility around and across borders will then be discussed within a global framework and with a specific focus on Europe. The point will be made that such conflicts cannot be considered as pertaining to the margins of established political spaces. They rather cast a shadow on citizenship and the dynamics of labor market both in so-called countries of origin and in countries of destination of migrants. The relations between these countries will also be analyzed from the angle of the border, critically taking stock of the “postcolonial turn” in migration studies as well as of the multiple ways in which increasing “geopolitical” tensions impact on the nexus between borders and migration. The talk will end with an emphasis on the political stakes crisscrossing movements and struggles of migration across (both external and internal) borders as well as with an attempt to flesh out the lineages of a transformative border politics in hard times.
