This edited volume increases knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders, as well as highlights the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders. The study of borders and borderlands is growing extensively, but the experiences of children and young people in the turmoil of border changes and border crossings remain under-researched. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume has a twofold objective: to increase knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders; and to highlight the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders, with the aim of advancing the theoretical and empirical debate within border studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Borderlands Studies.

Die migrantische Mobilität im Sommer 2015 hat die europäische Flüchtlingspolitik auf den Kopf gestellt. Rechte und konservative Kräfte wurden bestärkt, aber auch die Solidaritätserfahrungen hallen immer noch nach. Wie steht es nun um die Kämpfe der Migration? Welche Kräfte haben sich durchgesetzt und welche Verschiebungen haben sich diskursiv und politisch ergeben? Und was bedeutet dies für emanzipatorische, pro-migrantische Perspektiven? Die Forschungsgruppe »Beyond Summer 15« diskutiert diese Transformation des Migrationsregimes und zeigt u.a. in den Bereichen Recht, öffentliche Debatten, zivilgesellschaftliche Interventionen und Arbeitsmarkt auf, wie um Migration gerungen wird.

The Cambridge History of American Modernism examines one of the most innovative periods of American literary history. It offers a comprehensive account of the forms, genres, and media that characterized US modernism: coverage ranges from the traditional, such as short stories, novels, and poetry, to the new media that shaped the period's literary culture, such as jazz, cinema, the skyscraper, and radio. This volume charts how recent methodologies such as ecocriticism, geomodernism, and print culture studies have refashioned understandings of the field, and attends to the contestations and inequities of race, sovereignty, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity that shaped the period and its cultural production. It also explores the geographies and communities wherein US modernism flourished-from its distinctive regions to its metropolitan cities, from its hemispheric connections to the salons and political groupings that hosted new cultural collaborations.
