The concept of “border as method” views the border as an episteme that questions the relation of knowledge to action by adopting the logic of the border as an approach to research border multiplicities beyond territoriality and hegemonic paradigms.

Border thinking is a concept which constitutes a way of thinking that derives from the borderlands, is deeply rooted in the subaltern experience of coloniality, and which proposes alternative, decolonial ways of knowing, thinking, and becoming.

The ‘borderscapes’ approach overcomes thinking of borders in terms of territorial orders and reconstructs the (de)stabilization of borders through the complex interplay of their social effects and negotiations.

Migration is a worldwide, historical phenomenon of residential relocation, embedded in the political, legal, socio-demographic and economic framework in both the countries of origin and destination, and it is subject to constant change.

Approaching borders from a temporal perspective allows one to imagine them simultaneously as multilayered products of continuous temporal negotiations and as active producers of uneven temporal order(s).
