We are pleased to invite you to the 33rd seminar of the Researchers on the Border (Badaczki i Badacze na Granicy) group. This edition is organized in collaboration with the Spectral Recycling project team and devoted to the theme of memory of borders and border-making. While previous meetings often focused on the Polish-Belarusian border, this session aims to broaden the geographical scope. We welcome researchers from disciplines such as anthropology, history, sociology, border, landscape, materiality, and performativity studies. We are looking for contributions exploring how state or regional borders impact the daily lives of local and national communities.
