Kinnvall with a new book chapter

Catarina Kinnvall has published a book chapter in “Routledge Handbook of Critical International Relations” (edited by Jenny Edkins), entitled “Racing to the bottom, squeezing through the cracks: Imagining unbordered space”.

The chapter examines the possibility of an expanded imagination of space as unbordered. It details how immigration and refugee policies and bordering practices in Europe intersect with populist discourses and the emotional and embodied structures that supports them, and asks how other imaginings might be possible. 

Drawing on Lacan, Kinnvall argues that existing fantasies of space are incomplete, unfinished narratives, and that fidelity to the cracks they contain may lead to traversing the fantasy that sustains bordered space and open the possibility of alternative imaginaries.
