Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and
relations that are particularly useful for examining border regions in
which social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. The authors of this
volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in crossborder
contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional, and media practices.
The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces
and identities linked to governmental issues of standardization and
subjectivation. Research is based on empirical surveys conducted in
Germany, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
