*Embodying social and political transformations in borderlands:
anthropological analyses

*Short abstract*
This panel analyses how social and political transformations are embodied
in borderlands (where ethnic groups share similar ecological areas and
cultural habits but have been divided into different nations) with a
specific focus on migration processes, ecological changes and shifts in
gender roles
*Long abstract*
This panel aims to explore the ways in which social and political
transformation is embodied through cultural practices, norms and rituals in
borderlands, in geographical areas where ethnic groups share similar
historical experiences, ecological areas and cultural habits but have been
divided into different nations as a consequence of wars, environmental
catastrophes or other less dramatic geopolitical readjustments. How do
these borderland communities deal with current transformations linked to
global phenomena such as migration, ecological changes, shifts in gender
roles? How do they mark these changes ritually and how do they adapt their
social norms?
We are particularly interested in ethnographically grounded papers that
explore these issues focusing on how social and political changes are
embodied in the following contexts:
- Bounded spaces and its transformations (e.g. new infrastructural frames,
transit and transport possibilities)
- Transgression and crossing of borders
- Ecological changes and the return of wilderness (e.g. ecological
catastrophes,
reintroduction of animal species, establishment of ecologically protected
areas etc.)
- Relationship to borderlands of humans and non-humans
- Ways of framing migration processes
- Embodied bordering related to ethnic difference
- Encounters with what is perceived or constructed as "otherness"
- Changing gender identities and gendered emancipation movements
- Experiences of liminality and rituals related to them
- Pilgrimages and religious processions
- Institutional rules on borders and local power relations
