Border Thinking: Disassembling Histories of Racialized Violence aims to question and provide answers to current border issues in Europe. Central to this investigation is a refugee crisis that is primarily a crisis of global Western capitalism and its components: modernization, nationalism, structural racism, dispossession, and social, political, and economic violence.

In this volume, these notions and conditions are connected with the concept of borders, which seems to have disappeared as a function of the global neoliberal economy but is palpably reappearing again and again through deportations, segregations, and war. How can we think about these relations in an open way, beyond borders? Is it possible to develop border thinking for a radical transformation, as a means to revolutionize the state of things? To do this, we must reconsider what is possible for the social and the political as well as for art and culture.

El libro Border Thinking. Disassembling Histories of Racialized Violence publicado por la Academia de Bellas Artes de Viena y editado por Marina Gržinić comprende veintiséis contribuciones de treinta autorxs (teóricxs, escritorxs, artistas, activistas, curadorxs, etc.). Cada una de ellas habla de lo que signifíca tomar una posición política, teórica y artística, principalmente en relación con una de las cuestiones centrales del libro: la política migratoria y la gestión de lxs refugiadxs impuesta por la Europa Fortaleza. No se trata de una narrativa abstracta, al contrario, insiste en que nosotrxs, lxs ciudadanxs de la Unión Europea (UE), debemos ser conscientes de nuestra responsabilidad frente a esta situación de abandono total. También subraya la importancia de entender lo que podemos esperar de la UE que organiza todos estos procesos violentos y vergonzosos de abandono total de lxs refugiadxs.
