[en] Luxembourg is characterized by phenomena of mobility that include cross-border
commuters and residential migrants. While both groups have been mainly examined
from a socioeconomic perspective, this paper adopts a sociocultural approach. We
will focus on the question of the extent to which cross-border mobility in everyday life
promotes cross-border lifeworlds. This will involve examining people’s social contacts
at their place of work and/or place of residence as well as the spatial organization of
practices of the everyday life of both groups. The paper gives insights into everyday
lives at the EU’s internal borders, whose organization into nation states is subordinate
and at the same time constitutive.
