Abstract :
[en] Border studies is seeing more and more discussion about complex borders or the complexity of borders. This article systematizes this discussion and shows that there are different views circulating about what exactly is complex at borders and that the concept of complexity is still used imprecisely. In this article, the concept of complexity will be defined in more detail and border complexities will be proposed as a perspective for an actual complexity shift in border studies. Border complexities stands for a concept that sees borders as relational structures and focuses on the unpredictable, self-dynamic interplay of their event elements and on its emergent effects of dis/order.
[de] In der Grenzforschung wird vermehrt von komplexen Grenzen oder einer Komplexität von Grenzen gesprochen. Der Beitrag systematisiert diese Debatte und zeigt, dass unterschiedliche Auffassungen darüber kursieren, was an Grenzen komplex sei und dass der Komplexitätsbegriff noch ungenau verwendet wird. Dieser wird in dem Beitrag näher bestimmt und Border Complexities als Perspektive für einen tatsächlichen complexity shift in der Grenzforschung vorgeschlagen. Border Complexities steht für ein Konzept, das Grenzen als relationale Gefüge auffasst, auf das unberechenbar-eigendynamische Zusammenwirken ihrer Geschehenselemente und auf dessen emergente Effekte der Un/Ordnung fokussiert.
