#17 BIG Podcast - “Border Film and Border Studies” - With: Michael Dear – Professor Emeritus of City & Regional Planning at UC Berkeley, California, United States 26.03.2023

Borders are legal constructs: conventional lines on maps, landmarks on the ground, zone of cooperation, control and violence. But borders are also an artistic object. Sometimes, it is the border itself which is the support of a work of art. Other times, they appear in works of photography, comics, and in movies. Today we are going to talk about “Border Film” with Michael Dear who has just publishe...

#16 BIG Podcast - “Popular Protest, the Middle East and Borders” - With: Michael J. Carpenter – Political Scientist at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada, and Managing Editor of BIG Review 31.01.2023

The Middle East is the name of a complex geographical region comprising different countries and cultures between Europe, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and Asia. It is also a space where many conflicts have existed and continue to exist today, in particular the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These disputes linked to a complex historical, religious and political situation should not obscure the prese...

Les régions frontalières et transfrontalières sont au cœur de la construction européenne. La cohésion territoriale est l’un des objectifs de l’Union européenne : cette politique vise à réduire les écarts de niveaux de vie et de développement dans les régions de l’UE. La Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière est une agence française qui aide à la compréhension des enjeux des espaces transfrontali...

#13 BIG Podcast - “Frontières internes et frontières externes de l’Union européenne” – Avec: Frédérique Berrod – Professeure à Sciences Po Strasbourg, France 13.10.2022

L’Union européenne poursuit le projet de créer une intégration juridique entre différents Etats sur le plan institutionnel et le plan matériel. Mais quels sont ses effets sur les frontières entre les Etats qui la composent ? En outre, le droit de l’UE développe une régulation juridique propre. Que sont les frontières internes de l’UE? Et que sont les frontières externes de l’UE ? Dans ce paysage c...

#12 BIG Podcast - “Borderities and Territorialities of Indigenous Peoples” - With: Brian Thom – Associate Professor in the department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada 05.09.2022

Indigenous Peoples have a profound relationship with the land, the water and all the interlinked ecosystems. These relations are the basis of their conditions of existence and of their cultural, legal and political system. Better understanding this complexity of the existential interrelations of Indigenous peoples means better improving the government-to-government relationships and the consolidat...

#11 BIG Podcast - “Security of Borders and Security of Transnational Flows” - With: Alan Bersin – Executive Chairman of Altana AI and former U.S. Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection 01.08.2022

Transnational flows cross borders and reveal national and international security issues. New technologies such as BIG DATA, artificial intelligence and Machine Learning are mobilized to secure the movement and circulation of data, goods and people. Border lines are no longer the main place for checks and controls. It is this paradigm shift in the analysis and governance of borders that is the subj...

#10 BIG Podcast - "Frontières et Espaces Transfrontaliers: Entre Théories et Pratiques" - Avec: Grégory Hamez – Professeur de Géographie et d’Aménagement, Université de Lorraine 04.07.2022

Les frontières sont des délimitations juridiques de territoires d’Etats souverains et jouent en principe le rôle de barrière a la coopération transfrontalière. Néanmoins, sous l’impulsion des Etats comme de l’Union européenne, on observe également l’émergence d’espaces transfrontaliers et de régions transfrontalières fonctionnelles. Comment cerner leur apparition et les enjeux qui les caractérisen...

#9 BIG Podcast - "Geopolitics of Borders and Border Walls" – Avec : Elisabeth Vallet – Professeur de Géographie et d'Etudes Internationales, Montréal, Québec 06.06.2022

Globalization is a complex and plural phenomenon. Some have been able to evoke a world without borders and the disappearance of States, but we rather observe the construction of many walls and barriers. Some flows can cross territorial boundaries without problem while some borders become places of violence for humans. What geopolitics of borders and border walls at a time of a plurality of globali...

#8 BIG Podcast - "Renforcer le droit de l’asile ; Repenser le droit du territoire" – Avec : Thibaut Fleury Graff – Professeur de droit international public, Université de Paris-Saclay, France 02.05.2022

Qu’est-ce que le droit de l’asile ? Quelles sont ses relations avec les frontières et les territoires ? Faut-il abandonner la notion de souveraineté et repenser le droit international sur la base de la notion de la compétence ? De nombreuses questions se posent à l’heure de la globalisation. Nous tenterons d’y voir un peu plus clair avec le professeur de droit Thibaut Fleury Graff. What is the rig...

#7 BIG Podcast - "The Resilience of Indigenous Peoples Across Borders" - With: Patrick Lozar – Assistant Professor in History, University of Victoria, British-Columbia, Canada 04.04.2022

Borders between States are modern legal constructions. With colonial expansion, indigenous communities came to be cut into several pieces by many territorial boundaries. This is the case of the 49th parallel which serves as the border between Canada and the United States. How have indigenous peoples resisted the spatial imposition of these linear legal fictions? Elements of responses with the hist...
