Consequently, the intriguing but often daunting task of understanding how a sense of place emerges, develops, and evolves has been a subject of interdisciplinary study that links the social sciences, humanities, and more recently, cognitive sciences. Since Kevin Lynch’s classic study of urban images and mental maps, borders within cities have either directly or indirectly featured as vital meaning-making elements of place identities. However, despite some remarkable precedents, analysis of political and socio-cultural borders has only begun to link place-making and bordering processes in ways that resonate with urban planning studies. In this article, we will suggest that borders emerge in the embodied creation of social space as a means to interpret the environment and stabilise ways of knowing the wider world. Building on our own previous research on participatory place-making initiatives in Berlin, we will indicate how border stories (i.e., the social communication of neighbourhood distinction, relationality, and transformation) represent vital knowledges of place. These knowledges reflect embodied experiences of place as well as contestations and tensions that characterise place development processes. Perhaps most importantly in terms of planning, the salience of urban borders lies in broadening understanding of how and why places function—or fail to function—as communities.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2183-7635}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @article{MTMT:34100349, title = {Hungary’s illiberal border politics and the exploitation of social, spatial and temporal distinctions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34100349}, author = {Scott, James W.}, doi = {10.1177/09697764231186741}, journal-iso = {EUR URBAN REG STUD}, journal = {EUROPEAN URBAN AND REGIONAL STUDIES}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {34100349}, issn = {0969-7764}, abstract = {Previous research on Hungarian right-wing populism has documented how the present government has identified different groups and individuals as threats to innate national interests and values, drawing distinctions between the ‘nation’, illegal migrants, non-heteronormative persons, liberal enemies in Brussels, George Soros and others. At the same time, the Orbán government has exploited the country’s internal divisions which, for example, reflect long-standing contestations between liberal and conservative understandings of national identity and purpose. Employing a critical border studies perspective, this article explores Hungary’s illiberal practices of socio-cultural, spatial and temporal border-making. These are central to Hungary’s project of ‘illiberal democracy’ and the forging of a political environment that marginalizes alternative viewpoints and that extends into the organization of civil society and everyday life. European dimensions of the Hungarian regime’s border politics are also briefly discussed in terms of evoking liberal-conservative divides and Hungary’s claims for greater national recognition as a defender of Europe’s Christian heritage. In the concluding section, the potential significance of Hungarian illiberal politics in terms of an erosion of social cohesion both nationally and within the European Union will be considered.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1461-7145}, pages = {14-28}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @inbook{MTMT:34541686, title = {Research Note: Border Studies as an “Evolutionary” Research Field}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34541686}, author = {Scott, James W.}, booktitle = {Cross-Border Review: Yearbook 2023}, unique-id = {34541686}, year = {2023}, pages = {1-14}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @{MTMT:34541634, title = {Transcending Borders and Boundaries through Dialogue: The 2023 Cross-Border Review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34541634}, author = {Scott, James W.}, booktitle = {Cross-Border Review: Yearbook 2023}, unique-id = {34541634}, year = {2023}, pages = {1-6}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @book{MTMT:34541400, title = {Cross-Border Review: Yearbook 2023}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34541400}, editor = {Scott, James W.}, publisher = {CESCI}, unique-id = {34541400}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} } @{MTMT:34121373, title = {Introduction to the book.

During the last 70 years, the EU managed to generate a new discourse on geographic space opposing the nation-state model profoundly connected to the concept of ‘territoriality’ inherited from the modernity. The EU challenges this modernist concept by creating alternative discourses on space represented by a diverse set of governance structures, including the criss-crossing international (European Union, Schengen Zone, Monetary Union, etc.) the transnational (macro-regional strategies) and the local/regional level (Euroregions, twin-cities, European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation, i.e. EGTC). In this chapter, the authors position the EGTC within the MLG system of the EU with a focus on the role of the groupings in re-shaping the modernist concept of territoriality (marked with strictly protected borders) by creating a new dimension of cross-border spatial integration stretching over administrative borders. When doing this, the EGTCs contribute to the re-interpretation of European space and generate a new discourse on territoriality—within the frames of a new approach to territorial cohesion.}, keywords = {discourse theory; multi-level governance; territorial cohesion; soft spaces; EGTC}, year = {2023}, pages = {191-209}, orcid-numbers = {Scott, James W./0000-0001-6092-9784} }
