How are borders and time related? Are borders shifting state lines embedded in history, landscape and cultural heritage? Are borders places where new understandings of time and space can emerge? Are the temporalities of borders the material appearance, transformation and disappearance of borders, or the social practices that leave us with traces of time, tidelines, phantom or ghost borders? Have we paid enough attention to the experiences of people of different ages crossing borders?

This special section of Borders in Globalization Review presents twelve articles developed from papers presented on the conference on “Borders in Flux and Border Temporalities in and beyond Europe”, which was organised by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) and the Transfrontier Euro-Institut Network (TEIN) in cooperation with the UniGR-Center for Border Studies and Borders in Globalization (BIG) on 15 and 16 December 2022 in Belval, Luxembourg.

The conference explored the temporal dimension of borders, borderlands and border regions. The articles shed light on temporalities of borders by exploring the relationship between temporalities—in their broadest sense, understood as the way time is experienced and lived—on the one hand, and border practices, border discourses, and border regimes on the other. They focus on four approaches: past, present, future and borders; diachronic studies of borders and border regions; age and borders; and new understandings of time and space at the border.
