Abstract:
Building on how the neighbour and neighbourhood were mobilised by activists in Madrid in the wake of the global financial crisis, this book studies and theorises how the limits of political community are made and unmade through the politics of neighbouring. The politics of neighbouring seeks to capture the contested ways in which neighbourly relations are conceived, enacted and governed by a diverse range of political actors. This includes efforts to reimagine the spaces in which political action is possible and rethink how boundaries around citizenship and political belonging are drawn. Nevertheless, the politics of neighbouring is not necessarily an emancipatory endeavour, nor does it have cosmopolitan objectives. Indeed, a politics of neighbouring is often central to how populations are managed, dominant political subjectivities fostered and where the limits between ‘us’ and ‘them’ are drawn. Rather than being a framework for emancipation or oppression, then, neighbouring is a relation through which diverse boundaries and limits are inscribed and contested.
Bios:
Dr Ari Jerrems' research focuses on border politics. He studies how notions of territory and political space are understood, enacted and experienced through bordering practices and how people are brought together and pushed apart in the process. He is interested in the colonial and postcolonial histories of borders and their everyday, urban and infrastructural dimensions.

Dr Umut Ozguc is a lecturer in Politics and International Relations. She is a critical International Relations (IR) scholar working on border politics, critical security studies, settler colonialism, and International Relations theory. Her work cuts across several disciplines mainly International Relations, Political Geography, and International Political Sociology. Umut's previous writings focused on human security, racism and managing cultural diversity. She is the co-founder/ co-convenor of the Australian Critical Border Studies Network.
Dr Kaya Barry is a cultural geographer and artist working in the areas of mobilities, migration, tourism, material cultures, and arts research. Her research explores how mobility and migration experiences are conditioned through materiality, everyday routines, and visual aesthetics. She was awarded an ARC DECRA (Australian Research Council - Discovery Early Career Researcher Award) in 2022 for a project exploring the experiences of seasonal migrants and backpackers who undertake farm work in regional Queensland.
