Academic research into borders is currently facing great challenges, which can be traced back to both developments in society and the subject of border studies itself, as boundaries are no longer found at the places where borderlines have been drawn and they increasingly demand multidimensional forms of access. This series of publications is expressly aimed at researchers on this subject from the humanities, cultural studies and the social sciences, who want to publish empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies, textual analyses and theoretical works from a diachronic and/or a synchronic perspective. Its aim is to raise awareness of a pool of cultural studies analyses and promote discussion and the exchange of ideas about them.

Academically sound and written in comprehensible language, the volumes in this series introduce the central research areas in, theories on and methods used in media- and communication studies, while conveying the subject’s fundamental study contents for prospective academics. The books’ consistent problem orientation and the didactic preparation of their individual chapters facilitate access to the subject’s specialist content. This series is ideally suited to exam preparation, among other things by means of summaries, questions which test knowledge, comprehension questions, charts and thematic cross-references.
