BIG_Review presents a new collection of open-access articles and artwork exploring the world of borders! Readers will find the Special Section, “Narrating Europe from the Borders: A Media Analysis of European Integration” (guest edited by Birte Wassenberg and Pierrick Bruyas) with four critical research articles and a substantive introduction. Our Portfolio features the work of Sámi artist Lena Stenberg, whose mixed-media montages blur past and present and document the historical displacement of the Sámi people across Nordic state borders. The new issue also includes three policy reports, border poetry, an urgent dispatch from Nicodème Emerusabe, and much more. We hope you enjoy, and please share!
