In recent years, a growing number of scholars in the social sciences are working on migration with a transnational and cosmopolitan perspective as well as on borders. This volume is the outcome of the international seminar called Transnational Migrations and Dis-Located Borders , held at the Doctoral School in Anthropology and Epistemology of Complexity of the University of Bergamo in June 2008. The seminar aimed at bringing together some internationally well-known scholars in different research fields and at encouraging discussion on such themes within a crossdisciplinary conversation.
