本文提出了边界的认识论，本体论和经验的交叉点与暴力和冲突，这仍然是在关键的边界研究不足的理解。具体而言，本文探讨了最近的跨学科研究的潜力，边境移民关系，找到关键资源，可能会促进更好地了解边界，暴力和冲突之间的复杂关系。从这个观点来看，边界不仅是主权国家暴力的发源地，而且被重新设想为边界景观的边界也可以被看作是生成性斗争的场所，在那里可以形成替代性的主体性和能动性。文章最后呼吁应用，承诺，并从事研究，能够恢复其内在的政治层面走向“希望的政治”，超越简单化，但占主导地位的解释边界暴力冲突的交叉点，这是困在“恐惧的政治”。
This article advances the understanding of borders with respect to their epistemological, ontological, and empirical intersections with violence and conflict, which remain understudied within critical border studies. Specifically, the article explores the potential of recent interdisciplinary research on the border-migration nexus to find critical resources that might foster a better understanding of the complex relationships between borders, violence, and conflict. From this viewpoint, the border is not only a site of the founding violence of the sovereign power, but borders - reconceived as borderscapes - can also be regarded as a site of generative struggles where alternative subjectivities and agencies could be shaped. The article concludes with a call for an applied, committed, and engaged research capable of recovering its inherently political dimension moving towards a 'politics of hope' and beyond the simplistic yet dominant interpretations of the border-violence-conflict intersections, which are trapped in the 'politics of fear'.
