However, the transition follows different paths in different countries. This becomes especially visible in border regions. The paper aims to identify specific features of the energy transition(s) in two European border regions. With the help of Border Studies and a borderlands systematics, upheavals in energy production and related negotiation processes can be ana-lysed and classified. Our paper focuses on the border regions of SaarLorLux (Germany-France-Luxembourg) and Saxony-Lower Silesia (Germany-Poland). We classify the French nuclear power plant Cattenom on the border to Germany and Luxembourg and the Polish opencast mine Tur{\´o}w on the border to Germany and the Czech Republic as conflictual examples, while the hydrogen initiative Grande Region Hydrogen and the twin city of G{\"o}rlitz-Zgorzelec can be considered interlinked areas. With the help of borderlands systematics light can be shed on comparable energy paths in the two border regions. This will also demonstrate the added value of the developed systematics.}, language = {en} } @misc{BembnistaStoustrupSommer, author = {Bembnista, Kamil and Stoustrup, Sune and Sommer, Vivien}, title = {Lost in Space: Introducing the spatial dispositif in space-sensitive discourse research}, series = {Journal for discourse studies}, volume = {9}, journal = {Journal for discourse studies}, number = {2}, issn = {2195-867X}, pages = {291 -- 309}, abstract = {The appearance of New Materialism has brought about a rupture in the social sciences and opened new positions to analyze social entities like space. In our contribution, we claim that it also offers a starting point for theoretical considerations in reference to the relationship between discourse, space and materiality - especially regarding the perspective of materialization beyond a culture-nature-dichotomy. In our research on the German-Polish border area, we combined  classical  studies of newspapers with the study of discursive practices among local residents. Here, the questions that arose for us were: To what extent is material space important for our discourse analysis? And how can it be included as an element in our conceptualization of discourse on space?}, language = {en} }
