The optimistic vision of a borderless world which was propagated after the fall of the Iron Curtain turned out to be an illusion. The migration crisis, Brexit or the coronavirus pandemic have demonstrated that borders are still an important instrument of state policy. The aim of this article is to reflect on new trends in the sociology of borderland, in particular on the use of the concepts of narratives in urban studies. The article is the result of the workshop “Narratives and imaginaries of divided cities: between the urban sociology and the sociology of borderland” held on 15–16 October 2020 at the Centre for Regional and Borderlands Studies at the Institute of Sociology, University of Wrocław. The article presents a synthesis of the most important conclusions from the proceedings, while also discussing new research trends and challenges related to the analysis of borderlands and divided cities located}, type={Text}, title={Miasta podzielone i pogranicza w studiach socjologicznych – o wyzwaniach i kierunkach badawczych}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/235577/270718.pdf}, keywords={divided towns, borders, borderlands, narratives}, }
