The concept of “boundary” has been explored in various perspectives in sociology, including symbolic, moral, cultural, and social boundaries. However, after Nobel Laureate, Paul Crutzen proposed the concept of Anthropocene, it has gained additional importance because of its central concept: “planetary boundaries” in the realm of atmospheric chemistry. In this new usage, it has become a time-sensitive concept, whereas it was previously mostly spatial. In this respect, it is important to discuss this concept from the viewpoint of process-oriented social research, which pays special attention to time. There will be several topics, such as the transformation process of boundaries of various types, and boundaries that determine whether to change or not because the process concept inevitably includes “change.” This session welcomes all types of papers investigating this area.
