3. The Two-Sided Spectacle at the Border: Frontex, NGOs and the ...
Apr 26, 2021 · It examines the visual and discursive framing of the Mediterranean border by two of the most prominent actors in the field: the European Border ...
The Southern Mediterranean border has in the past decade become one of the most deeply contested political spaces in Europe and has been described as a site of the border spectacle. Drawing on textual and visual analysis of Twitter messages by two of the most prominent actors in the field, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex, and the humanitarian and medical NGO Médecins Sans Frontières, the article examines the split nature of the Mediterranean border which is, among others, visible in radically different narratives about migrants’ journeys, border deaths and living conditions. The findings challenge previous scholarship about convergence of humanitarianism and policing. The two actors are waging a fierce media battle for moral authority, where they use widely diverging strategies of claiming authority, each of which carries a particular set of ethical dilemmas.
4. Performing Statelessness In Europe by S.E. Wilmer (review)
Jan 6, 2021 · Asylum! (1994), which depicts an asylum seeker from Uganda caught up in arbitrary border controls and anti-immigrant hostility in Ireland; and ...
Performing Statelessness in Europe is a timely addition to the study of how performance intervenes into the politics of migration, the dispossessed, and nation-state borders. It presents a lucid series of case studies of European theatre practices by and about refugees and the displaced that engage with the ongoing political dynamics of the European Union's migrant policies. The EU's immigration system comprises an evolving arrangement of measures and agreements on migration, border control, security plans, and asylum procedures that have come to function as more of a barrier to migration than an effective solution. The lack of a cohesive approach has compounded the EU's ability to manage the large flow of people fleeing war, instability, and authoritarian rule in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia since 2015. Refugee and asylum seekers who do arrive in the EU, often by treacherous boat crossings or illegal smuggling networks, may also encounter xenophobic sentiments in the host nation-state, partly due to the rise of nationalist movements across Europe. The complexities of this situation—fueled by divergent policies, procedures, and attitudes—shape S.E. Wilmer's focus on performance strategies that "address matters relating to social justice" (2). Conditions of statelessness and the dispossessed therefore form the basis of this inquiry into a wide range of work, spanning decades, by creative artists and theatre-makers in the UK, Ireland, Germany, and other European nation-sta...

8. Touring borderland Europe in airport cinema in: Screen borders

This chapter focuses on a particular brand of cinematic travel undertaken within the confines of ‘Fortress Europe’ and inspired by travel interactions. I label this practice ‘touring’, a variant of tourism that frequently overlaps with other types of mobility. It will be examined through the lens of airport cinema, a term that encompasses both air travel and the more frequent use of the airport itself as a setting. Collectively touring films present Europe as a productive border zone similar to what Étienne Balibar has termed ‘borderland Europe’, within which the filmmakers in question interrogate national identity and investigate what it means to belong to a broader European category that Balibar names ‘multiple-citizenship’. This chapter focuses on air travel because – while not something generally perceived as particularly cinematic – it has had a dramatic impact on how Europeans perceive space and their own relationships to borders within the context of Europe’s new geographies. This new form of mobility has not only facilitated long-distance travel within Europe; it has also – like the tunnels and high-speed rail discussed in Chapter 1 – engendered dramatic realignments of spatial dynamics within and across nations, and new and sometimes challenging relationships with local residents. The chapter covers nine examples, from Philippe Lioret’s 1993 Tombés du ciel through two final films covered in more detail: L’Italien, by Olivier Baroux (2010) and Viagem a Portugal (Sérgi...
