Borders, Bodies and Narratives of Crisis in Europe

Autor Thanasis Lagios, Vasia Lekka, Grigoris Panoutsopoulos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2018
This book addresses two interrelated discourses of crisis in contemporary Europe: the migrant crisis vs. the economic crisis. The chapters shed light on the thread that links these two issues by first examining immigration and the transformations regarding its control and administration via border technologies, as well as on the centrality of the body as a means and carrier of border within contemporary biopolitical societies. In a second step, the authors proceed  to a genealogy of the current discourses regarding the financial and political crisis through a Foucauldian and Lacanian perspective, focusing on the co-articulation of scientific knowledge and biopolitical power in Western societies.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book critically discusses two crises that shape our present: migration crisis and 2007–2008 crisis. The first part raises several questions regarding migration, borders, labour, humanitarianism and biopolitics; the second part focuses on the false dilemma between an interpretation of contemporary crisis in the West as capitalist or humanist.

Caracteristici

Uncovers multiple dimensions of the technoscientific mechanisms of control of immigration and re-reads them through the prism of the 2008 crisis Juxtaposes the lived experience of migration, i.e. the body against the border, with and its narrative/discourse in the form of a geneaology of crisis Draws on several theoretical traditions to decide whether the current migration crisis is in fact a crisis or something endemic to capitalism
