“Anthropology, border regimes and European crises. Questioning legacies and
futures”

*Convenors*
Francesco Vacchiano (ICS-UL, Lisbon)

*Short Abstract*
This panel aims at bringing together contributions which combine
ethnography and analysis in order to discuss the ongoing 'migration crisis'
- its categories and outcomes - and, in general, the European border
regimes.
*Long Abstract*
The interest for boundaries is not new in anthropology, but has taken on a
new relevance due to the propagation of confines in the daily experience of
people around the world. Anthropologists have contributed to investigate
contemporary 'border regimes' by mobilizing their research traditions in
the analysis of structures of power, forms of agency, narratives of race
and identity, explanatory categories associated to borders. Nonetheless,
borders are stronger than ever, due also to the narratives of crisis that
pervade the European societies and increasingly include mobility in their
descriptions. Particularly, the recent 'refugee crisis' and the set of
institutional responses put in place to deal with it (see the European
Agenda on Migration) show the consequences of thinking mobility as an
emergency. Is this umpteenth 'crisis' really unprecedented? What are the
moral and political consequences of figuring it as such? How is similar or
different to others? Is this narrative functional to a new project of
domination? What are the legacies/continuities with the past? What could
we, as anthropologists and citizens, reasonably advocate for? These
questions are even more compelling since 'border regimes' are ways of
shaping social and political futures.
This panel aims at bringing together contributions which analyse the
ongoing 'migration crisis' - its categories and outcomes - and, in general,
the European border regimes. We welcome proposals which combine ethnography
and analysis in order to explore the notion of crisis, the consequences on
people, the legacies of the past and the possible futures.
