Greetings all,
Apologies for joining the discussion rather late, but I've had a chance to read you interesting contributions.
Since the issue of narrative and its importance to immigration and asylum issues has been a recurring theme in your discussions, I thought I'd share with you one of my articles which is devoted to discussing precisely that and especially in terms of the relation of narrative to ethics in the face of a growing control of asylum seekers' and immigrants' identities through surveillance technologies such as those of biometrics. Here is a link to the article: https://www.academia.edu/3264016/Recombinant_identities_biometrics_and_narrative_bioethics
Also, I saw this recently and made me ponder on the importance of taking our pedagogical activities outside of the official and traditional setting of university classrooms to the 'spaces of exception' themselves:

Would be good to hear your thought on that.
Regards,
