Seminar: Borders, (im)mobilities and databases
Martina Tazzioli, Associate Professor in Geography at the University of Bologna, will show how European border regimes deploy “technologies of suffocation” that dismantle migrants’ life-support infrastructures, choking not only their movements but also their capacity for social reproduction and future aspirations. Paul Trauttmansdorff, STS researcher and postdoc fellow at the Technical University of Munich, will talk on” Assembling and Contesting Imaginaries of Digital Borders” and examine how European imaginaries of digital borders, centered on seamless data flows and frictionless governance, are institutionalized through eu-LISA and interoperability projects, while also highlighting their contested, dehumanizing effects and the possibilities for alternative futures. Theatre and exhibition maker Thomas Bellinck, actress and theatre maker Manizja Kouhestani, and investigative journalist and filmmaker Reza Adib will share material and artistic strategies from their works.
