The government of migrant mobs: Temporary divisible multiplicities in border zones
This article engages with the production and government of migrant multiplicities in border zones of Europe, arguing that the specificity of migrant multiplicities consists in their temporary and divisible character. It is argued that there are three different forms of migrant multiplicities: (1) the multiplicity produced due to migrantsâ spatial proximity; (2) the virtual multiplicity generated through data; and (3) the visualized and narrated multiplicity that emerges from media portraits of the âspectacleâ of the arrivals of migrants. It is claimed that multiplicities are made to divide and partition the migrants and thus prevent the formation of a collective political subject. In the concluding section, the article deals with the ambivalent character of the term âthe mobâ, addressing the twofold dimension of migrant multiplicities: these are in fact generated by techniques of power, at the same time exceeding them and representing potential emerging political subjects
New Keywords: Migration and Borders
âNew Keywords: Migration and Bordersâ is a collaborative writing project aimed at developing a nexus of terms and concepts that fill-out the contemporary problematic of migration. It moves beyond traditional and critical migration studies by building on cultural studies and post-colonial analyses, and by drawing on a diverse set of longstanding author engagements with migrant movements. The paper is organized in four parts (i) Introduction, (ii) Migration, Knowledge, Politics, (iii) Bordering, and (iv) Migrant Space/Times. The keywords on which we focus are: Migration/Migration Studies; Militant Investigation; Counter-mapping; Border Spectacle; Border Regime; Politics of Protection; Externalization; Migrant Labour; Differential inclusion/exclusion; Migrant struggles; and Subjectivity

Migrantsâ displacements at the internal frontiers of Europe
Martina Tazzioli engages with displacement as a political technology for governing migrants at the internal frontiers of Europe. The chapter deals with measures of displacement that have been implemented by state authorities, for regaining control over unruly migrants by keeping them on the move. It starts by taking into account critical analyses on displacement that have politicised the notion, beyond mere spatial dislocation. Then, it draws attention to internal displacements at the FrenchâItalian border and in Calais, demonstrating that displacement measures generate migrantsâ hypermobility. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the consequences that stem from thinking displacement through mobility: it highlights the effects of containment produced by migrantsâ forced hypermobility and questions the nexus between freedom and mobility which sustains liberal political thought
