Ignorance and Change analyses the European refugee crisis of
2015-2016 from the perspective of ignorance studies showing how the
media, decision-makers and academics engaged in the projection and
reification of the future in relation to the crisis, the asylum
system, and the solutions that were proposed. Why do recent crises
fail to bring meaningful change? Why do we often see replication of
the regimes of ignorance, inefficient knowledge and expertise
practices? This book answers these questions by shifting the focus
from the issue of change to our projections and expectations of
what change will look like. Building on three comprehensive case
studies, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, it demonstrates how
ignorance and projectivity were essential for new Member States not
only for managing the crisis but also for reaching a higher level
of autonomy in relation to the EU. Employing an innovative
interactional approach to ignorance, it bridges ignorance studies
with sociology of future and migration research. Challenging the
dominant interest in defining ignorance, it moves the focus from
what ignorance is to what ignorance does. It incorporates the
concept of future into ignorance studies and develops notions such
as "projective agency," "reification of the future," "projection by
proxy," and "projectors of EU asylum policies." The book provides
an erudite background, comprehensive empirical research, and
original tools of analysis for graduate students, researchers, and
policy makers interested in crisis studies, public policy,
ignorance studies, social theory, migration studies, and sociology
of the future.
