Examining how migrants appropriate mobility in the context of
biometric border controls, this volume mobilises new analytics and
empirics in the debates about the politics of migration and
provides an analytically effective and politically significant tool
for the study of contemporary migration. Drawing from the tension
between the EU's attempt to achieve watertight border controls by
means of biometric technologies, and migrants' persistence to move
to and live in the EU, the volume pursues two interrelated
objectives: first, it studies the encounters between migrants and
the Visa Information System (VIS), one of the largest biometric
databases in the world, from the perspective of mobility in order
to investigate how migrants appropriate mobility via Schengen visa
within and against this biometric border regime. Second, it
addresses criticisms of autonomy of migration in order to develop
it as a viable approach for border, migration and critical security
studies. Hence, the book is driven by two interrelated research
questions: what does the assertion of moments of autonomy of
migration refer to in the context of border regimes that use
biometrics to turn migrants' bodies into a means of mobility
control? And how do migrants appropriate mobility via Schengen visa
within and against biometric border regimes? This book will be of
great interest to scholars in border, migration and critical
security studies, as well as researchers engaged in citizenship
studies, surveillance studies, political theory, critical IR theory
and international political sociology.
