Choreographies of Resistance examines bodies and their capacity for
obstructive and resistant action in places and spaces where we do
not expect to see it. Drawing on empirical research that considers
cases on asylum seekers, beggars, undocumented migrants and migrant
nurses, the book attests to the scope and diversity of corporeal
resistance in the realm of politics. It is shown that bodies that
are not assumed to have political agency can obstruct and resist
the smooth functioning of disciplinary practices that nowadays form
the core of migration policies. It is argued that the body is more
than a mere target of politics. In so doing, the book contributes
to the study of the political significance of movement, mobility
and the nonverbal. The body opens up a space of political
resistance and action. The resistant body poses a challenge that is
both praxical and philosophical: it ultimately invites us to
reconsider the meanings and content of political space, community
and belonging..
