The confrontation between asylum seeking and sovereignty has mainly
focused on ways in which the movement and possibilities of refugees
and migrants are limited. In this volume, instead of departing from
the practices of governance and surveillance, Puumala begins with
the moving body, its engagements and relations and examines
different ways of seeing and sensing the struggle between asylum
seekers and sovereign practices. Puumala asserts that our political
imagination is being challenged in its ways of ordering, practicing
and thinking about the international and those relations we call
international. The issues relating to asylum seekers are one
example of the deficiencies in the spatiotemporal logic upon which
these relations were originally built; words such as 'nation',
'people', 'sovereignty' and 'community' are challenged.
Conventional methods of governing, regulating and administering
increased forms of mobility are in trouble, which gives rise to the
invention of new technologies at borders and introduces regulations
and spaces of exception. Based on extensive fieldwork that sheds
light on a range of Europe-wide practices in the field of asylum
and migration policies, this book will be of interest to scholars
of IR theory, biopolitics and migration, as well as critical
security more broadly.
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..
