Dear colleagues,
we invite submissions for the Call for Papers "Making public in the context
of migration and border control. On securitization, non-citizenship, and
secrecy" to be published on Tecnoscienza - Italian Journal of Science and
Technology Studies. Please, find the details below.
Deadline for abstract submissions: October 30th, 2023
Guest editors:
Silvan Pollozek, European New School of Digital Studies
Maria Ullrich, University of Bonn
Olga Usachova, University of Padova
The special issue (SI) focuses on the making and shaping of publics in the
realm of migration and border control. In line with the open and critical
approach of Tecnoscienza, it aims to foster dialogue at the intersection of
STS and critical migration and border studies. On the one hand, it explores
how STS inspired work on issue publics, heterogeneous collectives, and
material forms of participation can stimulate research on migration and
borders. On the other hand, it reflects upon frictions, limitations, and
blind spots that arise when being translated from realms of techno science
into those of security, non-citizenship, secrecy, and ignorance. It
highlights discursive strategies, ambivalences, boundaries and
(methodological) limitations, violence and resistance, and reflects upon
the conditions of (im)possibility and the power effects regarding the
socio-technical making and shaping of publics.
We invite contributions that examine the conditions of (im)possibility, the
becoming, and the shaping of publics in the realm of migration and border
control. Contributions may refer to but also may go beyond the following
topics:
- publics and the the securitization and criminalization of migration
- technologies as devices of engagement and participation as well as of
surveillance and control
- publics under conditions of non-citizenship and precarity
- institutional hurdles and barriers of making publics
- secrecy and (strategic) ignorance of migration and border control actors
- politics of (non)accountability
- publics in times of crisis
