CfP TECNOSCIENZA Special Issue – Making public in the context of migration and border control. On securitization, non-citizenship, and secrecy
Apologies for Crossposting
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
