[unomada-info] "flee erase territorialize" transversal web journal on refugee protests in the UE

[Infos de la Universidad Nomada]

flee erase territorialize
transversal web journal

The refugee protests in many EU countries have succeeded in drawing
widespread public attention and produced a strong media echo. There is hope
that the activism of the refugees and their supporters will at least
produce improvements in regards to the violation of human rights in asylum
procedures which even contradict rules established by the Geneva Convention.

However, the protests far surpass the legal realm. They raise the
fundamental question if and how today’s governmental procedures are
compatible with democracy, if and  how democracy can be viewed and realized
in a globalized order that is influenced by dramatic social, economical and
political injustices.

In whatever the “we” of those with documents may consist, genuine
democratic citizenship today can only be invented /with/ those who have no
documents, with Sans-Papiers. In this sense fleeing is a movement that
erases the traces and mechanisms of identification, but at the same time it
also means to take refuge – not as an object or a victim, but as
self-determined occupation of territories, be they protest camps, churches
or new homes.
