| Inhalt | Border regimes manifest themselves in multiple ways and in various sites across and beyond national borders. They are present in border control practices at border crossing sites, but equally in remote spaces away from the actual border, and together are part of a borderscape. In addition, administrative migration control practices in cantonal or federal offices as well as bordering practices in neighbourhoods, are present in a border regime. In order to better understand the contested field of diverse actors, discourses, practices, materialities and social movements in Switzerland that struggle between control and freedom of movement, this seminar begins by contextualizing the Swiss border regime in the interdisciplinary research field of critical migration and border studies. From there, we approach specific topics such as border violence, humanitarianization and forms of resistance to exclusionary processes and struggle against the contemporary migration and border regime. The specificities of the Swiss border regime will be analyzed by focusing first on the local bordering practices of social in- and exclusion vis-à-vis a particular group of migrants without a legal residence permit (Sans-Papiers) in the urban space of Basel. Sans-Papiers live and work among us, yet they are denied a number of civil rights. How do they go about organizing their lives while at the same time the state aims at excluding them from its sovereign territory? We will discuss these issues with former Sans-Papiers living in Basel. Second, we will broaden the view onto the Swiss border regime and look at how it is playing out internationally at the EU external border. Even though Switzerland is not an EU member state, it is part of the Schengen agreement and cooperates in securing EU external borders in various ways. We will take the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina to investigate in which ways the Swiss state is impacting on the border dynamics of this EU external border, where the so-called Balkan route has never ceased to exist. |
