How does the fluidity that characterizes today's boundaries between the status of refugees and migrants, humanitarian protection, and state repression arise and what does it entail?
How do the migrants themselves manage the changes that have occurred in the refugee protection framework and the increasing border surveillance?
How do global events gain local significance in a border island society?
This volume approaches borderness as a research field and teaching object, but also as an experience. Its themes are structured around issues related to the policies of the Greek state and the European Union that (re)define internal and external borders, refugees and the inscription of the refugee status on the body, alive or dead, the ambiguity that the establishment and operation of detention centers for migrants and refugees confers on the borders, and the simultaneous humanitarian aid to those incarcerated.
