Heterotopian analysis of maritime refugee incidents
/ Budz, Michele

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2009.
Summary/Abstract
Given the persistent significance of states in the determination of legal identities of people on the move, a consideration of the construction of people as legal (or illegal) migrants, refugees, or asylum-seekers must also recognize that these determinations take place in conjunction with the simultaneous processes through which spaces such as sovereign states or ships carrying asylum-seekers are constructed. A heterotopian analysis of the Tampa and the SIEVX of 2001 allows for a consideration of the ways in which notions of sovereignty, territory and governmentality work to stabilize ambiguous situations produced by the conflictual discourses of human rights and state power.

Racialisation of asylum in provincial England: class, place and whiteness
/ Garner, Steve
Garner, Steve
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2013.
Summary/Abstract
This article examines the discursive racialisation of asylum-seekers by residents of Portishead, a small English town, a process demonstrating a classed and placed set of expressions of whiteness. I study the racialisation of a diverse group of people from the bottom-up, through an analysis of residents' letters of objection to the Government's request for planning permission to turn a building into an asylum processing centre in 2004. Three registers of language are presented: 'technocratic', 'resentful' and 'conjectural'. Racialisation is expressed through shared ideas about the type of space in Portishead, and the type of people appropriate for it. The space is constructed as white and middle-class: the asylum-seekers are produced discursively as neither and therefore as not belonging. I suggest that the phenomenon of relatively powerful groups constructing themselves as weak and beleaguered can be conceptualised as a form of 'defensive engagement'.
