[resource-net] BORDERS OF FEAR: Migration, Security & Control (27-29 November)

[Lieke Ploeger]

Dear reSourcers,

We are happy to invite you to the 21st conference of the Disruption
Network Lab, which will happen soon:

BORDERS OF FEAR: Migration, Security & Control
November 27-29, Livestreamed from Kunstquartier Bethanien.

Journalists, activists, advocates, lawyers, researchers and critical
thinkers will unveil the persecution, control, and cultural violence
surrounding borders & migration.

BORDERS OF FEAR sheds light on wrongdoing in the context of migration by
investigating the reasons for and practice of rising walls and borders,
leading to physical and cultural violence and persecution and human
rights violations. The conference focuses on the discourse of borders at
both a concrete level and as a strategy of cultural violence on the part
of right-wing propaganda. We analyse the closure of frontiers, the
creation of refugee camps, and escalation of security, as well as how
border policing and the datafication of society are affecting the
narrative around migrants and refugees in Europe and the west.

We hope to have many of you with us on our livestream!

Below you can find our conference schedule, and more details are
available here: https://www.disruptionlab.org/borders-of-fear.

All the best,

Lieke & the Disruption Network Lab team.
