The
border has a tendency to spread: it explodes into outsourcing to third
countries, and implodes as domestic borders, control devices, detentions
and disappearances...; in other words, it tends to occupy the entire
system, becoming centre. In the shadows of the border-as-system, where
control is out of control, the prototype of a totalitarian society is
assembled.
Around the subject of migration there are a series of
crucial lapses or ‘forgettings’, which not only hinder in-depth
reflection but also fuel exclusionary visions There first of these is
the colonial lapse – we have forgotten the close ties between migration
and coloniality, and its global mutation. The second lapse springs from
limiting our reflections on migration to the spheres of politics,
policing, economics, demographics and humanitarian action... but rarely
considering it in terms of knowledge and wisdom, of which we are truly
in need. A third lapse consists of labelling people “immigrants”,
creating the corresponding imaginary and confining them within it...
failing to remember that all of us in fact migrate between different
territories, spaces, times, and forms of knowledge.
