富裕世界的边界越来越像一个战场，在这里，一种新的“威胁”——所谓的“非法移民”——受到反击。在欧洲南部边境，海上巡逻、先进的监视机器和围栏将移民拒之门外，就像在美国、以色列或澳大利亚边境一样。这些投资创造了一个密集的控制网络，将边界向内和向外移动，进入其以外的边境地区。本文以最近的边境研究和非法行为人种学为基础，通过关注时间方面来探讨欧洲的移民控制。报告显示，在边境地区，非正规移民不仅要像移民通常那样遭受长时间的等待，而且还要遭受长时间的等待。他们还面临着国家当局通过连续驱逐和拘留来侵占时间的情况。移民时间的利用方式揭示了复杂的非法经济，补充了欧洲边境现有的“生物政治”观点。
The rich world’s borders increasingly seem like a battleground where a new kind of ‘threat’ is fought back – the so-called ‘illegal migrant’. At Europe’s southern frontiers, sea patrols, advanced surveillance machinery and fencing keep migrants out, much like at the US, Israeli or Australian borders. Such investments have created a dense web of controls that displaces the border both inward and outwards, into the borderlands beyond it. This article, building upon recent border studies and ethnographies of illegality, explores Europe’s migration controls by focusing on their temporal aspects. In the borderlands, it shows, irregular migrants are not only subjected to extended periods of waiting, as migrants often are; they also face an active usurpation of time by state authorities through serial expulsions and retentions. The ways in which migrants’ time is appropriated reveal a complex economics of illegality, complementing existing ‘biopolitical’ perspectives on Europe’s borders.
