全球难民危机的一个重要结果是，被迫移民被遗弃，住在欧盟内部的临时营地。本文详细介绍了国家当局如何阻止难民通过正式供应生存，直接导致数千人不得不生活在危险空间，如本研究所在地加莱的非正式营地。然后我们探讨了这种遗弃的暴力后果。通过汇集迄今为止关于生物/死亡政治（Michel Foucault; Achille Mbembe）和结构性暴力（Johan Galtung）的文献，我们重新梳理了对难民故意的政治冷漠与他们遭受的生理暴力之间的联系。在将难民管理作为一系列暴力不作为的框架中，我们展示了移民控制的生命政治如何让位于死亡政治的残暴。在探讨暴力和移民的地域问题时，本文认为，政治上的不作为和行动一样，都可以作为一种控制手段。
A significant outcome of the global crisis for refugees has been the abandonment of forced migrants to live in makeshift camps inside the EU. This paper details how state authorities have prevented refugees from surviving with formal provision, leading directly to thousands having to live in hazardous spaces such as the informal camp in Calais, the site of this study. We then explore the violent consequences of this abandonment. By bringing together thus far poorly integrated literatures on bio/necropolitics (Michel Foucault; Achille Mbembe) and structural violence (Johan Galtung), we retheorize the connections between deliberate political indifference towards refugees and the physiological violence they suffer. In framing the management of refugees as a series of violent inactions, we demonstrate how the biopolitics of migrant control has given way to necropolitical brutality. Advancing geographies of violence and migration, the paper argues that political inaction, as well as action, can be used as a means of control.
