Abstract

This article uses a critical lens to examine the various representations of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ in Lesvos, Greece through both the system of the hotspot regime and the performative acts of commoning, defined as the creation of the commons. It also proposes a process of commoning by the creation of an ‘assemblage’ of the Lesvos Migration Atlas. In this manner, the Atlas as an outcome of the research is itself a representation that embraces theory, narratives, practices, and acts; a visual and symbolic tool that provides space for photographic material, videos, artworks, (re)mappings, everyday stories, and reflective texts. At the same time, it is a collective process of capturing, writing and representing, open to new material and scripts ‐ thus a product in a process of becoming. Overall, the online and interactive Lesvos Migration Atlas can well be approached as an ‘assemblage’ that respects the mobility and contingency of the various crises, representations and acts of commoning. In the Atlas, the refugee crisis, the hotspot regime and the common spaces that have been created are brought together through the emergence and critical confrontation of the multiple representations of Lesvos.

代表和共同的难民危机:莱斯沃斯移民地图集的“集合”
本文以批判的视角审视希腊莱斯沃斯岛所谓“难民危机”的各种表现形式,通过热点制度和共同行为的表现形式,共同行为被定义为共同事物的创造。它还提出了通过创建莱斯沃斯移民地图集的“组合”来实现共同的过程。通过这种方式,作为研究成果的地图集本身就是一个包含理论、叙述、实践和行动的代表;一个视觉和象征性的工具,为摄影材料、视频、艺术品、(重新)映射、日常故事和反思文本提供空间。与此同时,这是一个集体的过程,捕捉,写作和表现,向新的材料和剧本开放-因此是一个在成为过程中的产品。总的来说,在线和互动的莱斯沃斯移民地图集可以很好地作为一个“集合”来处理,它尊重各种危机、表征和共同行为的流动性和偶然性。在《阿特拉斯图》中,难民危机、热点政权和已经创建的公共空间通过莱斯沃斯的多种表现形式的出现和关键对抗被汇集在一起。
