Abstract:The Aegean Sea and its landscape stretching across the Greek-Turkish border has since the establishment of the Greek state always been a space of inter-locking politics and discourses surrounding the figure of the refugee. Since the so-called refugee crisis, processes of construction of refugee deservingness have increasingly centered around the category of vulnerability. Ethnographic work conducted on the island of Lesbos and in Athens between 2017 and 2019 permits an examination of the ways in which contemporary asylum and reception services construct layers of human worthiness and spaces of worth extraction. Denial of urgency, prioritization, and normalization are key strategies of the spatial governance of the displaced in the Aegean borderscape. Juxtaposing the 1923 Population Exchange with the more recent displacement suggests some continuities, similarities, and differences that can lead to a deeper understanding of the geographical, social, and political factors that continue to shape the meaning of the refugee in contemporary Greece.

Abstract:Following the Balkan Wars, the First World War, the 1919–1922 Greco-Turkish War, and the 1923 mutual and compulsory Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey, millions left their towns and villages behind and their homes, schools, and religious buildings were re-used by incoming refugees from the other side or were left in ruins. In the last two decades, a number of old church buildings across Anatolia have been reused, on the initiative of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, as sites of sporadic or periodic religious services. During the same period, many of these buildings have been restored as cultural centers. A range of stakeholders were involved in these two processes, including the local authorities, religious bodies, and professional experts, all pursuing their own priorities and interpretations. How do rituals—in the form of religious services—and restoration activities become entangled in competing relationships with buildings and with the past? The situation in the Izmir region offers insights into the complex involvement of space, matter, form, and ritual in the making of meaning and heritage, and can inform discussions about the legacy of the Population Exchange and heritage preservation in regions overridden by antagonistic nationalisms and uncontrolled development.

Abstract:The unapologetic rise of “ethno-nationalism,” white nationalism, and supremacist narratives in the contemporary world context has led scholars to revisit the histories of totalitarianism, fascism, and authoritarianism. Challenging the idea that these violent racialized histories have been confined to the past, critical scholars argue that their legacies are in fact prominent aspects of the history of the present. What does it mean to remember the 1923 exchange of Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians between Greece and Turkey today? An exploration of the implications of the Greco-Turkish exchange through the prism of biopolitics in the contemporary world context—juxtaposing the biopolitical dimensions of the 1923 exchange with the contemporary refugee crisis, white identitarian civilizationism and violence, neo-Ottomanist Islamic civilizational counter-mobilization, and the reopening of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul as a mosque—raises questions about the scope of memory work on the hundredth anniversary of the 1923 exchange. These questions are to be addressed through the palimpsests of the history of the present.

Abstract:Neoliberal borders inconspicuously morph, now facilitating the free passage of goods and citizens from rich countries, now violently excluding irregular travelers departing from impoverished and repressive environments. In turn, unauthorized migrants demonstrate narrative and performative craft(iness) by tactically shapeshifting to fit themselves into the highly particular mold of a “worthy refugee.” The 2019 Arabic-language memoir Anthems of Salt, which chronicles its Algerian author’s attempt at clandestine migration to northern Europe via Turkey and Greece, provides a backdrop for recent scholarship on twenty-first-century borders and the so-called refugee crisis. A close reading of Ramdani’s account, in conjunction with examples from fieldwork as a volunteer for asylum aid organizations in Greece, provides a view of what is produced in the interaction between morphing borderscapes and shapeshifting migrants—namely, incarnations of the very essentialized images that states project onto their unwanted entrants. But candid border-crossing narratives like Ramdani’s are produced as well, revealing the many cross-territorial linkages through which borderlines slice. These linkages suggest the potential for alternative cartographies that challenge dominant notions of nation-statehood.
摘要:新自由主义的边界在悄然变化，时而便利来自富裕国家的货物和公民的自由通行，时而粗暴地排斥来自贫困和压迫环境的非正规旅行者。反过来，未经授权的移民通过战术上的变形来适应“有价值的难民”的高度特殊的模式，展示了叙事和表演技巧。2019年出版的阿拉伯语回忆录《盐之歌》(anthem of Salt)记录了阿尔及利亚作者试图通过土耳其和希腊秘密移民到北欧的经历，为最近有关21世纪边界和所谓难民危机的学术研究提供了背景。仔细阅读Ramdani的叙述，结合他作为希腊庇护援助组织志愿者的实地工作实例，可以看到在不断变化的边界景观和变形的移民之间的相互作用中产生了什么——也就是说，国家投射到他们不受欢迎的入境者身上的非常本质的形象的化身。但像拉姆达尼这样坦率的越境叙述也被制作出来，揭示了许多跨地域的联系，通过这些联系，边界被分割开来。这些联系表明，有可能出现挑战民族国家地位主流观念的另类地图绘制方法。
