ABSTRACT Dispossession can be examined from various vantage points across disciplines. Dispossession is a condition that overturns self-sufficiency by forcing individuals and communities to be dependent. The dependency remains on a "mode of governance and a legal regime that confers and sustains those rights” (Butler 2013, 4). Being dispossessed indicate that the subjects are disowned and degraded by normalising powers active in the society, where the subjects are differentiated. The differentiation is manifested in varied conceptions of development and under-development, of dislocated and "counter-hegemonic subjects." This epistemic distinctions remains the basis for spaces of border formation. However, dispossession is a layered activity that involves multiple actors. It is imperative to unpack layers of dispossession to unravel complex border formation. Thus taking dispossession as the central category of analysis, the contributors in the special issue have examined the complex and layered relationship between dispossession and (b)ordering processes to demonstrate overlapping dominations and subjugations: at (in)security, psycho-social, cultural, political, and economic realms. It attempts to unravel mechanisms of contentious politics of dispossession and the “narratives of encounters” of collective imaginations within a relational framework. In the process, it tries to unfold historical processes and political dynamics of exclusion that constitutes internal and external border practices in acts of dispossession.

ABSTRACT In the context of the development of national dispersion policies in Europe, a growing body of literature has been focusing on small and mid-sized cities as points of arrival for migrants in these specific cases of forced mobility. However, little work has been done on the trajectories of migrants who voluntarily move to apparently unattractive territories. Based on the example of the department of Calvados in Normandy, and drawing on qualitative data, this paper analyses the information practices developed by international migrants that are in a situation of information precarity and who are faced with Europe’s externalized and internalized border control. By looking to the source and nature of elements that were the reason for their decision to move to Calvados, this article sheds light on the types of information and actors that shape migrants’ itineraries. Furthermore, this article discusses the dynamics of trust and distrust between migrants and their various interlocutors and questions the characteristics of those identified as relevant providers of information. This article highlights the impact of administrative procedures and reception arrangements on migrants’ trajectories, as well as the central, albeit ambivalent, role of transnational social capital in relation to finding the right information in a new territory.

ABSTRACT This contribution explores the acquisition, circulation and negotiation of knowledge related to mobility and border crossing among migrants at the French-Italian border of Ventimiglia. Despite governmental deterrence policies and border controls, the pursuit of “secondary movements” seems not to decrease, and is increasingly putting Europe to the test. In this context, the underground knowledge network that exists can be used to circumvent legal and geographical borders and to gain access to forms of citizenship. The “right” information is thus fundamental in determining the level of risk embedded in the various pathways and practices of de-bordering, as well as in constructing specific behaviors and migration carriers. To examine contentious information issues, we have participated in activities supporting the Progetto20k collective, including: Eufemia Info&legal point, an independent solidarity center in Ventimiglia; and the Italian-French Border Guide, a project designed to produce and spread mobility knowledge.
