Who counts as a victim? Hierarchies of victimhood in Greek femicide news
Femicide reporting has long occupied feminist media research, interrogating how news storytelling misrecognizes the killing of women because of their gender. Less examined is how such storytelling constructs hierarchies of female victimhood, valuing some lives while erasing others. We address this gap through thematic analysis of 206 Greek news stories from 2021, identifying five frames that shape narrative context: bureaucratic, cinematic, witne…
Digital skills of and for lives marked by vulnerability
This article examines how teenage refugees in Europe develop digital skills in and through conditions of vulnerability. We argue that recognising vulnerability as a productive force, rather than merely as context, is crucial if we are to fully understand the emergence, limits and lack of skills among young people experiencing perpetual marginality. Drawing on 96 interviews and five creative workshops with teenage refugees in the cities of Athens,…
The Outer Border
This chapter sets out an account of the digital border as it emerged at a busy crossing-point in Europe’s outer frontiers, the Greek island of Chios at the peak of the so-called “migration crisis”. Drawing on research with a range of actors of reception—from the military to humanitarian organizations but also local activists—we highlight the key parameters of the regime of humanitarian securitization. Humanitarian securitization, this chapter dem…
The Digital Border
Conclusion
Our response to Achille Mbembe’s question of what the global North can do with those who “have no claim on the earth,” we conclude, cannot be a singular one. Migrants are encamped, deported, “othered” and marginalized, or, when actively participating in established communities, often fitted within a specific template of success that privileges economic value over other kinds of value, Yet, at the same time, as active narrators of their stories on…
The Inner Border as Networked Commons
After unraveling the digital border’s territorial manifestations at Europe’s outer and inner border in Chapters 1 and 2, Chapter 3 analyzes the incompleteness and fragility of the digital border. With an empirical focus on the metropoles of Athens, Berlin, and London, this chapter shows how the digital border is contested through the emergence of differential and uneven networked commons in the city. Networked commons, we argue, are unstable but …
Subaltern Voice and Digital Resistance
Chapter 6 moves across the temporality of “crisis” and post-“crisis,” 2015–20, to examine the representation of migrants no longer as silent figures but as speaking subjects that use digital spaces of publicity to connect with their own communities as well as with western audiences. Through an analysis of four Europe-wide institutional and grassroots online initiative, the chapter illustrates the potential of migrants as “subaltern” actors to uns…
Conclusion
Narrative and Voice in News Stories
Chapter 4 shifts focus onto the symbolic border and is the first of three analytical accounts that interrogates the narrative constitution of the digital border in the 2015–16 migration “crisis.” The chapter discusses the remediation of migration in online news storytelling from the standpoint of voice—who speaks (subjects of voice), in which capacity (status of voice), and within which context (context of voice). Drawing on analysis of 1,200 new…
Visibility and Responsibility in News Imagery
Chapter 5 interrogates the photojournalism of migration during the “migration crisis.” Rather than focusing on narrative voice as a site for migrant agency, this chapter takes its point of departure visual representation as a site for the articulation of western responsibility vis-à-vis migrant arrivals. Approaching photojournalism as a moralizing project that invites its publics to offer a response to the spectacle of migration, the chapter refl…
Subaltern Voice and Digital Resistance
The Inner Border
Moving away from Europe’s outer border, this chapter focuses on the workings of the inner border in European cities where migrants seek to settle, live, and work. What this chapter shows is that, across these cities, technologies of mobility control and access to rights shapes the domain of migrant work within a neoliberal logic of individual entrepreneurialism. The outer border’s power regime of humanitarian securitization is here transformed in…
The Digital Border
As the numbers of people fleeing war, poverty and environmental disaster reach unprecedented levels worldwide, states step up their border controls. In this, they rely on digital technologies, big data, artificial intelligence, social media platforms, and institutional journalism to manage not only the flow of people at crossing-points, but also the flow of stories of migration among their publics. What is the role of digital technologies is shap…
Digital (in-)Visibilities
This article focuses on the conditions of migrant (in-)visibilities in digital mediascapes. Addressing the ambivalent and complex communicative architecture of voice in the context of digitization and migration, it tackles three fundamental questions: Does digital visibility contest political silencing of the migrant subject? Is the migrant who speaks also heard? And what kind of recognition do digital visibilities allow for and what kind of misr…
Publicness and commoning
In this article, we examine publicness during the pandemic, with a particular focus on the conditions it creates or constricts for engagement, solidarity and collective action. We interrogate the intensive publicness of the crisis to reflect on its assumed and established equation with progressive political possibility - transparency, accountability and democratic procedure. Theoretically, we cut into the contemporary ambiguity of publicness by p…
Covid-19
This is the Introduction to the special issue on Covid-19 and the cultural constructions of a global crisis. Contextualizing understandings of the pandemic in relation to the concepts of 'event' and 'crisis', especially to the idea that modernity is itself a condition of perpetual crisis, it proposes that the pandemic is a crisis-event that catalyses new possibilities for making visible endemic inequalities and injustices across highly variable c…
Smartphones as personal digital archives? Recentring migrant authority as curating and storytelling subjects
This article addresses the smartphone as a complicated technology of forced migration: a device that accompanies those who move, but which also records and catalogues digital traces within life contexts of conflict, uprooting, migration and resettlement. We conceptualise smartphones as personal digital archives: migrants’ curation of their own stories on their own portable devices. Personal digital archives, we argue, reflect the migrant gaze and…
Suspension
This article focuses on suspension: a process and a politics in migration governance that disables subjects and destabilises the state. Drawing on migrant, civic actor and policy-maker insights and experiences in the cities of Athens, Berlin and London, the discussion reveals how suspension is operationalised and enacted. As recorded across three cities, suspension has become a way to govern migration as an unequal and racialised system by obscur…
Making an urban human? The digital order and its curious human-centrism
This article’s point of departure is the observed retreat of techno-centric conceptions of optimal cities and their replacement by a curious human-centrism in media, corporate, and policy discursive constructions of cities. This human-centrism hides an emerging urban order: the digital order. The digital order is realised through discourses and practices that promote controlled cities, not through coercion and visible policing, but instead throug…

Racism, postracialism and why media matter
Racism has become both ubiquitous and unrecognizable, precisely as its meanings are subjected to the never-ending debates on social media and mass media. In fact, racism is increasingly debated through media events (such as in the case of the Charlie Hebdo), but also ordinarily defined and denied in everyday life (such as in the case of the casual racism in everyday social media communication). This article responds to Titley's [2019. Racism and …
Gamers versus zombies? Visual mediation of the citizen/non-citizen encounter in Europe’s ‘refugee crisis’
This article identifies the visual representation of Europe’s “refugee crisis” in the media as a key dimension of the communicative architecture of the crisis and its aftermath. Effectively, it argues, the powerful, even iconic, imagery that the media produced and shared during the 2015 “crisis” affirmed ideological frames of incompatible difference, perpetually dividing European citizens and refugees. The article focuses on some of the fundament…
City of Refuge or Digital Order? Refugee Recognition and the Digital Governmentality of Migration in the City
This article analyses the digital governmentality of the city of refuge. It shows how digital infrastructures support refugees’ new life in the European city, while also normalizing the conditionality of their recognition as humans and as citizens-in-the-making. Research in Athens, Berlin, and London revealed the city as a vital but fierce space for refugees to claim, and sometimes find recognition that the nation often denies. A multimethod qual…
The digital border
In this article, we develop a definition of the digital border as an assemblage of mediations that articulates digital and other technologies with symbolic resources to draw boundaries of inside/outside both on the ground (territorial border) and in narrative (symbolic border). We subsequently sketch the contours of this assemblage through an emphasis on its dynamics of mediation, its dialectics of resistance and its trajectories of historicity a…
The Digital Border
How do digital technologies shape the experiences and meanings of migration? As the numbers of people fleeing war, poverty, and environmental disaster reach unprecedented levels worldwide, states also step up their mechanisms of border control. In this, they rely on digital technologies, big data, artificial intelligence, social media platforms, and institutional journalism to manage not only the flow of people at crossing-points, but also the fl…
Crossing the Boundaries of the Ethnic Home
The focus of this article is on media consumption, as it relates to ethnic identity construction. In an attempt to surpass the domination of the domestic as the singular point of reference and research in media studies, the author turns to the public. On one hand, this choice relates to the conceptualization of media consumption as a cultural process exceeding narrowly perceived media use and being implicated in processes of identity and communit…
Watching soap opera in the diaspora
This paper focused on an area of transnational Arabic television, which has attracted little scholarly attention: soap operas and their consumption among women in the Arab diaspora. Focus groups with Arab audiences in London revealed the significant role that soap operas play in sustaining a gendered critical and reflexive proximity to the Arab world. The paper shows that soap opera viewing provides female audiences in the diaspora with opportuni…
Does the subaltern speak? Migrant voices in digital Europe
This article examines a number of digital initiatives where refugees and migrants speak with/to Europe in the context of the “migration crisis.” The analysis of four institutional and grassroots initiatives illustrates digital Europe’s symbolic articulations of borders that divide people and territories. As argued, the mediated visibility and voice of refugees and migrants matter precisely as the order of appearance (in Arendt’s terms) in digital…

Seeking Ontological Security beyond the Nation
This article examines the role of transnational television in supporting transnational subjects’ ontological security in a world of information, risk, interconnected spaces but fragmented social relations. The discussion draws from Silverstone’s and Giddens’s work on ontological security and modernity. It revisits Silverstone’s analysis of television as a core system for managing modern subjects’ insecurities and relocates this thesis in a transn…
Identity, Space and the Media
This paper proposes a spatial approach to identity and mediation as, it is argued, this approach provides a framework for grasping and analysing the complex and changing formation of identity in current times and in an interconnected world. More specifically, it looks at the significance of mobility, immediate and mediated intersections and juxtapositions of difference as necessary elements of the analysis of current formations of identity. The p…
Introduction
Mediated representations of gender, ethnicity and migration play an increasingly important role in the way these categories are understood in the public sphere and the private realm. As media often intervene in processes of individual and institutional communication, they provide frameworks for the production and consumption of representations of these categories. Thus media - in their production, representations and consumption - need to be anal…
Diasporic Media Across Europe
Europe is a cultural space of meeting, mixing and clashing; a space of sharing (and not sharing) economic, cultural and symbolic resources. Dominant ideologies of Europeanism project an image of Europe as a common and distinct cultural Home, a Home that excludes and (re-)creates Otherness when it does not fit a model of universalism and appears as competing particularism. Cultural diversity has always characterised Europe, but growing potentials …

Between strategic nostalgia and banal nomadism
This article discusses a bipolar and highly politicized set of positions adopted by Arab speakers in Europe, as they attempt to define the meanings and limits of their subjectivity, especially through their media consumption. The article draws from focus group research in three European capital cities: London, Madrid and Nicosia. Findings show that media consumption among Arabic-speaking audiences takes a political twist and contributes to blurri…
Les diasporas en ligne
Trois études de cas - réalisées sur des sites éthiopien, kurde et grec - mettent ici en lumière les effets de l'usage d'Internet sur les diasporas. Selon l'auteur, des possibilités de relations "plus démocratiques" émergeraient en leur sein, car des individus habituellement marginalisés osent s'exprimer sur les sites de leur communauté, et parce que l'outil incite les membres des diasporas à fonctionner de façon plus décentralisée et autonome

Is London open? Mediating and ordering cosmopolitanism in crisis
This article analyses cosmopolitan imagination and ambivalent morality at times of urban crisis. It focuses on #LondonIsOpen – the city’s media campaign in response to the nation’s Brexit vote. In this case, cosmopolitanism’s discursive tools – especially the ideals of the Open city and hospitality – are mobilised to summon a range of actors in defence of the city. The article analyses the mediation of cosmopolitanism in a campaign film and in Lo…

In the End, Germany will Always Resort to Hot Pants”
The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is an annual popular music event that attracts millions of people who consume it with enthusiasm, irony, humor, but also sometimes with anger. The contest has been increasingly dressed with numerous stereotypes about the nation, Europe, and cultural difference. This paper looks at two different groups of ESC audiences in the UK and analyzes their engagement with the event and the stereotypes around it. The first …
Cities of difference
This paper explores urban politics of representation and their role in processes of political and cultural participation for migrant and diasporic urban dwellers. Urban politics of representation are about finding a location in the city and about locating the city (or one's own city) in the world. Living, representing and being represented in the city is attached to looking for and finding (or failing to find) a place in the world. The strangers,…
Media use at the crossroads
Cyprus has always been a crossroads between continental Europe and the Middle East and the history of migration from this region to the eastern Mediterranean island can be traced back more than two thousand years. Contemporary migration has had its distinct history with significant waves of refugees migrating from the Middle East to Cyprus since the 1960s. In these recent times, Lebanese and Palestinians have become the two largest groups of migr…

Transnational lives and the media
This collection is a timely and exciting attempt to understand recent changes in the relations between diaspora and media cultures. At its heart is the recognition that contemporary diasporas present us with profound transformation, with a shift from the traditional political formations and identities characterising diasporic communities, to ways in which communities learn to engage with the new 'Other'

Urban Encounters
This article explores the communicative interface of global cities, especially as it is shaped in the juxtapositions of difference in culturally diverse urban neighbourhoods. These urban zones present powerful examples, where different groups live cheek by jowl, in close proximity and in intimate interaction — desired or unavoidable. In these urban locations, the need to manage difference is synonymous to making them liveable and one's own. In se…

Hospitability
This paper explores the communicative architecture of reception at the peak of Europe's 2015–2016 “migration crisis.” Drawing on fieldwork at one of Europe's outer borders—the Greek island of Chios—the paper examines the border as a site where refugee and migrant reception takes place and where the parameters of Europe's ethico-political response to the “crisis” are set. The paper demonstrates that the continent's double requirement of security a…
