Between the border fence and the boundary line. Territorial leftovers or geopolitical retreat in Melilla
The Ceuta Border Peripeteia: Tasting the Externalities of EU Border Externalization
On May 18th 2021 more than 8000 people irregularly crossed the EU external border between Morocco and Ceuta. Morocco was accused of not acting diligently enough to prevent this unprecedented influx. Interestingly, this occurred in a geopolitical context of rising tensions within Spanish-Moroccan diplomatic relations-triggered by Trump administration’s recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Spanish former colony of Western Sahara in 2020.

Between crises and borders: Interventions on Mediterranean Neighbourhood and the salience of spatial imaginaries
The borderscape of Punta Tarifa: Concurrent invisibilisation practices at Europe’s ultimate peninsula
This contribution aims to provide a cultural–geographical reading of the borderscape of Punta Tarifa: the southernmost point of so-called continental Europe and a key site vis-a-vis material and representational Euro-African (dis)connections.
