Ambivalent feelings: ‘Filotimo’ in the Greek migration regime
This article explores the ambivalent feelings that police officers demonstrate in their encounters with migrants at migration governance sites in Greece. Police officers are notorious for their anti-migrant and racist attitudes, and migration governance sites are infamous for their poor conditions. However, very often police officers exhibit care towards migrants, providing them with medicine, food and other goods. This care is not a matter of in…

‘How did you get in?’ Research access and sovereign power during the ‘migration crisis’ in Greece
The ‘migration crisis’ has turned migration governance in Greece into a popular research field. At the same time, it has triggered the reconfiguration of sovereign powers with an assemblage of disparate actors engaging in addressing the ‘crisis’. This excess of sovereign power has contributed to a migration maze. In this article I use access to the migration field and in particular the Moria camp in Lesbos, as the lens for an exploration of these…
Nonrecording the "European refugee crisis" in Greece
This article explores nonrecording on the borders of Europe during the "European refugee crisis" in 2015. It examines the ambiguous practices of border control and the diverse actors involved. Taking the island of Lesvos as its starting point, the article interrogates how state functionaries manage an "irregular" bureaucracy. Irregular bureaucracy is approached as an essential element of state-craft , rather than an indication of state failure. N…
Socialities of solidarity: Revisiting the gift taboo in times of crises
This article addresses solidarity and the opening of social spaces in the relations between refugees and residents of Greece who try to help them. 'Socialities of solidarity' materialise alternative worldviews; they are loci for the production of lateral relationships; places inhabited by the prospects that derive from the political production of sociality. The article discusses the 'gift taboo', dominant in the pre-crisis era, that reflects the …
The biopolitics of hospitality in Greece: Humanitarianism and the management of refugees
Drawing on my research in refugee settings in Greece, I relate the biopolitics of humanitarianism with the Greek notion of "hospitality" and established cultural schemata of social relations. The dominant discourse on hospitality is reproduced in the humanitarian setting of a camp where asylum seekers are produced as worthy guests, placed in the middle ground between mere biological life and full social existence. Volunteers working with refugees…
