Topography of power. Visual domination and the geography of pursuit on Alpine borders
Since the militarization of the French-Italian Alpine border in 2015 to control illegalized migration, border police agents have targeted migrants through mobile patrols across the mountain range. Drawing on fieldwork data — including observations of police practices, reconstructions of migrants’ journeys through the mountains, and GIS-based visibility analyses — this article shows that border control forces use visibility as a strategic tool. Bu…
Who Killed Blessing Matthew at the Franco–Italian Border? Framing Responsibility through an Analysis of the Entanglement of Law and Space
This paper analyzes the “kill chain” that led to the death of Blessing Matthew, a young Nigerian woman who tried to cross the Franco–Italian Alpine border, in May 2018. It aims to deconstruct the entanglement of laws, regulations, and practices at this borderland, so as to position Matthew’s case within the broader migration and border regime and thus overcome the rhetoric of inevitability and discourse attributing the young woman’s death to the …

Se rendre in/visible dans les espaces touristiques alpins: Les stratégies visuelles de résistance des personnes en migration à la frontière franco-italienne
Cet article s’intéresse à l’in/visibilité comme rapport de pouvoir dans les espaces touristiques alpins à la frontière franco-italienne (le littoral azuréen de Menton-Vintimille, et les stations de ski hautes-alpines de Montgenèvre et Clavière). Le contrôle migratoire mis en place à la frontière repose sur un profilage social et « ethno-racial », par les forces de l’ordre, des personnes qui fréquentent cet espace. Les inégalités sociales et racia…
Making Oneself In/Visible in Alpine Tourist Areas: Migrants’ Visual Strategies of Resistance on the French-Italian Border
This article looks at the dynamics of in/visibility as a power relation in Alpine tourist areas along the French-Italian border, specifically the Côte d’Azur coastline of Menton–Ventimiglia and the Alpine ski resorts of Montgenèvre and Clavière. Migration control in these regions relies on social and “ethno-racial” profiling by law enforcement officers. The structural social and racial inequalities in the Alpine region render “non-white” minoriti…
La traque policière des étranger·es à la frontière franco-italienne (Hautes-Alpes) comme « maintien de l’ordre » social et racial
À la frontière franco-italienne du Briançonnais (Hautes-Alpes), le contrôle des étranger·es en situation irrégulière par la police aux frontières (PAF) opère de manière discrétionnaire, ciblant a priori les individus à contrôler. Les pratiques policières mobiles prennent la forme de traques des personnes racisées à travers le massif montagneux. Ces pratiques exposent les étranger·es irrégularisé·es aux dangers du milieu de haute-montagne et s’ins…
Chasing Down Foreigners at the French-Italian Border (Hautes-Alpes) as a Matter of Social and Racial Policing
In the town of Briançon (Hautes-Alpes), on the French side of the French-Italian border, the border police (PAF) controls for those who have crossed the border illegally by operating on a discretionary basis. Mobile police practices include tracking down racialised people across the mountains. These practices expose illegal migrants to dangers inherent in the high-mountain environment and are part of a continuum of police and administrative viole…
