Minor keywords of political theory: Migration as a critical standpoint

The production of irregular citizenship through mobile governmentalities: Racism Against Roma at the Security-Mobility Nexus
This article uses the case study of the European Roma to demonstrate the importance of mobile governmentalities in regulating mobility and citizenship. These are political technologies in which mobility itself is turned into a strategy to govern mobility, particularly through keeping people on the move. Whereas most studies about mobility and migration focus on the governing of mobilities and on interrelated biopolitical mechanisms, I extend thes…
Knowing “the Roma: Visual technologies of sorting populations and the policing of mobility in Europe
This paper examines ways of knowing “the Roma” as a category of people. It attends to mobility and its obstructions, and the ways that coincide with bureaucratic, institutional, and everyday modes of sorting and racializing groups of people. Our case study is situated in Romania. Whereas “the Roma” do not exist as a category in the Romanian national registry of citizens, mainstream public discourses regarding “Roma migration” have significantly p…
Contained mobility and the racialization of poverty in Europe: The Roma at the development–security nexus
This paper starts from the observation that, since the collapse of eastern European state socialism, the Roma have become the subject and target of Europe-wide development programs and discourses, while, at the same time, they have been problematized in terms of social, public and national security. Due to the ways in which development and security have ambiguously come together in Europe’s recent history, I will argue that the living conditions …
Evictability and the Biopolitical Bordering of Europe: Evictability and the Biopolitical Bordering of Europe
Migration and border scholars have argued that the Europeanization and securitization of borders and migration have led to forms of population regulation that constitute a questionable divide between EU and non-EU groups, as well as between different non-EU groups. This paper argues that these processes have impacted not only centrifugally, on non-EU populations, but also centripetally, on the “intra-EU” divide regarding minorities such as Europe…
Socio-Economic Mobility and Neo-Liberal Governmentality in Post-Socialist Europe: Activation and the Dehumanisation of the Roma
This paper discusses recent profound transformations in the post-socialist governance of welfare states and their impact on the Roma, Europe's most marginalised and vulnerable minority. Discussing the consequences of the recent transition of social policy in East Central Europe from the angle of a shift from Communist welfare societies to post-1989 active societies shows how these changes have simultaneously inaugurated new approaches to the regi…

Europe's Romaphobia: Problematization, Securitization, Nomadization
Cultural policy and the governmentalization of Holocaust remembrance in Europe: Romani memory between denial and recognition
We have been able to observe a shift in the European Union’s cultural policy from conceptualizing culture in symbolic terms to instrumentalizing it in governmental terms. Taking the example of Romani minority governance in Europe, this paper analyzes the consequences of this turn and focuses on the nexus between Romani Holocaust remembrance and cultural policy in the EU and its member states, the Czech Republic in particular. Governing through cu…
The Way Out of Amnesia: Europeanisation and the Recognition of the Roma's Past and Present
Lety near Pisek and Hodonin near Kunstat are two villages in the Czech Republic. Since the beginning of the 1990s, an industrial pig farm in Lety and a holiday resort in Hodonin have become tangibl
