Baseret på to års forskning i private redningsaktørers erfaringer med at redde menneskeliv på Middelhavet undersøger denne artikel migrationskrisen som en humanitær krise. Gennem både online- og offlineinterviews, seminarer og fel- tarbejde om bord på private redningsskibe i havn har jeg indsamlet data, der giver et intimt indblik i redningsaktørernes erfaringer.

Risk, Improvisation, and Emergency Governance on the Mediterranean Sea
While Somali migrants see migration as a response to the deteriorating situation in their country of origin, the European Union (EU) governs irregular migration as an emergency and as a root cause of insecurity. Based on fieldwork among European journalists and staff working with private search and rescue operations, this article explores the human consequences of the Anti-Refugee Machine (ARM) resulting from the emergency discourse of migration …
Fragments of solidarity
The article provides a framework through which to analyse the experiences and social trajectories of migration from East Africa to North Africa and Europe. On the one side, it explores the systematic relationship between war and mobility, and on the other, it highlights the social worlds generated by such mobility. The article argues that these social worlds represent crucial elements for understanding contemporary (Eastern) African societies and…
Images of torture
Recent migration trends among the Somali youth and the rise of the migrant smuggling network, in Somali known as Magafe, have rendered traditional practices of solidarity ambiguous. Somali notions of solidarity have historically been a mechanism of care within the clan system. In this article, we argue that traditional practices of solidarity are challenged through the intensification of ransom collection in the Somali community. In recent years,…
Tahriib – Journeys into the Unknown
This book presents an innovative approach to migration by exploring Somali youths’ ‘journeys into the unknown’, known as tahriib
The “Transnational Business of Death” Among Somali Migrants in the Streets of Athens
Migrants risk their lives when venturing out on hazardous journeys to escape unbearable situations in their countries of origin. Some, unfortunately, lose their lives en route. When such tragedies happen, a border-crossing social network of brokers, fellow travelers, family members, and friends of the deceased engage in a “transnational business of death” involving exchanges of money, things, information, and rumors. Based on ethnographic fieldwo…
Securing the Future? IDentity and Security among Migrants, Policymakers, and Tech Developers
As an attempt to ensure national security, there has been an increased use of biometric technologies in recent years. These involve a wide range of technologically mediated practices which format and digitalize bodily attributes such as fingerprints, iris and face, for the registration and verification of the identity of individuals. While biometrics are used in a wide range of settings and assume an increasingly important regulating role in soci…
Issue Introduction
Biometric technologies using digital representations of bodily characteristics to identify individuals have become an institutionalised method of registering and recognising persons, thereby establishing their right to cross borders. Based on situated ethnographic fieldwork among tech-developers, border police, forensics, IT hacktivists and migrants, this special issue illuminates how biometric technologies are put to use and experienced by the d…
Crossing (Biometric) Borders
Based on fieldwork among Somali men and women in Somaliland, Turkey and Italy, this article examines the interaction between two ways in which identity is created. On the one hand, there are the conclusive IDentities that clan structures within Somaliland attempt to create based on geneology, as well as those that immigration officials attempt to establish for border-crossers through 'credible' documents or the registration of fingerprints. On th…
The Biometric Border World
Since the 1990s, biometric border control has attained key importance throughout Europe. Employing digital images of, for example, fingerprints, DNA, bones, faces or irises, biometric technologies use bodies to identify, categorize and regulate individuals’ cross-border movements. Based on innovative collaborative fieldwork, this book examines how biometrics are developed, put to use and negotiated in key European border sites. It analyses the di…
