Between Philosophy and Literature: Bakhtin and the Question of the Subject

Whether or not their reconceptualization of national responsibilities demonstrates the governments’ direct culpability for border-related deaths, it is clear that several unresolved questions remain: What lies behind the political fixation on border protection? To what extent is state sovereignty a barrier to “preventing the violence associated with border controls” (211)? Does the paradigm of security offer an alternative to tackling this issue? And what is the role of humanitarian rescue in the growing migration crisis? Despite their stimulating arguments and analyses, the “governance of people” and the “responsibility to protect”—the normative standpoints they advocate—are not sufficiently endorsed. Globalization and Borders is essential reading for all those who are concerned with the politics of migration. Challenging the hegemonic discourse of border control, it sheds new light on the multifaceted phenomenon of border crossing and, though published in 2011, it sadly anticipates the recent surge in the number of deaths of migrants and asylum-seekers.
