The Centre for Regional and Borderlands Studies at the Institute of Sociology of the University of Wrocław and the University of the Greater Region Center for Border Studies (University of Luxembourg) sincerely invite you to the fifth lecture in the series ‘Border Realities: Transformation of the border and new conceptual challenges’
Nina Sahraoui (Centre for Sociological and Political Research in Paris (GTM-CRESPPA, CNRS):
Externalisation of bordering processes in Ceuta and Melilla
The concept of “internal externalisation” explores the social changes that occurred after Ceuta and Melilla became the frontlines of ‘Fortress Europe’. I use the concept of the daily bordering to shed light on the links between externalisation and the social consequences of this process at the micro level – for “undocumented” residents of Moroccan origin in the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.
The admission of children to schools and access to healthcare for pregnant women are symbolic issues, as these groups are usually portrayed as vulnerable and tend to benefit from some form of integration in mainland Spain and many other European countries. The lecture aims to show how the exclusion policy is tightened in places where migration control is entangled in multiple levels of externalisation.
