“…My contribution is not empirical but belongs to a form of 'grounded political theory' (Ackerly et al 2021) based on the considerable fieldwork produced on the French-Italian border region. I mobilize firsthand sociological and ethnological studies, especially Amigoni et al (2021), Filippi, Giliberti and Queirolo Palmas (2021), Giliberti (2018), Lendaro (2018), Selek and Trucco (2020), Trucco (2018), and Vergnano (Vergnano 2020a;2020b;. My main source in discussing Herrou's reasoning and justifications consists of his press releases and textual productions, including his recently published book.…”

Sanctuary cities have experienced a strong political and theoretical revival in the last decade. However, the focus on cities and their policies restricts the idea of sanctuary to its urban, legal andto a certain extent -North American enactments, leaving dispersed and rural forms of sanctuary understudied. In this paper, I examine the sanctuary spaces and practices in the Roya Valley, at the border between Italy and France, and more particularly the journey of its most well-known activist, the farmer Cédric Herrou. Although Herrou's first actions could be best described as humanitarian and hospitable help towards migrants, they gradually evolved into more structured solidarity actions. These led to a decision by the Constitutional Council that strengthened the French constitutional value of fraternity to better distinguish disinterested support from human smuggling motivated by profit. I argue that these three concepts of fraternity, hospitality and solidarity identify different repertoires of sanctuary that respectively fulfil functions of signalling, protecting and community-building. These different functions, when articulated together, constitute a sanctuary or network of safety. By reconstructing this series of practices and justifications, I aim to clarify the conceptual vocabulary and normative appeal of sanctuary.

“…Similarly, those minors who do not apply for asylum should be entitled to child protection in Italy as children "at risk" (Autorità Garante per l'Infanzia et l'Adolescenza, 2019); however, local and youth care authorities did not offer any protective intervention to those over the age of 14 or to those refusing to stay in Italy (Intersos, 2017). The political and citizen obstruction of possible protective interventions, such as transit centres without compulsory registration (Trucco, 2018), left child protection officers with limited options, despite their heartfelt will to respond to these beneficiaries' needs and priorities (Rongé, 2012). Left without status, it became unclear whose national or local authority was responsible for them (Iusmen, 2020).…”

This article explores unaccompanied adolescent minors’ (UAMs) experiences of deterrent practices at internal EU borders while being on the move. Previous studies have acknowledged the securitisation of external borders through gatekeeping and fencing practices; however, there is a recent and continued renationalisation of internal EU borders by the member states. Like other migrants who are travelling irregularly, UAMs also often face harsh living conditions and repeated rights violations in border areas, regardless of their specific rights to protection and psychological needs. Research has called for a renewed focus on migrant children’s experiences as active agents at the borders, but until now studies exploring UAMs’ experiences at internal EU borders remain scarce. Drawing on Agamben’s notion of “legal exception,” we seek to explore how deterrent practices are confusingly intertwined and affect UAMs’ psychological wellbeing and subjectivities in the Ventimiglia border space. Participant observations and in-depth interviews conducted with UAMs at the French-Italian border provide unique insights into how these bordering practices affect migrant children’s legal and psychological safety and reshape their subjectivities. This contribution highlights UAMs’ conflicting needs and feelings of institutional “abandonment” when left without institutional welfare protection in the border space, on the one hand, and feeling pressured to act responsibly towards their relatives, on the other.

“…Indeed, this paper illustrates, border controls in Calais and Ventimiglia are characterised by bordering mechanisms and modes of containment that constantly change over time. Scholars have written about borders controls in Calais and in Ventimiglia (Ibrahim, Howarth, 2018;Trucco, 2018), about police violence and the militarisation of borders (Gilberti, 2018) and migrant protests (Cantat, 2016;Rygiel, 2011). However, little has been said about the violence enforced by the repeated dismantling of migrants' infrastructures of collective liveability and by police harassment apt at cramping and choking migrants (but see Ansems de vries, Guild, 2018; Welander, 2020) 3 .…”
