In the autumn of 2015 more than 32 000 asylum-seekers arrived in Finland, most of them traveling through the Tornio border crossing point from Haparanda, Sweden. The situation was exceptional and as a response, the Finnish government relocated hundreds of security authorities and servicemen to register the asylumseekers and to control the border crossing. In the research literature such a border securitization, an approach where migrants and asylums are approached from the viewpoint of security instead of human rights, is considered problematic. This paper examines the local authorities and civic actors' stories of border securitization and asylum reception in Tornio by employing everyday geopolitics as a theoretical and methodological framework. Everyday geopolitics approach is sensitive to the practices and experiences of border securitization at local and intimate scales. The main research finding is that local actors are aware of the wider geopolitical and societal discourses of threat. However, their stories of local and everyday practices emphasize feelings of safety, trust and cooperation at both national and supranational scales. Instead of focusing the feelings of safety merely on the discursive production of threat and danger, it is important to unfold the more contextual, local and mundane interpretations of border securitization.

“…This understanding of gaming as a type of becoming connects with recent calls in popular geopolitics to understand the performative nature of consuming media (Dittmer and Dodds 2008;Dittmer and Gray 2010). Even viewing a movie-a seemingly 'passive' activity-involves all kinds of emotional feedbacks and reinscriptions of meaning; little and not-so-little embodied and cognitive participations.…”

“…I found that phenotype in hip-hop is mediated in different ways, dependent on particular imagined geographies that frame the potential for listening, reading, and responding (see Dittmer and Gray, 2010). These mediations are inflected by a consciousness of the privileges and exclusions implicated by phenotype (Saldanha, 2006 and.…”

Hip-hop is often studied as a 'political' culture. Listeners, however, often contest the attachment of a political nature to hip-hop. After the 'dilution' of "real" hip-hop by record labels seeking to package the sound for mainstream consumption, is it fair to say that hip-hop retains political relevance? To address this question I make two moves. In the first, I approach hip-hop from a perspective that moves beyond lyrics, seeking to understand what the music 'does' rather than what it represents. In the second, I take this approach to the study of race in hip-hop culture, examining how phenotypical variation affects the affordances and subject-positions available to a given body in hip-hop culture. In approaching hip-hop through the materiality of racial difference, I find that the "political" in hip-hop emerges in moments of creative and ethical experimentation in the face of alterity.
