“…Besides Lampedusa in Hamburg, the other major mobilization of the new refugee protest era, starting in Germany in 2012, is the Refugee Movement Berlin, who has been analyzed by several publications (Ulu 2013;Langa 2015;Wilcke and Lambert 2015;Fadaee 2015;Glöde and Böhlo 2015;Schwiertz 2016a). Their claims are part of one of the most inclusive and radical framing examples in the movement.…”

“…Most of the studies focus on local protests in Berlin (Ulu 2013;Wilcke and Lambert 2015;Fadaee 2015;Glöde and Böhlo 2015;Schwiertz 2016a) and Hamburg (Benigni and Pierdicca 2014;Meret and Della Corte 2016;Borgstede 2016). As previous research has mainly focused on single cases, we seek to provide an overview of the refugee movement, including its history, as well as a comparison of three struggles concerning our research question on different forms of organizing.…”

“…The 550 days lasting protest of 100-150 asylum seekers at the Oranienplatz in Berlin (Stone, 2017, p. 2), on which Erpenbeck based her novel on, soon reached a political dimension by the mayor's involvement in the negotiations. Such a development, the moving of the refugees from public squares and places to accommodations in premises of public institutions (Bhimji, Alman Dili ve Edebiyatı Dergisi -Studien zur deutschen Sprache und Literatur, 2018 2016; Gehrke, 2017) first forms a context of a culture of civilized handling by pointing out an administrative procedure (Fadaee, 2015). But in the end that is certainly a result of cultural history.…”

The paper discusses two currently dominating global occurrences that appear to have common features. First, backed by the example of Jenny Erpenbeck's novel Gehen, Ging, Gegangen (2015) that addresses the migration flows we witness, questions will be raised about the differences in perception of the causes for global cultural changes seeking equalization and upholding, viewed from the perspective of Western civilization, and German particularly. In the second part of the paper Gerhard Gesemann's novel Die Flucht (1935), marking the anniversaries on the occasion of WWI, is being introduced in its function of a remembrance literature dealing with the retreat of the Serbian military in the Great War together with its expelled residents from the homeland to their asylum in Corfu. By comparing these two novels on both "refugee-ness" and state of insecurity, the paper points out different cultural forms existing because of the accumulated historical experiences, and shows how this circumstance influences the understanding of the aforementioned topics. Following this idea, the contribution underlines additional differences in defining the concept of home by describing cultural patterns and their treatment of the mediated reflected reality.

“…Activists working with people subject to border control confront a constitutive tension within their work. While their activities are motivated by the pursuit of equality, the practice of anti-border work often sustains the very demarcations of difference (Friese, 2010) and the unequal distributions of agency, expertise and social capital that anti-border projects seek to challenge (Fadaee, 2015; Millner, 2011). Work on prefigurative politics has highlighted the ways activist groups seek to reimagine processes of democratic organizing that attempt to address internal power dynamics (Maeckelbergh, 2011).…”

Solidarity in spaces of ‘care and custody’: The hospitality politics of immigration detention visiting

This article contributes to criminological understanding of immigration detention by highlighting volunteer visiting as a space of embodied thinking about critical responses to the burgeoning crimmigration system. It draws from interview material with volunteer visitors and people held in immigration detention centres to assess conceptual relevance of critical hospitality studies for anti-border practice. Both within Derridean scholarship on hospitality and in social-discourses on migration, host/citizen and guest/migrant identifications are understood as stable subject positions. I argue that to support resistance to deportation and establish mutual solidarity and cooperation in this context, detention visitors adopt multiple strategies of hospitality that position themselves as visitors as well as hosts. By counter-posing differing ways that volunteers occupy these roles, I show how the copresence of divergent ways of offering hospitality allows visitors to navigate the complicities that necessarily afflict support in solidarity with migrants in carceral spaces of border control.
