Beskrivning
An abridged and translated version of Lineas de fuga. Ciudadania, frontera y sujeto migrante, first published in Spanish in 2021.Lines of Flight: Citizenship, Borders, and Migrant Subjectivity offers an incisive, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary approach to the constellation of real-world and philosophical issues related to borders and migration in our global era. Exile, internal displacement, transnational relocation, and diaspora all operate under the conditions imposed by political, economic, and ecological transformations. Restrictions imposed by border regulations, strategies of determent, and discourses of power legitimize the rejection and deportation of migrants based on arguments of national security and degradation of the other. Exploring categories such as citizenship, sovereignty, nationalism, identity, and otherness, Mabel Moraña articulates critical and theoretical positions about the emergence, nature, and significance of borders and migration with particular attention to the challenges posed by racism, criminal activities directed toward migrants, and governmental prosecutions.

Migration is a good instance of what anthropologists used to call a ‘total social fact.’ Politics and society, culture and economy, law and aesthetics are all traversed by the challenge of migration. Therefore, a panoply of disciplines and perspectives are at work in the study of migration, producing a huge body of knowledge but also a certain sense of fragmentation. This amazing book by Mabel Moraña is quite unique in this respect. While she builds upon a vast number of investigations from several disciplines, Moraña succeeds in providing readers with a tightly integrated framework for the analysis of one of the most challenging questions of our time. Following what she, with Gilles Deleuze, calls migrants’ ‘lines of flight,’ she masterfully intertwines the investigation of borderlands and maritime frontiers with the analysis of poetry, works of art, and philosophical debates without ever forgetting the materiality of migration. Mabel Moraña has written a landmark work that will leave a mark in future studies of borders and migration.
