Danzar (en) la frontera. La hospitalidad fugaz en la geografía fronteriza del Bidasoa

12:00 · Anthropology Seminar Room · UB

Abstract

Since the summer of 2018, the French state has been intensifying its controls on migrant mobility on the Bidasoa border. This has led to a double movement, which has activated, on the one hand, police harassment of migrants who sneak across the border and, on the other, the creation of solidarity networks that help border crossings. This seminar reports on research carried out since the autumn of 2021 and aims to trace the main elements of the atmosphere generated around this border, contrasting the fear generated by hostility with the welcome that opens up from a fleeting hospitality.
