Description: Vernacular Border Security by Nick Vaughan-Williams Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book argues that a conceptual and methodological shift is required in the way that border security is understood, and that a new approach is urgently required. It examines vernacular narratives of the crisis and how they offer insight into citizens knowledge of the crisis, and actually-existing alternatives to fantasies of control. Publisher Description Since the peak of Europes so-called 2015 migration crisis, the dominant governmental response has been to turn to deterrent border security across the Mediterranean and construct border walls throughout the EU. During the same timeframe, EU citizens are widely represented - by politicians, by media sources, and by opinion polls - as fearing a loss of control over national and EU borders. Despite the intensification of EU border security with visibly violenteffects, EU citizens are portrayed as threatened majorities. These dynamics beg the question: Why is it that tougher deterrent border security and walling appear to have heightened rather than diminishedborder anxieties among EU citizens? While the populist mantra of taking back control purports to speak on behalf of EU citizens, little is known about how diverse EU citizens conceptualize, understand, and talk about the so-called crisis. Yet, if social and cultural meanings of migration and border security are constructed intersubjectively and contested politically (Weldes et al. 1999), then EU citizens --as well as governmental elites and people on the move-- are significant inshaping dominant framings of and responses to the crisis. This book argues that, in order to address the overarching puzzle, a conceptual and methodological shift is required in the way that bordersecurity is understood: a new approach is urgently required that complements top-down analyses of elite governmental practices with bottom-up vernacular studies of how those practices are both reproduced and contested in everyday life.
