Welcome to Invisible Borders

In this premiere episode of Invisible Borders, we take a step back to explore the bigger picture: how Europe’s borders and surveillance technologies work together to maintain systems of power.We focus on the Balkan Route to reveal how, funded by the EU, migration is increasingly framed as a security issue and transformed into a market for tech companies. Along the way, we unpack concepts like techno-solutionism, postcolonial legacies of surveillance, and the political economies driving the border surveillance industry.Sound Design: Brian Mcnamara SoundGraphic Design: Marlene Janke and Dan SchoolarFor the full list of episodes, transcripts and additional resources, visit https://invisible-borders.jimdosite.com/ Hosted on Acast.
