  • Limits and borders of the right to asylum in the Mediterranean Space. Ethnography of certain escape routes from Syria Abstract In the frame of the Syrian citizens’ flight to the MENA region and to Europe between 2013 and 2016, this research reflects on the very content of the right to asylum in three border zones of Southern Europe (Lesvos, Sicily and Melilla) in order to shed light on its variable contours. Starting by an analysis of the reconfiguration of the Mediterranean space in the post-2011, both as migration regime and political space, the research path focuses to the right to asylum issue by putting the question of access at the core: access to the territory of a (supposed to be) safe country, access to the asylum procedure, and access to first reception. Moreover it examines the agency and voice of Syrian refugees during their journeys in order to promote a better understanding of certain inedited social phenomena of which they have been protagonists. The most relevant was the challenge of the prescriptions imposed by the Dublin Regulation, which took shape through various kinds of interactions with (old and new) stakeholders, and in some cases through acts of resistance, aimed at pursuing their journeys to Central the Northern European countries, generally imagined as final destinations.

    Through a multi-sited ethnography and a comparative approach the research attempted to explore the mechanisms through which refugees’ agency has developed and the main contents of their voice by showing how they have been able to call into question certain social structures, such as those embodied by migration and border regimes. In refugees’ narratives concerning their “ to and throughout Europe, their self-representation as human beings, who are entitled of specific fundamental rights as such, emerges as dominant and foster an interpretation of their paths of agency and resistance as rational answers to the current emptying process of the right to asylum. In other words, their secondary movements appear as attempts to revitalize the right to asylum, by filling it with the better possible content.
