<P><STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman">Call for Papers<BR>Critical Approaches
to Irregular Migration Facilitation:<BR>Dismantling the Human Smuggler
Narrative<BR>European University Institute<BR>Florence, Italy<BR><U>April 5-6,
2016</U></FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">In contemporary mainstream narratives of
migration, the human smuggler has earned a privileged if infamous spot as one of
the most widely recognized and despised global predators. Smugglers are often
referred to as orchestrators of senseless human tragedies along migration
corridors, masterminds behind sexual exploitation rings, or amassers of untold
riches made at the expense of asylum seekers, migrants and their families –in
turn often narrowly portrayed as infantile and ignorant. Constructed as
racialized, hypersexual and greedy <EM>males</EM> from the global South,
facilitators of irregular migration have earned widespread notoriety in
narratives of human and national security, particularly in the context of
migration control efforts. Scholarship on the facilitation of
irregular migration often draws from the experiences of law enforcement or of
migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, especially those who have been the target
of threats, scams or violence, further obscuring the perspectives of those
playing a role in their transits (often migrants and asylum seekers themselves).
As a result, our knowledge of irregular migration facilitation is often plagued
with fragmented perspectives on the socio-cultural dynamics of the migratory
journey, the facilitator-traveler relationship and their community
dimensions.<BR><BR>Simultaneously, there is a growing corpus of empirical and
critical work on the facilitation or brokerage of irregular migration within
migration regimes that deserves to be fostered and strengthened. With that goal
in mind we invite abstracts on the theme of irregular migration/ human mobility
facilitation for an international workshop to be held on April 5-6, 2016 at the
European University Institute in Florence, Italy. We seek critical and
empirical engagements on the topic of the facilitation and brokerage of
irregular migration as witnessed regionally and comparatively. Aware of the
multiple processes involved in the facilitation of irregular migration efforts,
facilitation is broadly conceived to include those who may not be explicitly
recognized as facilitators/smugglers, but who also develop paths conducive to
human mobility that takes place outside of legal/ized and/or state sponsored
mechanisms. <BR> <BR>Some themes to consider include:<BR>1.
Representations of human smuggling<BR>2. The social organization of human
smuggling/facilitation of irregular migration<BR>3. Gender/ed dimensions within
the facilitation of irregular migration<BR>4. Human smuggling and its encounters
with other extra-legal, criminalized, illicit markets or activities<BR>5. Ethics
of irregular/clandestine migration research<BR>6. Criminalization of irregular
migration facilitation and its implications<BR>7. New theoretical approaches to
irregular migration/human mobility<BR>8. Historical and community dimensions of
human smuggling facilitation<BR>9. Irregular migration economies</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">OUTCOMES</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Selected contributions will be part of a
proposal for the publication of a special issue and/or edited collection on the
facilitation of irregular migration/human mobility with an international journal
or publishing house. Every effort will be made to select works that allow for
breadth across and within regions. We will further aim for collaborative
opportunities among participants. Preference will be given to work that draws on
ethnographic research.<BR> </FONT></P>
