Murphy <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 11:26 AM Subject: [WSF-Discuss] On migration and identity: nterrogating the meaning and apparatus of global border regimes To: [email protected] <http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n05/frances-stonorsaunders/where-on-earth-are-you> http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n05/frances-stonorsaunders/where-on-earth-are-you *‘All migrants know that the reply to the question “Who on earth are you?” is another question: “Where on earth are you?” And so they want what we’ve got, a verified self that will transport them to our side of history.’ * ~ Frances Stonor Saunders *Globalisation promised a borderless world, but it has delivered an age of neurotically policed zones and cubicles. To cross a border legally now involves an unprecedented level of scrutiny: fingerprint and iris scans, chips embedded in your passport, hidden sensors to detect your heartbeat and carbon dioxide emissions from thirty feet away, the tick-box confessional of ‘Are you now or have you ever been . . .' **Frances Stonor Saunders** inspects the complex apparatus of today’s border regimes and their obsession with the verified self. Frances Stonor Saunders’s piece in this issue was delivered as the second of this year’s LRB Winter Lectures at the British Museum.
