“…This asylum dispositive holds refugees in a very specific place (accommodation facilities) and determines as far as possible how they should (and must) behave in different spaces of society. Täubig (2009: 196) coined the term ‘organized disintegration’ meaning strategies that deliberately ‘disintegrate’ people by depriving them of basic lifestyle options, including technological services such as maintenance opportunities and network availability.…”

This article links the personal use/meaning of information and communications technology for refugees and asylum seekers with their visibility/invisibility in public spaces. More precisely, it gives insights into how the personal and public spheres of asylum seeking interrelate when discussing connectivity. In doing so, I discuss the following research questions: How is connectivity embedded in refugees and asylum seekers’ everyday practices? And in addition, in which ways does this personal dimension interact with the public (structural level), given their increased presence in public spaces? In order to respond to the research questions, a qualitative-ethnographic approach was chosen for this study by adopting different research methods: Participatory observations, semi-structured interviews, expert interviews, and document analysis. Such an approach is fundamental to avoid a media-centric analysis without accounting for offline contextual lives, power relations, and experiences. As the results show the meaning of connectivity within the asylum experience raises a public as well as a personal dimension. As such the meaning of the Internet is based on the agency of asylum seekers given restricted access to public spaces and social support offline. Thus, the results reveal that both Internet access and experiences of transnationalism/displacement constitute and configure connectivity. Following this line of argument, connectivity widely compensates for the spaces of action, spaces of learning, spaces of interaction, and spaces for information that are missing offline, in the process of emplacing themselves in a new environment.

“…In general, mass accommodation has a direct impact on refugee security, autonomy, privacy and agency. The accommodation and living conditions in mass accommodations are characterised by systematic alienation, de-subjectification and a lack of agency (Pieper, 2013;Täubig, 2009;Vey, 2018). Refugees are "confined, controlled and managed" (Pieper, 2013, 11, own translation).…”

Exclaves in the Externalisation Society: Accommodation, provisions and care for refugees in Germany

Externalisation is a core structural feature of capitalist societies. The negative effects of a capitalist mode of society and economy are externalised to other countries and later generations. The question that will be addressed in this paper is how externalisation societies respond when people from the externalised societies push into the inside of the externalisation countries, as for example in the context of forced migration. In this article, using the example of the accommodation, provision and care system for refugees in Germany, I will show that a fundamental element of externalisation is to re-externalise the people fleeing to the Global North into exclaves within the externalisation societies. I therefore argue that refugee accommodations need to be theorised as exclaves in externalisation societies, since spaces are created that are outside of these societies despite being territorially enclosed. In order to understand the character of the exclaves’ borders and the bordering processes, I will refer to Critical Border Studies. This area of study helps us to conceptualise borders not only and not mainly as the material demarcation lines of a social entity. Instead, they result from a permanent social practice. They can be drawn almost anywhere and by anyone. Therefore, I will also trace the intended and unintended bordering processes in the context of refugee accommodation, and I will present examples in which these processes have failed. The added value of my contribution lies on three levels. First, I extend the externalisation concept and apply it to a new topic. Second, I add a global perspective to the understanding of refugee accommodation, provisions and care in externalisation societies by applying the externalisation approach to this field. Third, by introducing Critical Border Studies, I flesh out the externalisation concept by showing that borders are decentralised, highly fluid, never closed and neither universally valid nor visible to everyone.
