Introduction: Mediterranean Movements and the Reconfiguration of the Military"Humanitarian Border in 2015

This article deals with the transformations occurred in the government of refugees in the Mediterranean since 2013, when the military"humanitarian operation Mare Nostrum was launched by the European Union. The paper analyses how military and humanitarian practices are entangled in governing refugees and develops the notion of military"humanitarianism. The Mediterranean borderzone has undergone radical reconfigurations over the last few years. Particularly, new technologies of control for strengthening the role of the Mediterranean Sea as a pre"frontier of Europe have been put in place. The production and the declaration of a "refugee crisis" in Europe has contributed to producing important shifts within the field of humanitarianism: from a politics for alleviating suffering, humanitarianism has progressively been redefined as a politics of rescue. Simultaneously, military actors, such as the Navy, have gained center stage in performing humanitarian task (saving migrant lives at sea). Our paper interrogates the spatiality of these processes.
