Da Simmel a Foucault, cercando una teoria per la politica migratoria dell'UE

More than a step forward in a research path, this essay signals the achievement of a limitation of its author. The starting point is the reconstruction of the theoretical path developed in the search for a theoretical framework of political thought adequate to understand and frame the developments of EU policies toward migrants. From Simmel's concept of the foreigner to Arendt’s conscious pariahs to Fanon to Foucault's biopolitics, declined in different approaches, none seems able to give theoretical framework to the relentless erasure of migrants that the EU is pursuing.
