This critical analytical work points to the shifting geo-spatialities of contemporary bordering (Broeders & Hampshire, 2013), and recognises the deterritorializing effects of security practices which rely on`remote control', biometrics, smart technologies, digitized data-capture, and a myriad of pre-emptive, filtering, screening and scanning technologies (Amoore, 2006;Broeders, 2007;Cote-Boucher, 2008;Muller, 2010). The notion of a border as geographically fixed at the territorial frontiers of a political community is superseded by a sense of its`everywhereness' (Lyon, 2005), its ubiquity (Balibar, 2002), its simulation (Bogard, 1996), its performativity (de Lint, 2008; Schouten, 2014), and as part of a continuum of securitisation which not only relocates border securities to`the public spaces of the railway station, shopping mall and sports stadium' (Amoore, Marmura, & Salter, 2008, p. 96) but also`brings remote and forgotten locations -islands, deserts, metropolitan peripheries, hidden parts of airports and ports -into topological proximity with the conspicuous and visible heartlands of nation-states and political regions' (Mezzadra and Neilson, 2012, pp. 68-69). ...
