The EGS<\/a> seminar this year will continue to pursue the question of refugees, rights, and representation. The struggle for rights and recognition occurs on a battlefield of representations, among other things, and some of the chief actors on that field are humanitarians.\u00a0 “Refugee” is a category for both humanitarian and human rights discourses, and the tension between the two representations of this condition has given rise to a robust critical literature. To claim rights is not the same thing to ask for help; the demand for justice can be very different than the plea for aid.\u00a0 Both discourses, though, make reference to the concept of ‘humanity,’ and both practices increasingly rely on forensic or evidentiary strategies. We will explore critical accounts of humanitarian action and ask about their significance in light of the ongoing criminalization not only of migrants in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, but also of the humanitarians who seek to aid them. Is a new sort of politics of humanitarian action emerging in response to this targeting? We will continue to work with the investigators of Forensic Oceanography (this year Charles Heller will join us) , and we will also meet with humanitarian activists based in Malta.<\/p>\n
