Strange encounters

Abstract: Debates about migration tend to force a representation of migrants into two categories: criminal or victim. Both of these categories feed each other and form the basis for discourses that substantiate the need for detention prisons and the incarceration of migrants. Map.crisis-scape.net is an online map of racist attacks with a focus on Athens, Greece. One aim of the map has been to attempt a different type of representation of the issues surrounding migration that does not place the migrant at the centre of attention, but instead focuses on the violent conditions that affect their lives.
