The paper defines some aspects of the border as a political technology for the selection and governance of mobility, identifying the decisive traits of a border imaginary, that is, a system of founding meanings that structure specific articulations of actors, discourses, representations and operating procedures. Between 2015 and 2016, an increase in arrivals on Italian coasts and the reintroduction of border controls and blockades by States bordering Italy, have transformed some railway stations into transit nodes of secondary mobility flows, defining emergency scenarios. Referring to the city of Como, the author investigates the way in which this emergency has constituted, in and around the station, spaces of visibility, discursive regimes and interactions between different actors, highlighting the tensions between securitarian approaches, forms of assistance and practices of resistance.
Keywords: Border imaginary; government of mobility; control; humanitarian selection; no border; railway station.
