This article focuses on borders as both physical and metaphysical boundaries—ones that are manifest in systems of meaning, punishment and surveillance. These systems operate on the human body as discipline and punishment in multiple ways. Drawing on a critical framework of the racialized carceral state, this article explores artistic and literary interventions by refugees against the architecture of externalized borders imposed by the Australian state. The works of the Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani and his collaborators are explored as a case study. Boochani is subject to Australia’s offshore detention regime, detained on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea. This article asks what new concepts are needed to disrupt the hierarchy of humans that is a by-product of the national border and its systems of control, criminalization and exclusion.

边界、难民和视觉文化的情感融合：澳大利亚离岸拘留制度中的 Behrouz Boochani 案

本文将边界作为物理和形而上学的边界——在意义、惩罚和监视系统中表现出来的边界。这些系统以多种方式对人体进行纪律和惩罚。本文借鉴了种族化监狱国家的批判框架，探讨了难民对澳大利亚国家强加的外部边界建筑的艺术和文学干预。库尔德-伊朗记者 Behrouz Boochani 及其合作者的作品作为案例研究进行了探索。Boochani 受澳大利亚离岸拘留制度的约束，被拘留在巴布亚新几内亚的马努斯岛。本文询问需要哪些新概念来破坏作为国家边界及其控制、刑事定罪和排斥系统的副产品的人类等级制度。
