ABSTRACT The article asks how we can make sense of the central role attributed to technology in border policing today and relates discussions of ‘techno-’ or ‘technology-driven’ (border) policing to the issue of knowledge. It examines EUROSUR, a set of measures for placing the external borders of the European Union under, ‘real-time’ surveillance. It argues that current understandings of knowledge in the border policing literature require conceptual specification to make otherwise unnoticed aspects of border policing amenable to empirical inquiry. To this end, the article foregrounds the notion of centres of calculation as a way to refine inquiries into policing as ‘knowledge work’. It examines knowledge arrangements related to European border policing, showing how the understanding that border policing is concerned with and operates through flows is contingently and progressively built through processes of stabilisation, mobilisation and extension of social and material networks of actors, institutions and devices.

欧洲边境警务：EUROSUR，知识，计算

摘要本文提出了如何理解当今边界警务中归因于技术的核心作用，并将“技术”或“技术驱动”（边境）警务的讨论与知识问题联系起来的问题。它研究了EUROSUR，这是一套将欧盟的外部边界置于“实时”监视之下的措施。它认为，当前对边界警务文献中知识的理解需要概念上的规范，以使边界警务的其他未被注意的方面适合于实证研究。为此，本文将计算中心的概念作为一种将查询细化为“知识工作”的策略的方法。它研究与欧洲边境警务有关的知识安排，
