This article deals with the technologies and apps that asylum seekers need to navigate as forced hindered techno-users in order to get access to asylum and financial support. With a focus on the Greek refugee system, it discusses the multiple technological intermediations that asylum seekers face when dealing with the cash assistance programme and how asylum seekers are obstructed in accessing asylum and financial support. It explores the widespread disorientation that asylum seekers experience as they navigate un-legible techno-scripts that change over time. The article critically engages with the literature on the securitization and victimization of refugees, and it argues that asylum seekers are not treated exclusively as potential threats or as victims, but also as forced hindered subjects; that is, they are kept in a condition of protracted uncertainty during which they must find out the multiple technological and bureaucratic steps they are requested to comply with. In the final section, the article illustrates how forced technological mediations actually reinforce asylum seekers’ dependence on humanitarian actors and enhance socio-legal precarity.

庇护的技术障碍:寻求庇护者作为被迫的技术用户并通过迷失方向进行管理

本文介绍寻求庇护者作为被迫受阻的技术用户需要使用的技术和应用程序,以便获得庇护和经济支持。它以希腊难民系统为重点,讨论了寻求庇护者在处理现金援助计划时面临的多种技术中介,以及寻求庇护者在获得庇护和财政支持方面如何受到阻碍。它探讨了寻求庇护者在浏览随时间变化的难以辨认的技术脚本时所经历的普遍迷失方向。文章批判性地探讨了有关难民安全化和受害的文献,并认为寻求庇护者不仅被视为潜在威胁或受害者,而且还被视为被迫受阻的对象;那是,他们处于长期不确定的状态,在此期间他们必须找出要求他们遵守的多种技术和官僚步骤。在最后一部分,文章说明了强制技术调解实际上如何加强了寻求庇护者对人道主义行动者的依赖,并增强了社会法律的不稳定。
