Tantear beyond borders

Research in the intersections between Science and Technology Studies (STS) and critical border/migration studies has crafted generative examinations of the material politics of borders. And yet, it is still worth asking how we can become more attentive to what is overlooked, unseen and neglected by the knowledge enacted by borders, but also by our very own embrace (as researchers) of the worlds that come with (María Puig de la Bellacasa, 2012) the dyad border-migration. In this spirit, I put forward an invitation to reshift our attention to what those bodies, enacted as no-bodies, achieve despite the invisibility placed upon them by border regimes. I hereby explore in this piece a form of knowledge and/or artisanship that has consistently served as a background protagonist in my study of the technobureaucracy of border control: handcrafting.
