Abstract
Abstract Determining European territory is a delicate endeavor. A definite borderline is hard to identify. Instead, European security discourse spans a space with conditional qualities: open for some, impervious for many. Referring to Judith Butler's theory, this constribution’s aim is to disclose performative forces that create corresponding subject-categories. Particularly, expert-driven legislation on migration and the militarization of the security discourse is relevant. It is possible to reconstruct a multidimensional matrix of intelligibility. For this, relevant policy documents are analyzed by conducting a qualitative content analysis. This contribution allows to critically question foundational dimensions of European identity constituted by regulatory and exclusive practices at the borders. Keywords: Europe, Borders, Migration, Butler, Performativity ----- Die Performativitat des Europaischen Grenz- und Migrationsregimes Zusammenfassung Eine definitive Grenze des europaischen Territoriums lasst sich nur schwer identifizieren. Der europaische Sicherheitsdiskurs spannt einen begrenzten und exklusiven Raum auf: Offen fur manche, undurchlassig fur die meisten. Dieser Beitrag zielt auf die Offenlegung der performativen und subjektivierenden Aspekte dieser Grenzdiskurse. Die Migrations- und Asylpolitik sowie die Militarisierung des Sicherheitsdiskurses sind hier von Bedeutung. Es ist moglich, entlang der Theorie Judith Butlers eine multidimensionale Matrix der Intelligibilitat zu rekonstruieren. Dafur wurden mit Hilfe einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse relevante Policies analysiert. Der Beitrag erlaubt eine kritische Hinterfragung der durch regulatorische und exkludierende Praktiken an den Grenzen gegrundeten Europaischen Identitat.
