Abstract

Abstract Understanding vulnerability as a process emerging unevenly through a reading of jurisprudence as literature challenges the carceral conceptualisation of immigration detention as a form of spatial control, when hegemonic narratives insist upon vulnerability as a corporeal concept born on the bodies of those subject to border violence rather than of the space itself. Through a critical reading of the text theorised through spatial vulnerability, I aim to encounter the material emergence of the gesture towards enclosure, that which must constantly deny its uneven and material originary narrative, revealing its inherent vulnerability at the site of the spectral threshold.
