ABSTRACT

This concluding chapter seeks to offer a ‘speculative blueprint’ towards a less violent and segregated world, inspired by the many migrant struggles followed in this book. While they are not prescriptive of a better world to come, they can be conceived as prefigurative transformations constitutive of a world that will look quite different to the one we inhabit at the moment. Understanding their disobedient movements as movements of freedom, situated somewhere between movement conceived as motion and politics, they offer lines of flight, and lines of fight. Taking on Foucault’s call for a ‘hyper- and pessimistic activism’, this chapter concludes by arguing against apathy and for the creation of coalitions of struggle that work collectively towards alternative political horizons, and for which migratory enactments of freedom can give the spark.
