Sumario:Public and academic debates and activism around border and migration controls worldwide have been characterised by fierce contestation and polarisation, which in large part are fired up by electoral games, corporate interests, and identity politics. Advocates of border enclosure highlight the multiple protective functions of the border. The border is here imagined as a benevolent device to spot and stop risky and at-risk people, to create a ‘bordered order’. Meanwhile, its critics denounce the violence, harm and brutalisation that ensue from border enforcement. In this paper, I explore the place of race and affects for shoring up and disrupting bordered orders with specific focus on contemporary British politics of migration. In so doing, the paper seeks to offer conceptual and methodological tools to rethink the relationship between borders and affects.
