Rupture, reproduction, and the state: The Arab Spring on Lampedusa as 'Layered Event'.
The Italian island of Lampedusa has become synonymous with irregular migration and border enforcement in the Mediterranean, not least since thousands of Tunisians stranded on the island during the so-called Arab Spring in 2011. This article investigates how local interpretations of the situation wer...

This article investigates how local interpretations of the situation were centred on 'abandonment by the state', and it suggests that 2011 thus represented both a moment of rupture and historical reproduction: while everyday regularities were dislodged and the local tourist industry suffered a hard blow, the interpretative frame of 'abandonment by the state' is a political relation as old as Italy itself. Inspired by Reinhardt Koselleck's thinking on multilayered and multidirectional history, the article describes 2011 as a 'layered event' that engaged both a troubled past and an uncertain future. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of History & Anthropology is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
