Summary:

Offers an in-depth insight into the intimate work of the state situated within the closed-off sites and settings of asylum adjudication processes. Gives a nuanced understanding of the tense and emotional bureaucratic practices and experiences related to making life-altering and time-pressured decisions over a person's 'deservingness' to legal in- or exclusion. Brings together scholarship on migration, borders, affect theory and science and technology studies.
