| description | Through analysing the correspondence between key refugee camp commanders
based at Amsterdam's Lloyd Hotel and different authorities involved in Dutch
refugee matters, this paper examines how "the Dutch state" responded to
German-Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany in the prelude to World War II.
Using a largely Foucauldian approach to discipline, power, security and
governmentality to examine the bio-, macro- and micro-politics behind the
management of these refugees and their lived spaces, we seek to illustrate
how the Lloyd Hotel formed part of a quasi-carceral spatial regime
implemented to segregate and contain those with an unclear legal status at a
time of political confusion. The article also seeks to show how the
involvement of different authorities at different scales brought serious
implications for the status, spatial regimentation, mobilities and future of
the refugees. |
