20.500.12556/RUL-190829 Geographies of migrant mobile containment along the Balkan route This article examines the spatial and temporal dynamics of migrant 'entrapment' in the Una-Sana Canton, a border region between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. A substantial body of scholarship has shown that journeys along migratory routes do not only consist of straightforward movement, but also involve stopping and waiting, as well as episodes of frantic hypermobility. This article focuses on a particular 'passage' along the Balkan Route, where these two dynamics converge as migrants become stranded while remaining frantically hypermobile. Through ethnographic work, we trace and analyse the complicated patterns of exhausting circular mobility experienced by three migrant families. Between frequent attempts to cross the border irregularly and seek international protection in Croatia, and pushbacks from the Croatian police, these migrant families have found themselves 'trapped in movement'. We argue that this is the result of a key strategy of deliberate 'mobile containment' enforced by border authorities, which prevents people on the move, including families with children, from accessing the protection they seek. By addressing and analysing different instances of such mobile containment, and providing a preliminary mapping of the trajectories involved, we hope to help illustrate how border enforcement strategies along the Balkan Route may imply forms of slow violence that rely on migrants' desire and imperative to move on. omejevanje mobilnosti balkanska pot nezakoniti prehodi Bosna in Hercegovina Hrvaška priseljenci true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-11-05 09:17:09 2026-11-05 09:17:10 2026-11-06 04:29:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 12 str. art. 103566 Vol. 129 Avg. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 341.215.4-054.72:316 1873-5096 10.1016/j.polgeo.2026.103566 303841283 RAZ_Klun_Turk_Lucija_2026.pdf RAZ_Klun_Turk_Lucija_2026.pdf 1 96655258D2894430D36C974076B28494 f67162ccd37fb1632f339975aac7a93cb5e5492b2c5c72a5a79f5166dbf91a0b b9223b62-d8f3-11f1-aea2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=252521 https://me-l.co/3eqkl8q2 0 9511587a-d8f3-11f1-aea2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=252520 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
