Lorenzo Olivieri

Lorenzo Olivieri joined the Processing Citizenship project in 2019 as a PhD candidate. The goal of his research is to enquire what are the modalities of resistance exerted by migrants in their encounters with information technologies for migration management. More specifically, he focuses on the friction between border-crossers’ temporalities of resistance and the temporalities of control and discipline embedded into the European migration management. To enquire these issues, Lorenzo relies on narrative interviews with asylum seekers, lawyers and cultural mediators. In addition to this, he has attempted to develop a ‘serious game’ which problematizes some of the power relations and knowledge asymmetries that characterize migration management.
