Minfegue Calvin: The national border as a carceral device: Justifications and materialities of the Cameroonian situation

This paper argues that certain sections of Cameroon's eastern and northern borders are crossed by prison logics. In a context of rapid change, these logics help to reinforce their traditional functions, while at the same time outlining the contours of new border spatialities. In this way, they reveal locally unprecedented prison grammars, which are reflected in three specific devices: drones, video surveillance and camps.

This twentieth episode interviews Minfegue Calvin.
