Art and critical writing on European exclusionism.

Xenophobia has long been a part of our history. It is at the nucleus of 
the disciplinary apparatus of the national body, encapsulated through 
rigid control on the outer expanding borders of the EU territory. New 
forms of xenophobia arise in association with certain scientific 
developments and the process of globalization. Recent historic events, 
from 9-11 to the assassination of Theo van Gogh, served to create an 
overwhelming alarm of an alleged internal menace, legitimating and 
stimulating alienating procedures on the surface level of societies. 
This insidious influence is frequently fed by misinformation, tired 
stereotypes and questionable myths saturated by mainstream media.
