The chapter seeks critically to analyse the multifarious forms of solidarity that are arising as a response to the migration crisis in postcolonial Europe, vis-à-vis fluid border arrangements and discursive regimes curtailing migrants’ autonomy and agency. Mobilising intersectional theoretical approaches and examples, like migrant self-organisation in the Calais Jungle, we propose to override human rights and citizenship as the overarching conceptual grids of migrant solidarity – thus seeking to contribute to and elaborate upon a radical theory capable of unearthing an autonomous mobile commons that fosters mobility and settlement in everyday life.

Abstract
The chapter seeks critically to analyse the multifarious forms of solidarity that are arising as a response to the migration crisis in postcolonial Europe, vis-à-vis fluid border arrangements and discursive regimes curtailing migrants’ autonomy and agency. Mobilising intersectional theoretical approaches and examples, like migrant self-organisation in the Calais Jungle, we propose to override human rights and citizenship as the overarching conceptual grids of migrant solidarity – thus seeking to contribute to and elaborate upon a radical theory capable of unearthing an autonomous mobile commons that fosters mobility and settlement in everyday life.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
