In this session we will look at the criminalized and segregated movements of people in the transnational space that includes Croatia and the surrounding countries. Starting from the contributions published in the e-ERIM: an online network of keywords of the European irregularized migration regime at the periphery of the EU we will tackle keywords and key images of this regime. Focus will be on the framing irregularized migratory pathways along Croatia and neighbouring countries as routes and corridors, as well as on the structures, infrastructures and  actors involved and problems of scientific, media and artistic representation. Disscuison of keywords will be followed by the reflections on the multimodal ethnographic research about everyday life of people on the move stuck in Bihać conducted in 2020/2021.
