<sup>Effie Yiannopoulou, Kap. 30: Migration, S. 426-428:

"...Boukal, however, does more than expose the power dynamics-and indirectly engage the histories of cultural and social determination-thar control who can move and how. She brings into focus the relational character of mobilities in all their material manifestations. Countering dominant public discourses that stage migration as a threat inherently from the "outside," Boukal's work proposes a framework that identifies a relationship of interdependence connecting privileged and marginal mobilities. Encoded here through their representation as ruins, the synecdochic signs of migration encircle what is represented as a "fenced in" system of Western cultural and economic hegemony, rupturing its borders partly by means of resignifying its spaces. The same beaches that act as holiday resorts for the affluent Westerners are identified as sites of dispossession, death, and burial when their postcard-type photographs are strategically placed among the visual traces of missing migrant bodies. Migrant ruination is shown thus to haunt Europe with a vision of its own finitude and constructedness, suggesting that, as an idea and an institution, "it hasn't always been there" and "it will not always be there, it is finite" (Derrida 44). At once, it also confronts the West with the very precariousness that is lodged, even if foreclosed, at the heart of its self-perceprion and which migration itself embodies-roigrancy posited here, in all its unpredictability, as a constituent element in Western ontological structures and histories..."</sup>
