Death is a constant feature of lives lived at the borders for migrants trying to reach Europe without the necessary authorizations from nation-states. At the border between Melilla and Morocco, many stories are told about near death experiences during attempts to cross both land and maritime borders, as well as about abandoned bodies. Other common narratives focus on the living dead, on the missing presumed dead, on unidentified bodies, and on the living who continue to be haunted by the disappeared. Drawing on ethnographic material, this paper examines the ways in which migrants' journeys and subjectivities are shaped by death on the migrant trail to Europe.
对于那些未经民族国家必要授权试图抵达欧洲的移民来说，死亡是他们在边境线上生活的一个永恒特征。在梅利利亚和摩洛哥的边境，有许多关于试图穿越陆地和海上边境时濒死经历的故事，以及关于被遗弃尸体的故事。其他常见的叙述聚焦于活死人、推定死亡的失踪者、身份不明的尸体，以及那些仍被失踪者困扰的生者。本文利用人种志材料，探讨了在前往欧洲的移民途中，死亡如何塑造移民的旅程和主体性。
