Abstract
Based on ethnographic fieldwork among border police on four Schengen borders, the presentation explores the linkages and dissociations between human and technological intelligence in the daily work of border and security control.
On the ground where borders are established on a daily basis, identification is a very mundane matter made of human·technological encounters, direct sensory, verbal and affective interaction, ephemeral negotiations and the shorthand scenarization of imagined pasts and projected futures – crafting “plausible stories” through a complex work of human “intuition” and “creativity” for which ID data doubles constitute only the crude starting points.
