Sažetak
Research project The European Irregularized Migration Regime at the Periphery of the EU: from Ethnography to Keywords (ERIM) funded by the Croatian Science Foundation, strives to document and analyze irregularized migrations in the transnational space formed by migratory movements that in various directions cross borders between Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia etc. Border deaths or premature deaths „that can be tied to any manifestation of state-made boundaries in any space“ (Last 2020: 21) are one of focal points of this project research, interventions and discussions. In this presentation I will try to tackle some of the main methodological and ethical issues of this research, as well as to outline how are border deaths perceived and approached along the Balkan migratory trail by different actors (states, locals, activists, relatives) and in different places (cemeteries, city squares and other public spaces, digital environment). Divergent approaches and practices will be presented and discussed from the perspective of three key concepts or keywords: postmortem itineraries, counter-memorialization and grief activism.
