Resumen

***Refugiados hoy: superfluidad y humanitarismo***

En este artículo se describen algunos problemas relacionados con enfoque humanitario para “resolver” la llamada crisis de los refugiados en Europa, en el otoño de 2015, cuando miles de refugiados partieron hacia la UE, la mayoría de ellos a Alemania, la llamada ruta migratoria de los Balcanes. Mientras que algunos países europeos, como Eslovenia, comenzaron a colocar cercas de alambre de púas en sus fronteras del sur, los otros volvieron a tomar el control de sus fronteras interiores de la UE y casi todos han introducido más restricciones a las leyes vigentes en materia de protección internacional de los refugiados y asilados. Al abordar la cuestión de cuál es el elemento central del “problema de los refugiados” en la actualidad, el principal argumento se basa en el concepto “superfluo” de Hannah Arendt como la característica clave de la nueva forma de gobierno global. Hay dos lados de la superfluidad del fenómeno que son cruciales para entender la situación en relación con la llamada “migración masiva”, el problema de los “refugiados”: lo de los “migrantes” y lo de “nosotros”. Independientemente de la necesidad de una dosis de humanitarismo en esos momentos, se centran en la “solución” problema humanitario de ocultar la pregunta clave: ¿cómo proporcionar, tan pronto como sea posible y, a largo plazo, que excluidos  e las unidades políticas y derecho están incluidos (tienen el derecho a tener derechos) en una comunidad política?
