journey to the land of asylum
To my grandmother, gone on a trip, the day of the publication of this site

The perfect asylum seeker
is a relevant individual
of the instituting imagination.
It is the work of a human collective which has given it a legal definition.
The perfect asylum seeker is a relevant individual
of the instituted imagination.
Its very existence has spawned a set of institutions responsible for giving it reality, justifying it through political discourse, through asylum laws, through legal texts,
by the language that calls him "asylum seeker".
In conclusion,
if the perfect asylum seeker
does not exist,
The aim of this book is to provide the possibility
the asylum seeker to becomea being-subject:
a being fully aware of what is at play
during his interview at OFPRA,
an actor in his story and not a spectator
of an interview determining the rest of his life.
