Brilliant piece on how academic writing can document every element of coercion while still refusing to call it what it is. The line about dissolving violence into ambience really captures what happens when policy langauge replaces political clarity. I've seen this same pattern in migration research where describing harm somehow becomes seperate from opposing the structures that create it. The Lampedusa connection makes the global containment architecture impossible to ignore.
