This volume has argued that the way we see the world shapes the way in which we organise and legislate the lives of our communities. The surrounding imagery has a deep influence on the ethical and legal duties we envision towards others and the relationship betweenthem. In our contemporary world, as our reliance on visual communication increases, so too will the prominence of visual imagery. Deconstructing the way in which we gaze at others can help us uncover multiple presumptions hidden behind the irresistible allure of the image. After all, despite being bombarded by thousands of images every day, we often remain unaware of the frames, gaze points and messages encapsulated in the field of appearance in the pictures we look at. Surrounded by visual campaigns and often glued to the screens of our mobile phones, we too often assume that this visual reality exists in separation from the social contract we constantly negotiate and has little to do with the laws we live by. Yet – as Ihope this volume has shown for lawmakers, lawyers dealing with migration cases, human rights activists or scholars teaching migration law – understanding the visual presumptions behind images ofmigrants may be crucial for understanding why, despite decades of arguing in favour of recognising the rights of migrants, we are steadily moving away from rights-based approaches and towards a heavilycrimmigration-based system regulating migration.This book has focused primarily on the ethical distance that archetypal images of migrants establish between host and guest. It has shown how archetypal representations of those arriving at the border perpetuate dominantperspectives shaped by the host gaze and reinforce the host’s existing presumptions about those arriving.
