description Although the official discourse, accepted practically by all the States, speaks of a "regular, orderly and safe" migration, which has been sealed in the Global Compact for Migration, contemporary human mobility differs greatly from the desire of the rulers both in the profile and in the routes used to reach destination. This article reviews a number of 'migratory landscapes' in several places on the planet that have had as a correlate the State´s response to greater controls, appealing to the discourse of national sovereignty. The following thesis is proposed: that in this new stage of neoliberalism we are witnessing the emergence of control policy with an (in) human face of neo-fascist character, especially with the rise to power of nationalist and far-right governments that promote and practice xenophobia, racism and aporophobia. This has resulted in increased deportation, judicialization of migration, expulsion, confinement, construction of walls, extortion, kidnapping, disappearances, torture and death.

This has resulted in increased deportation, judicialization of migration, expulsion, confinement, construction of walls, extortion, kidnapping, disappearances, torture and death. Si bien el discurso oficial, aceptado prácticamente por todos los Estados, habla de una migración “regular, ordenada y segura”, lo cual ha quedado sellado en el Pacto Global de las Migraciones, la movilidad humana contemporánea difiere mucho del deseo de los gobernantes, tanto en el perfil como en las vías utilizadas para llegar al destino. El presente artículo pasa revista a algunos “paisajes migratorios” en varios lugares del planeta, que han tenido como correlato la respuesta estatal de mayores controles, apelando al discurso de la soberanía nacional. Se plantea la tesis de que en esta nueva etapa del neoliberalismo estamos presenciando el surgimiento de políticas de control con rostro (in)humano de carácter neofascista, sobre todo con el ascenso al poder de Gobiernos nacionalistas y de extrema derecha, que impulsan y practican la xenofobia, el racismo y la aporofobia. Esto ha resultado en un incremento de la deportación, judicialización de la migración, expulsión, confinamiento, construcción de muros, extorsiones, secuestros, desapariciones, tortura y muerte. Abstract Although the official discourse, accepted practically by all the States, speaks of a "regular, orderly and safe" migration, which has been sealed in the Global Compact for Migration, contemporary human mobility differs greatly from the desire of the rulers both in the profile and in the routes used to reach destination. This article reviews a number of 'migratory landscapes' in several places on the planet that have had as a correlate the State´s response to greater controls, appealing to the discourse of national sovereignty. The following thesis is proposed: that in this new stage of neoliberalism we are witnessing the emergence of control policy with an (in) human face of neo-fascist character, especially with the rise to power of nationalist and far-right governments that promote and practice xenophobia, racism and aporophobia. This has resulted in increased deportation, judicialization of migration, expulsion, confinement, construction of walls, extortion, kidnapping, disappearances, torture and death. Mesmo que o discurso oficial, aceito praticamente por todos os Estados, fale de uma migração "regular, ordenada e segura" e que este discurso se tenha consolidado no Pacto Global das Migrações, a mobilidade humana contemporânea está longe do desejo dos governantes, tanto em relação ao perfil dos migrantes, como respeito às vias utilizadas para chegar ao seu destino. O presente artigo analisa algumas "paisagens migratórias" em vários lugares do planeta que têm tido como correlato a resposta estatal de maiores controles apelando ao discurso da soberania nacional. Neste estudo se propõe a tese de que, nesta nova etapa do neoliberalismo, estamos presenciando o surgimento de políticas com rosto (des)humano de caráter neofascista, sobretudo com o ascenso ao poder de governos nacionalistas e de extrema direita que promovem e praticam a xenofobia, o racismo e a aporafobia. Isto tem gerado como resultado o aumento de deportações, a judialização da migração, expulsões, confinamento, construção de muros, extorsões, sequestros, desapariçoes, tortura e morte.  FLACSO - Sede Ecuador 2018-11-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/zip https://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/urvio/article/view/3745 10.17141/urvio.23.2018.3745 URVIO.
