This chapter focuses, initially, on two films\u2014one a feature (<em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Escape to Paradise<\/em>, 2001), the other a documentary (<em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">La Forteresse<\/em>, 2008)\u2014both set in Switzerland in the first part of this century. Delay, obstruction and a culture of disbelief characterise their experience of seeking asylum in a convoluted and hostile system. The second half of the chapter concentrates upon an even greater culture of endless waiting, disbelief and hostility, this time in the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre, Papua New Guinea, which is, effectively, an Australian offshore prison for the warehousing of refugees. This experience is recorded in the remarkable \u2018auto-ethnography\u2019 of Behrouz Boochani: <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">No Friend but the Mountains<\/em> (2019).&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Roger Bromley, Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/978-3-030-73596-8_3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[167],"tags":[693,404,112,50,459,32,709,307,269,9,164,324,94,103,347],"class_list":["post-33805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ethnicity-languages-religion-arts","tag-693","tag-arts","tag-asylum-procedure","tag-asylum-seekers","tag-australia","tag-book-chapter","tag-cinema","tag-civil-and-political-rights","tag-detention","tag-english-language","tag-exclusion","tag-immobility","tag-political-system","tag-refugees","tag-testimonies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33805\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
