SynopsisGardenier aims to shed light on what appears to be the emergence of a new society of vigilance, especially around borders in Calais and Dover. Based on field research on both sides of the Channel, he aims to understand the dynamics of anti-migrants groups whose action is halfway between classical social movement and vigilantism., Towards a Vigilant Society sheds light on the emergence of a new society of vigilance, in particular the actions of anti-migrant groups around Dover and Calais. Based on field research on both sides of the channel, it studies the dynamics of these groups - midway between a social movement and vigilantism - at these two key points in the international migration route between the European Union and the United Kingdom. In recent years, a series of anti-migrant groups have been mobilising on both sides of the Channel to counter migrations. Their actions range from demonstrations, to violence against migrants. And by staging their actions on social media, which is an extraordinary sounding board, these groups can build an online community and a mass audience, influencing public opinion and even the migration policies of states.

On one hand, citizens are increasingly called upon to participate in policing. On the other, radical groups proclaim themselves as guardians of order and carry out happenings, actions, exposures, and even some acts of violence. Gardenier intends to think particularly about this phenomenon around migratory processes. Calais and Dover have become nexuses of international migration between the European Union and the United Kingdom.For the last few years, a series of anti-migrant groups have been mobilising on both sides of the Channel to counter migrations. Their repertoire of action consists of demonstrations, happenings, but also acts of vigilantism and even violence against migrants. The staging of their actions on social media allows them to build an online community and even mass audience and sometimes to influence public opinion or even the migratory policies of states. Gardenier offers a reflection on these new relationships to security where participation in law and order has become increasingly important, especially as social media has become an extraordinary sounding board., Towards a Vigilant Society sheds light on the emergence of a new society of vigilance, in particular the actions of anti-migrant groups around Dover and Calais.
