Abstract
This paper explores the nexus between border regimes, humanitarian grammar, and the iconic construction of the female subject to reflect on the strategic use of salvation in the Central Mediterranean migration for asylum. Drawing on research carried out since 2010 in Southern Italy’s landing zones, this analysis periodizes the discursive registers built over these years on the refugee women’s landing to reveal how humanitarian grammar and the use of the female body as an icon of vulnerability support the border regimes and serve to establish taxonomic orders between the perfect victims deserving protection and refugees not worthy of salvation.
