 <hr /><p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>One consequence of European unifi
 cation has been the transformation of the Mediterranean Sea into a barrier 
 to stop the flow of unwanted migrants. In this zone\, the communicative net
 works of “Fortress Europe” have established\, through interception and moni
 toring technologies (and their corresponding speech acts)\, a techno-politi
 cal moat surrounding European Union territorial waters. This paper document
 s how maritime encounters between state authorities\, migrants\, and fisher
 men are shaped by the multiple languages and channels of communication that
  traverse the Mediterranean Sea—a communicative environment I call “transid
 iomatic.” With the concept of <em>transidioma\,</em> I explore how this com
 municative landscape is undergoing rapid change due to late-modern cultural
  globalization\, which creates ways of speaking more similar to the communi
 cative interactions that emerged in this area after the Middle Ages than to
  those of modern nation-states. More importantly\, I want to discuss how th
 ese hybrid interactions are situated in a political and military context wh
 ere the European Union and its member states impose a shibboleth-like test 
 on refugees and migrants—a test that often contributes to serious and irrev
 ersible human rights violations.</p><p><strong>About Dr. Marco Jacquemet</s
