Legitimacy, distantiation and the ecology of knowledge production in the Norwegian asylum procedure
| Résumé |
The strict separation between the production of country of origin
information (COI) and the assessment of asylum applications is a
fundamental norm in the professional practice of COI producers. By
looking at the Norwegian COI unit, this article examines the way
this separation is materialized through an infrastructure of
distantiation built around COI production sites. This apparatus is
discernible not only in discourses and practices, but also in the
organizational structures, spaces, and legal norms that contribute
to the ecology of this specific site of expert knowledge
production. It participates in the construction of the legitimacy
of both institutions and individual actors involved in knowledge
production. |
