Abstract

The article reconstructs the waiting of EU officials for a Libyan government to partner with, amidst the broader 2015 European Refugee Crisis. Methodologically, it takes recourse to two iconic stories of waiting - Homer's Odyssey and Beckett's Waiting for Godot - to push on the multiple im/materialies of waiting and of sovereignty. This illuminates the situation as one of Libya maintaining its sovereignty without a sovereign.
