摘要 在巴西，公民权利和公民参与的制度化在民主政权下取得了显着进步。然而，许多城市贫民仍然疏远国家及其法律体系。本文认为，要理解这些“半公民”的公民身份，有必要考虑非官方的实践领域。我展示了累西腓贫民窟的居民如何解释和处理国家公民身份登记项目，该项目的实质表现是强制携带身份证。携带这些卡片充满了对警察暴力控制的恐惧。然而，通过非正式程序获得身份证与渴望与警察和其他国家代表建立个性化关系有关。因此，这些居民与其身份证的关系既令人恐惧又充满感情，这使我们能够将他们的公民身份理解为恐惧与亲密的融合。
Abstract In Brazil, citizenship rights and the institutionalisation of citizen participation have advanced significantly under the democratic regime. However, many of the urban poor are still alienated from the state and its legal system. This article argues that, to understand the citizenship of these ‘half-citizens’, it is necessary to take account of an unofficial realm of practices. I show how residents of a slum in Recife interpret and deal with the state project of registered citizenship, which finds its material expression in the compulsory carrying of identity cards. Carrying these cards is surrounded by fear of violent police control. However, obtaining identity cards through informal procedures is associated with a longing for personalised relationships with the police and other state representatives. The relationship of these residents with their identity cards is thus both fearful and affectionate, which allows us to understand their citizenship as a confluence of fear and intimacy.
