作为公民身份“证券化”这一更大趋势的一部分,加拿大剥夺公民身份正日益成为常态,导致某些情况下出现无国籍状态。在这篇文章中,我通过研究无国籍的本地化生产和与更广泛的社会和物质关系网络的联系,来追求无国籍的社会学。我通过对加拿大出生的Deepan Budlakoti的案例研究来做到这一点,他在22岁时被告知他实际上不是加拿大人,也没有任何其他国籍,因此被视为无国籍者。行动者网络理论被用来追踪法律文件和人类和事物的异质网络(例如,“法律技术性”)是如何被纳入产生一项法律决定的,该决定宣布Budlakoti尽管拥有加拿大出生证明和护照,但从未成为加拿大公民。然而,由于他没有用尽所有途径获得某些公民身份(例如,在印度或加拿大),他也未能确保他的无国籍身份得到承认。这一分析的一个特别创新之处是探讨《加拿大国籍法》对外国外交人员所生子女的出生地公民权的豁免。移民法庭和法院的判决网络,以及作为证据的文件,都将Budlakoti与这一豁免联系起来,并转化为确定他符合这一豁免,尽管有相反的证据,以及他一生的记录和国家协助的加拿大身份复制。虽然他的法律和社会身份被剥夺,并遭受无国籍的严重后果,但Budlakoti继续争取恢复他在出生国享有权利的权利。
As part of the larger trend towards “securitization” of citizenship, citizenship deprivation in Canada is becoming increasingly normalized, resulting in some cases in statelessness. In this article, I pursue a sociology of statelessness by examining its localized production and connections to a broader network of social and material relations. I do this through a case study of Canadian-born Deepan Budlakoti, who at age 22 was informed that he was in fact not Canadian, and lacking any other citizenship, was rendered stateless. Actor-Network Theory is employed to trace how it is that legal documental and heterogeneous networks of humans and things (e.g., a “legal technicality”) have been enrolled to produce a legal decision declaring that Budlakoti, despite his Canadian birth certificate and passports, was never a Canadian citizen. Yet because he has not exhausted all avenues to acquisition of some citizenship (e.g., in India or Canada), he also has failed to secure recognition of his statelessness. A particular innovation in this analysis is the exploration of the exemption in the Canadian Citizenship Act from jus soli citizenship for children born to foreign diplomatic staff. Networks of immigration tribunal and court judgements, and documents treated as evidence have connected and translated into establishing Budlakoti’s fit with this exemption, despite countervailing evidence and a lifetime of documented and state-assisted reproduction of his Canadianness. While robbed of his legal and social identity, and suffering the egregious consequences of statelessness, Budlakoti continues to campaign for restoration of his right to have rights within his country of birth.
