主权和公民概念之间的关系正在通过通常所说的“北美堡垒”重新阐明。 “反恐战争”放大了先前出现的治理、控制和监视方面的转变。一个重要的后果是美利坚合众国和加拿大之间边境协调计划的不断发展。这一发展催生了加拿大和美国新兴的公民技术。本文特别关注在撤销公民身份、通过“Nexus”等计划创建新的公民身份类别、拟议在加拿大引入生物识别身份证以及引入“新常态”话语方面正在发生的变化。通过“智能边境宣言”中建立的新边境协调计划，加拿大和美国的公民和非公民将被组织、控制并接受新形式的国家监视。 “新常态”的话语意味着我们对日常生活期望的转变。无论我们是因为疾病、恐惧、风险、信心丧失还是安全感而经历“新常态”，我们都被召唤成为这种话语的主题。 “新常态”指的是对细胞、微生物、身体和社会加强控制的需要、对加强安全和监视的期望。本文将探讨“新常态”话语中蕴含的逻辑。
The relation between the concepts of sovereignty and citizenship are being rearticulated through what is popularly referred to as ‘Fortress North America’. The ‘War on Terror’ has amplified previously emerging shifts in governance, control and surveillance. One significant consequence is the development of increasing border harmonization schemes between the United States of America and Canada. This development has led to newly emerging technologies of citizenship in both Canada and the USA. This paper pays particular attention to the shifts that are taking place with regards to the revocation of citizenship, the creation of new categories of citizenship through programs such as ‘Nexus’ and the proposed introduction of bio‐metric ID cards in Canada and the introduction of the discourse of the ‘new normal’. Through new border harmonization programs established in the ‘Smart Border Declaration’ citizens and non‐citizens in both Canada and America will be organized, controlled and subjected to new forms of state surveillance. The discourse of the ‘new normal’ is meant to signal a shift in our expectations of daily life. Whether we are experiencing the ‘new normal’ due to disease, fear, risk, loss of faith or security, we are being called into place as subjects of this discourse. The ‘new normal’ is used in reference to the need for greater control, the expectation of greater security and surveillance of cells, microbes, bodies and society. This paper will explore the logic that is embedded within the discourse of the ‘new normal’.
