本文的重点是国家如何设置歧视性结构,移民如何找到管理这些结构的方法,以及他们如何在这个过程中构建灵活和创新的身份。本文探讨了两个主要问题。首先是国家控制和排斥与移民抵抗之间的关系。这篇论文表明,尽管欧洲国家加强了监控,建立了数字网络,将移民挡在他们的领土之外,但英国政府对非正规移民的态度是矛盾的。与此同时,正是在模棱两可的间隙中,移民通过购买、租赁和借用文件,找到了通过他们的网络和社区抵制或绕过排他性和矛盾规定的方法。其次,本文关注的是创新和灵活身份的构建。研究揭示了移民如何在自我与结构交叉的困境中占据反叛空间并构建身份。
Abstract The focus of this paper is on how the state sets up discriminatory structures, how immigrants work out ways of managing those structures and how in this process they construct flexible and innovative identities. Two main issues are explored. The first is the relationship between state control and exclusion and immigrant resistance. The paper shows how, despite increased surveillance and digital nets mounted by European states to keep immigrants out of their territory, the British state is ambivalent towards irregular immigrants. At the same time, it is in the interstices of ambiguity that immigrants, by buying, renting and borrowing documents, have found ways through their networks and communities to resist or get around exclusionary and contradictory regulations. Second, the paper is concerned with the construction of innovative and flexible identities. The research reveals how immigrants occupy rebellious spaces and construct identities in difficult situations at the intersection of self and structure.
