本文概述了民族国家日常地理的概念方法。所分析的案例研究是加拿大对人口走私的跨机构反应。这篇文章借鉴了对政府和非政府行为者的定性研究，他们对1999年从中国福建偷渡到不列颠哥伦比亚省的四艘载有移民的船只做出了回应。关于移民领域工作的日常制度背景的研究结果，促使人们以更抽象的国家认识论解构围绕治理的概念边界。这种对民族国家地理的后结构方法特别关注身份和语言在移民/移民分类中的作用，并从监管国际边界的角度引发对民族国家跨国想象的思考。
This essay outlines a conceptual approach to everyday geographies of the nation-state. The case study analyzed is the cross-institutional response to human smuggling in Canada. The essay draws on qualitative research with government and nongovernment actors who responded to the arrival of four boats carrying migrants smuggled from Fujian, China to British Columbia in 1999. Findings regarding the everyday institutional contexts of work in the field of immigration prompt deconstruction of the conceptual boundaries that surround governance in more abstract epistemologies of the state. This poststructural approach to geographies of the nation-state pays particular attention to the role of identity and language in the categorization of im/migrants and provokes contemplation of the transnational imaginary of the nation-state from the standpoint of policing international borders.
