我考察了人道主义和同情心在一种新兴的伦理配置中的作用，这种配置使疾病成为无证移民在法国获得合法居留权（“文件”）的主要手段。我认为，在这种伦理话语中，生物完整性的神圣地位导致移民用生物完整性换取政治认可。我首先展示了人道主义是如何转变为一种政治形式的，作为一种与资本和劳动力联系在一起的跨国治理体系发挥作用的，尽管它自称与政治无关。我在文章的后半部分集中讨论人道主义作为政治的后果，其中包括新的生物政治实践，意外的疾病和残疾公民，以及人类意义的有限版本。
I examine the role of humanitarianism and compassion in an emergent ethical configuration that makes illness a primary means by which undocumented immigrants obtain legal residency (“papers”) in France. I argue that the sacred place of biological integrity in this ethical discourse leads immigrants to trade in biological integrity for political recognition. I demonstrate first how humanitarianism has been transformed into a form of politics, functioning as a transnational system of governance tied to capital and labor even while purporting to be apolitical. I focus in the second half of the article on the consequences of humanitarianism as politics, which include new biopolitical practices, unexpected diseased and disabled citizens, and a limited version of what it means to be human.
