> >摘要_本文介绍了对瑞士日内瓦日内瓦州禁止乞讨的各种行为者的代表性进行研究的第一部分的结果。对议会关于通过这项立法的辩论进行了仔细审查，以了解这一公共空间管理战略如何在政治上合法化。在日内瓦高级理事会成员的论述中可以发现三种不同的类型：民粹主义者、人道主义者和法律主义者。虽然这些论述似乎是对立的，但有趣的是，这三种立场之间存在着共同点，它们揭示了当今公共空间共享的含义。我们的分析表明，禁止乞讨源于对外国乞丐形象的精心描绘-可见的、越来越多的、成群结队的-这似乎得到了来自不同党派的理事会成员的认同。这种基于对这些边缘化人口的规范分类的代表性，导致他们受到不同的待遇。
> > Abstract_ This paper presents results from the first part of a study on representations of various actors concerned by the prohibition of begging in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. Parliamentary debates on the passing of this legislation were scrutinized in order to understand how this public space management strategy has been legitimized in political terms. Three different types have been identified among the discourses of Geneva High Council Members: the populist, the humanist and the legalistic. Although these discourses may seem to be opposed, it is interesting to note that commonalities exist between the three positions and that they reveal general representations of what public space-sharing means today. Our analysis shows that the prohibition of begging stems from representations of an elaborate image of foreign beggars – visible, ever more numerous and acting in groups – that seems to be shared by Council members from different parties. Such representations, based on a normative categorization of these marginalized populations, contribute to their being treated differently.
