本文探讨了英国分离儿童移民的矛盾定位，重点关注他们相互提供的照顾。根据与参与移民福利关系的州和非州成人利益相关者的访谈数据，我们考虑了如何看待和代表儿童的护理实践。我们认为，在这些行动者动员的话语中，分离儿童的关怀实践假设是缺席的：要么难以表达，要么以负面和充满道德的术语来代表，反映了英国对移民和先进的童年资本主义结构的“敌对环境”。这样的检查揭示了复杂的国家试图管理护理和移民制度，以及护理可以作为一种制定和标记包容和排除的方式。在这里，我们强调在新自由主义国家缩减公共护理和仇外民族主义抬头的时代，失散儿童移民的政治后果。
This paper explores the ambivalent positioning of separated child migrants in the UK with a focus on the care that they provide for each other. Drawing on interview data with state and non-state adult stakeholders involved in the immigration-welfare nexus, we consider how children’s care practices are viewed and represented. We argue that separated children’s caring practices assume an absent presence in the discourses mobilised by these actors: either difficult to articulate or represented in negative and morally-laden terms, reflective of the UK’s ‘hostile environment’ towards migrants and advanced capitalist constructions of childhood. Such an examination sheds light on the complex state attempts to manage the care and migration regimes, and the way that care can serve as a way of making and marking inclusions and exclusions. Here we emphasise the political consequences for separated child migrants in an age of neoliberal state retrenchment from public provision of care and rising xenophobic nationalism.
