制约全球流动的更严格的边境控制的扩散提供了重要的结晶点,通过这些结晶点,有区别的、有层次的流动权利得以产生、谈判和重新构想。其中一种形式是拘留移徙者,这种形式往往被例外逻辑理解为将不受欢迎的移徙者排除在政治共同体的边界之外。以自主移徙观点为基础的关于拘留的批判性学术研究表明,对拘留有一个更微妙的阅读,即通过不稳定的地位、法律的地位和主观性的转变以及对移徙流动的方向和时间性的控制,对移徙者进行有差别的包容。在这一轨迹的基础上,本文认为,难民营的意义也需要纳入移民和控制政治的分析。因为拘留场所是移民(以及与他们团结一致的人)可以利用的避难场所,作为应对边境管制、重新构想政治社区和主体性的资源,移民通过这些场所进行公民身份的实践。反思加莱及其周边地区的移民营地的破坏,本文探讨了三种不同的图像的营地空间被称为“丛林”,并提请注意营地空间的社会和政治空间,其中的斗争,以定义他们是一个组成部分,是在控制的政治和移民的政治之间的斗争中的利害关系。
The proliferation of more restrictive border controls governing global mobility provides important sites of crystallization through which differentiated and stratified rights to movement are produced, negotiated, and reimagined. One such form, the detention of migrants, is often understood through a logic of exception as the exclusion of unwanted migrants from the borders of the political community. Critical scholarship on detention informed by an autonomous migration perspective suggests a more nuanced reading of detention as the differential inclusion of migrants through positions of precariousness, transformations of legal statuses and subjectivities, and control over the direction and temporality of migratory flows. Building on this trajectory, this paper argues that the very meaning of the camp also needs to be brought into the analysis of a politics of migration and of control. For spaces of detention are sites of contestation that can be used by migrants (and those in solidarity with them) as resources to navigate border controls, reimagine political community and subjectivities and through which migrants engage in practices of citizenship. Reflecting on the destruction of the migrant camps in and around Calais, the paper examines three different images of the camp space known as ‘the jungle’ and draws attention to camp spaces as social and political spaces, in which the struggles to define them are an integral part of what is at stake in the struggle between a politics of control and a politics of migration.
