The research team investigate the manner in which individuals interact with official documents to construct official versions of their identity and status in response to regulatory requirements. The research examines two groups: 1) immigrants preparing naturalization documents, and 2) indigenous individuals preparing federal tribal recognition documents. The research offers insights into the practices that constitute state power and define its boundaries; citizenship; the role of regulation in identity-formation; and the cultural production of knowledge. The research plan involves participant observation, archival research and interviews at three selected sites of official documents in California. The research will highlight the ways that, in response to legal requirements, individuals use official documents to construct versions of their own identity that will help them secure their place in society -- a process that is especially important for those with marginalized status.

研究小组调查个人与官方文件互动的方式，以构建其身份和地位的官方版本，以满足监管要求。这项研究调查了两个群体：1）准备入籍文件的移民，2）准备联邦部落承认文件的土著人。该研究提供了对构成国家权力并定义其边界的实践的见解;公民身份;监管在身份形成中的作用;以及知识的文化生产。研究计划包括在加州三个选定的官方文件地点进行参与观察、档案研究和访谈。这项研究将着重说明个人如何根据法律的要求，利用官方证件建立自己的身份，帮助他们在社会中获得自己的地位-这一过程对处于边缘地位的人特别重要。
