This anthropological research project studies public welfare in Pakistan as contact zone (Linke 2006) between state and subject. The project focuses on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) which was implemented in 2008 and which is the first program of public welfare in Pakistan that includes religious minorities. Anthropological fieldwork will concentrate on public welfare as daily practice and experience and on the appropriation of the state by members of the Christian minority. Because the BISP mostly aims at women and their empowerment gender will be particularly taken into account. How does the new proximity between the state and Christians affect their mutual relationship? How are concepts of state and citizenship transformed through this form of welfare?The project departs from the constellation of tension which affects the largely poor Christian minority in Pakistan: structural discrimination and violence on one hand, public care and political inclusion on the other. Further, there is the ambivalent interpellation of the subjects of welfare in the context of the BISP: In the framework of the global war against terror the Pakistani poor are declared a global threat and public welfare merges with global agendas of security, prevention of terrorism, empowerment of women and the struggle against corruption.The conceptualization of the state as practice and experience brings processes of governance and the agency of the beneficiaries / subjects of public welfare into focus. Fieldwork will look at everyday experiences and cultural practices of appropriation of citizenship and the state in their diverse forms: as representations, as interpellations of the subjects and as smart technologies which are employed in by the program. As a contact zone, public welfare emerges as a space of political power and its subversion, as site of subjectification and as a field in which political concepts, emotions and relationships are negotiated. The concept of contact zone sensitizes particularly for the sensual dimension of the state and the field of politics.The research project addresses current questions about the transformation of state and citizenship in the context of public welfare in Pakistan as well as in the context of global social and security policies and pursues the problem of the emergence of political emotions. Further, the situation of the Christian minority in Pakistan and its relation with the state will be studied for the first time and the under researched fields of welfare in the contexts of global policies of security and Islam as well as welfare and gender in South Asia will be explored.

这个人类学研究项目研究巴基斯坦的公共福利，作为国家和主体之间的接触区（Linke 2006年）。该项目的重点是2008年实施的贝娜齐尔收入支助方案，这是巴基斯坦第一个包括宗教少数群体的公共福利方案。人类学的田野工作将集中在公共福利作为日常实践和经验，并对国家的基督教少数民族成员的拨款。由于基本收入支助方案主要针对妇女及其赋权，因此将特别考虑性别问题。国家和基督徒之间新的接近如何影响他们的相互关系？通过这种形式的福利，国家和公民的概念是如何转变的？该项目脱离了影响巴基斯坦主要贫穷的基督教少数群体的紧张局势：一方面是结构性歧视和暴力，另一方面是公共关怀和政治包容。此外，在《基本收入和支出计划》的范围内，对福利主体提出了矛盾的质疑：在全球反恐战争的框架内，巴基斯坦穷人被宣布为全球威胁，公共福利与安全、防止恐怖主义、将国家概念化为实践和经验，带来了治理过程和权力机构，公共福利的受益者/主体成为焦点。实地考察将着眼于日常经验和公民身份和国家的各种形式的挪用文化习俗：作为代表，作为主体的质询以及作为该计划所采用的智能技术。作为一个接触区，公共福利作为一个政治权力及其颠覆的空间，作为一个主体化的场所，作为一个政治概念、情感和关系谈判的场域而出现。接触区的概念特别敏感的感性层面的国家和政治领域的研究项目解决当前的问题，国家和公民的公共福利的背景下，在巴基斯坦以及在全球社会和安全政策的背景下，并追求的问题，出现的政治情绪。此外，还将首次研究巴基斯坦基督教少数群体的状况及其与国家的关系，并将探讨全球安全和伊斯兰政策背景下的福利领域以及南亚的福利和性别问题。
