项目摘要

Despite a large irregular migrant population across UK urban areas, little is understood about the strategies they use to get by when they are living destitute in the city, and the urban remains under-theorised as a site where irregular migrants produce space. In this thesis, I seek to better understand how the everyday experiences and practices of destitute irregular migrants shape their relationship with the city itself - its people, public spaces and institutions. Bristol provides an interesting location for a study of the strategies and practices that are employed during times of destitution: it is a City of Sanctuary, inside which activists, diasporas and the third sector come together as a political community to try to mitigate some of the more perilous conditions of destitution. Yet the city exists within a nation-state that is pursuing a hostile environment towards refused asylum seekers and other irregular migrants; and many vital services are under-funded or inaccessible. I use in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation to probe some of these tensions, as well as to learn more about what the everyday looks like for those living destitute and illegalised. Building on this rich empirical data, I ask whether in Bristol it is possible for (some) destitute irregular migrants to claim an alternative kind of citizenship or right to the city (Lefebvre, 1996; 2003) that lies in use-value (use of space, services, information, networks and culture), self-management, and expressions of the right to be different.

尽管英国城市地区存在大量非正规移民人口，但人们对他们在城市中过着赤贫生活时所采用的策略知之甚少，而且城市作为非正规移民创造空间的场所的理论仍然不足。在这篇论文中，我试图更好地理解贫困的非正规移民的日常经历和做法如何塑造他们与城市本身（城市人民、公共空间和机构）的关系。布里斯托尔为研究贫困时期所采用的策略和实践提供了一个有趣的场所：它是一座庇护之城，在这座城市中，活动家、侨民和第三部门作为一个政治团体聚集在一起，试图减轻一些更危险的贫困状况。然而，这座城市存在于一个民族国家之中，这个民族国家正在为被拒绝的寻求庇护者和其他非正规移民寻求一个充满敌意的环境；许多重要服务资金不足或无法获得。我利用深入访谈和民族志观察来探讨其中一些紧张局势，并更多地了解那些生活贫困和非法化的人的日常生活。基于这些丰富的经验数据，我询问在布里斯托尔，（一些）贫困的非正规移民是否有可能要求另一种公民身份或城市权利（Lefebvre，1996；2003），这种权利在于使用价值（空间、服务、信息、网络和文化的使用）、自我管理和表达不同的权利。
