Solidarities: - Migrants and solidarities: Negotiating deservingness in welfare micropublics

移民与团结：福利微公众的应得性谈判（MigSol）开辟了新的领域，探讨了在移民应得性谈判中如何想象和实践团结。它探讨了在移民、福利重组和紧缩推动的多样性日益增加的背景下，谁应该得到福利服务，谁不应该得到福利服务的基本问题，如何讨论是否应该得到福利服务，以及有什么影响。这样的谈判有助于在那些能够获得福利国家的支持和服务，或被认为能够获得这些支持和服务的移民和那些被排除在外的移民之间划定界限，例如，因为他们被认为“不属于”或被视为对自己的需要负责。MigSol从对团结的理解出发，以不同的方式想象和实践，探索了新出现的欢乐、摩擦和争论形式。通过探索在城市地区和具有不同程度多样性和移民定居的农村/小城镇，不同的福利和移民制度如何影响团结，将使差异变得可见和可比性。我们在丹麦、瑞典和英国的多站点人种学研究将重点关注六个福利微公众，即协商获得支持和服务的地方空间。我们关注如何根据移民的代际地位（如儿童、工作年龄的成年人或老年人）构成应得性；根据移民所居住社区的空间大小，如私人、公共或社会住房；在大城市或农村地区；与多数人口一起或分开。我们的目标是深入细致地了解在移民、一线政府工作人员和为移民提供支持的倡导者之间的接触中，如何谈判应得性，以及如何实践不同形式的团结。MigSol的特点是致力于促进对话、反思和相互学习。该项目汇集了一个由人类学家和社会学家组成的国际团队，由专家学术顾问委员会和主要利益相关者代表组成。研究结果将通过科学出版物、利益相关者报告、纪录片、展览和多媒体网站进行传播，为有关应得性、福利和移民的公共辩论提供新的见解。

Migrants and solidarities: Negotiating deservingness in welfare micropublics (MigSol) breaks new ground by exploring how solidarities are imagined and practiced in negotiations of migrant deservingness. It explores the fundamental question of who is, and who is not, considered deserving of welfare services, how deservingness is negotiated and with what implications, in a context of increasing diversity driven by migration, welfare restructuring, and austerity. Such negotiations serve to draw boundaries between those migrants who have access to the support and services of the welfare state, or are believed to have access, and those who are excluded, e.g. because they are deemed as ‘not belonging’ or are seen as responsible for their own neediness.Setting out from the understanding that solidarities are imagined and practiced in diverse ways, MigSol explores emerging forms of conviviality, friction and contestation. Variation will be made visible and comparable by exploring how solidarities are informed by different constellations of welfare and migration regimes, in both urban areas and rural / small towns with varying degrees of diversity and migrant settlement. Our multi-sited ethnography in Denmark, Sweden, and the UK will focus on six welfare micropublics, local spaces where entitlements to support and services are negotiated.We focus on how deservingness is constituted according to migrants’ generational status e.g., as children, working-age adults, or elders; and according to spatial dimensions of the neighbourhood where migrants settle e.g., in private, public or social housing; in major cities or in rural areas; together with, or apart from, majority populations. We aim for a deep and nuanced understanding of how deservingness is negotiated, and how different forms of solidarities are practiced, in encounters between migrants, frontline government workers, and advocates who offer and provide support for migrants.MigSol is characterised by a commitment to promoting dialogue, reflection, and mutual learning. The project brings together an international team of anthropologists and sociologists with an expert Academic Advisory Board and key stakeholder representatives. Results will be disseminated through scientific publications, stakeholder reports, a documentary film, exhibit, and a multi-media website, contributing fresh insights to public debates on deservingness, welfare, and migration.
