Radical hope beyond hospitality and tolerance: embracing pro-migrant futures out of the UK's hostile environment

本研究通过绘制本地监狱地理与更广泛的全球监狱工业综合体之间的概念联系，考察了英国私有化移民拘留的增长。我向学术界和活动人士发出紧急呼吁，反对暴力的全球边境制度。我提请大家注意，迫切需要通过倡导承认和采用激进的希望来形成支持移民的未来，从而超越好客和宽容的政治。这项研究探讨了以有条件的款待和宽容为中心的政治是如何无意中为边缘化社区营造了一个不宽容、充满敌意的环境的。通过对在英国因涉嫌移民犯罪而被拘留的人进行深入、半结构化访谈的方法，本研究探讨了他们对这种敌意的经历。我将这些经历与在英国移民拘留中心工作的人的经历进行了独特的对比，试图通过理解在牟利的拘留环境中表达敌意的条件，来理解好客与敌意、宽容与不宽容之间的拐点。我提出这样一个问题：这些敌对行为是由同质的社会反移民情绪驱动的（正如福柯（2020:85）所暗示的那样），还是由私有化移民拘留中足够的资源和资金的结构性不可获得性驱动的？最后，通过与支持移民、反对拘留的社区活动人士进行焦点小组讨论，我探索了激进希望（Kallio等人，（2021））在产生富有同情心和拥抱超越热情和宽容的移民未来方面的有用性。

This research examines the growth of privatised immigration detention inthe UK by drawing conceptual links between this local carceral geographyand the wider global prison industrial complex. I contribute to an urgentacademic and activist call to counter violent global border regimes. I bringattention to the pressing need for a move beyond a politics of hospitalityand tolerance through advocating for the recognition and adoption ofradical hope in forming pro-migrant futures. This research explores how apolitics centred around conditional hospitality and tolerance inadvertentlyfosters an intolerant, hostile environment for marginalised communities.Through a methodology of in-depth, semi-structured interviews with peoplewho have been detained under alleged immigration offences in the UK, thisresearch explores their experiences of this hostility. I uniquely contrastthese experiences with accounts of people who have worked withinimmigration detention in the UK, seeking to understand the inflection pointbetween hospitality and hostility, tolerance and intolerance, through anunderstanding of the conditions under which hostility is expressed in a forprofitcarceral context. I ask the question: are these acts of hostility drivenby a homogenous societal anti-migrant sentiment (as a reading of Foucault(2020: 85) would suggest), or are they instead driven by the structuralunavailability of adequate resources and funding within privatisedimmigration detention? Finally, conducting focus groups with pro-migrant,anti-detention community activists, I explore the usefulness of radical hope(Kallio et al., (2021) in generating compassionate and embracing promigrantfutures beyond hospitality and tolerance.
