Abstract

This article examines the embodied and institutional forms of marginalization experienced by Mexican deportees in Tijuana. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in clinics and social service organizations, it explores how deportees are corporeally stigmatized, denied legal recognition, and pathologized as addicts in need of coercive rehabilitation. Deportees are subjected to carceral and medicalized interventions that blur the boundaries between care and punishment. The article calls for greater attention to how deportation regimes operate transnationally to manage and discipline displaced populations through a convergence of biopolitical and necropolitical practices.

“他们像看寄生虫一样看我们”：墨西哥蒂华纳被驱逐者的身体污名化和病态化。

本文考察了墨西哥被驱逐者在蒂华纳所经历的边缘化的具体形式和制度形式。通过在诊所和社会服务组织进行的人种学田野调查，它探讨了被驱逐者是如何被肉体污名化的，被剥夺了法律承认，并被病态化为需要强制康复的成瘾者。被驱逐者受到监禁和医疗干预，模糊了照顾和惩罚之间的界限。这篇文章呼吁更多地关注驱逐制度是如何在跨国范围内运作的，通过生物政治和死亡政治实践的融合来管理和约束流离失所的人口。

It encompasses studies of ethnomedicine, epidemiology, maternal and child health, population, nutrition, human development in relation to health and disease, health-care providers and services, public health, health policy, and the language and speech of health and health care.
