Abstract

ABSTRACT The article takes the lively discussion of citizenship in the 1990s as its point of departure, focusing in particular on the works by Étienne Balibar and Engin Isin. The author shows how the (illegal) migrant emerged as a paradigmatic figure in that discussion in the wake of the struggles of the sans-papiers in France and elsewhere in Europe. What characterizes the discussion of citizenship and migration since the end of the 1990s is an attempt to theoretically grasp the multifarious tensions between processes of deprivation and dispossession on the one hand and migrants’ agency and even the autonomy of migration on the other hand. It is working within this field of tensions that many scholars focused their analysis on the blurring of the boundary between inclusion and exclusion, pointing to migrants’ capacity to open new spaces of citizenship. Borders – external as well as internal – came therefore to play an increasingly important role in the debates surrounding citizenship and migration. In the last section, the article discusses the ongoing conjuncture of crises, underscoring both the persistent predicament of migration to and in Europe and the crucial role of migrants in the building of coalitions for social justice.

公民身份内外的移民流动

本文以20世纪90年代关于公民身份的热烈讨论为出发点，特别关注Étienne Balibar和Engin Isin的作品。作者展示了(非法)移民如何在法国和欧洲其他地方的无证件者斗争之后成为讨论中的典范人物。自20世纪90年代末以来，关于公民身份和移民的讨论的特点是试图从理论上把握剥夺和剥夺过程与移民代理甚至移民自治之间的各种紧张关系。正是在这个紧张的领域里，许多学者把他们的分析重点放在了包容与排斥之间界限的模糊上，指出了移民开辟新的公民空间的能力。因此，边界- -内外边界- -在围绕公民身份和移民的辩论中起着越来越重要的作用。在最后一部分，文章讨论了持续的危机结合点，强调了移民到欧洲和在欧洲的持续困境，以及移民在建立社会正义联盟中的关键作用。

期刊介绍： Citizenship Studies publishes internationally recognised scholarly work on contemporary issues in citizenship, human rights and democratic processes from an interdisciplinary perspective covering the fields of politics, sociology, history and cultural studies. It seeks to lead an international debate on the academic analysis of citizenship, and also aims to cross the division between internal and academic and external public debate. The journal focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of citizenship, and treats citizenship as a strategic concept that is central in the analysis of identity, participation, empowerment, human rights and the public interest.
