Abstract

This article discusses how Mexican deportees find meaning and negotiate their agency in the borderscape and borderland of Tijuana, Mexico. Established through vice tourism, Tijuana has figured prominently as a site for expressions of migrancy. Within the expressions of migrancy, deported migrants find themselves in constant states of in-betweenness in systems of mediation. Through in-depth interviews with deported Mexican men living in temporary male-centric shelters, I identify and examine the issues of mobility ‘through the body’ of deported migrants, highlighting the politics of emotions, of being, and of seeing. Through analysis of the phenomenology of migration through Tijuana, I highlight the overreaching situated positions of permanent temporality mediating the lives of deported Mexican men. This perspective, therefore, sheds a necessary light on an often overlooked and marginalized condition of the migrant population.

移民的领土和意义:蒂华纳被驱逐的墨西哥人生活中边境景观的情感政治

本文讨论了墨西哥被驱逐者如何在墨西哥蒂华纳的边境地区找到意义并与他们的代理机构进行谈判。蒂华纳是通过色情旅游建立起来的，已经成为移民表达的重要场所。在移民的表达中，被驱逐的移民发现自己在调解系统中处于不断的中间状态。通过对居住在临时男性中心庇护所的被驱逐的墨西哥男性的深入采访，我确定并研究了被驱逐移民“通过身体”的流动性问题，突出了情感、存在和观察的政治。通过对蒂华纳移民现象学的分析，我强调了被驱逐的墨西哥人的生活中永久性暂时性的过度定位。因此，这一观点对移徙人口经常被忽视和边缘化的状况提供了必要的了解。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
