Abstract

ABSTRACT This Special Issue analyses how forced migrants’ and non-citizens’ kinning and de-kinning practices and their struggles of ‘doing family’ constitute navigations of citizenship. Forced migrants and non-citizens need to manoeuvre an intersecting net of different bureaucratic, political and legal, but also kin-related social and cultural regimes. In their encounters with state authorities, bureaucrats, and humanitarian workers, and through the material cultures these engender, forced migrants and non-citizens are marked and categorised – often with wide-ranging consequences for themselves and their significant others. This Special Issue traces how legal and bureaucratic inscriptions derive from, but also shape forced migrants’ and non-citizens’ familial status and intimate ties to fictive, legal or consanguineal kin. Centring on migration and displacement to and in Europe and the Middle East, we combine analytical debates from anthropology, gender, migration and citizenship studies. Collectively, this Special Issue suggests that the nation-state and its migration regime are experienced in relational ways, and impact on migrants’ ability to care for and be in relation with significant others.

通过法律、官僚和亲属的移民:在关系中导航公民身份

摘要本期特刊分析了被迫移民和非公民的亲属关系和解除亲属关系的做法以及他们为“养家糊口”而进行的斗争如何构成公民身份的导航。被强迫的移民和非公民需要利用不同的官僚、政治和法律制度，以及与亲属有关的社会和文化制度的交叉网络。在与国家当局、官僚和人道主义工作者的接触中，以及通过这些产生的物质文化，强迫移民和非公民被标记和分类——通常会对他们自己和他们的重要他人产生广泛的后果。本期特刊追溯了法律和官僚铭文是如何来源于，但也塑造了被迫移民和非公民的家庭地位以及与虚构、合法或血亲的亲密关系。我们以欧洲和中东的移民和流离失所为中心，结合了人类学、性别、移民和公民身份研究的分析辩论。总的来说，这期特刊表明，民族国家及其移民制度是以关系的方式经历的，并影响移民照顾重要他人和与重要他人建立关系的能力。

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.
