Abstract

ABSTRACT Foundational literature on ‘insurgent citizenship’ highlights how spaces of both exclusion and encounter among marginalized groups lead them to reimagine traditional practices of citizenship through mobilization, occupation, and claims related to place and legal rights. Recent scholarship, especially work written by undocumented activists themselves, illustrates the power of this approach in contemporary movements for justice in North America, especially in the construction of spaces of abolitionist sanctuary, and the valuable role of critical participatory methods in illuminating such forms of social action. Building on this praxis-based body of scholarship, our case study centers on a mobilization by detained activists against abuses and violations of rights during the Covid-19 pandemic at Butler County Jail in Hamilton, Ohio, and the role of strategic alliances between external allies and people within the jail. Through a mixed-methods approach (interviews, discourse analysis, and participant observation) and drawing on critical methodologies of accompaniment and witnessing, we examine how this mobilization constituted a form of ‘insurgent citizenship’.

美国拘留制度下的叛乱公民:俄亥俄州移民监狱内动员和权利主张的案例研究

关于“反叛公民”的基础文献强调了边缘化群体之间的排斥和相遇空间如何引导他们通过动员、占领和与位置和法律权利相关的要求来重新想象传统的公民实践。最近的学术研究，特别是无证活动家自己写的作品，说明了这种方法在北美当代正义运动中的力量，特别是在废奴主义者庇护所空间的建设中，以及批判性参与方法在阐明这种社会行动形式方面的宝贵作用。在这一以实践为基础的学术研究基础上，我们的案例研究集中在被拘留的活动人士在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间在俄亥俄州汉密尔顿巴特勒县监狱动员反对虐待和侵犯权利的行为，以及外部盟友与监狱内人员之间的战略联盟的作用。通过混合方法(访谈、话语分析和参与者观察)和借鉴陪伴和见证的关键方法，我们研究了这种动员是如何构成一种“叛乱公民”形式的。

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.
