Abstract

The Citizen and the Alien and The Birthright Lottery are extraordinary books that analyze citizenship and alienage as heuristic categories through which to understand rights, subject formation, and political membership. This essay focuses upon the tension in both books between the normative and the practical. This tension could perhaps be resolved through a recognition that even the most formalized rights-bearing subject is incomplete: this incompleteness enables the active making of membership.

《公民与异乡人》和《出生权彩票》是两本非凡的书，它们把公民身份和异乡人作为启发式的类别来分析，通过这些类别来理解权利、主体形成和政治成员身份。这篇文章聚焦于两本书中规范与实践之间的张力。这种紧张关系也许可以通过认识到即使是最正式的拥有权利的主体也是不完整的来解决:这种不完整使成员资格的积极形成成为可能。

期刊介绍： Issues in Legal Scholarship presents cutting-edge legal and policy research using the format of online peer-reviewed symposia. The journal’s emphasis on interdisciplinary work and legal theory extends to recent symposium topics such as Single-Sex Marriage, The Reformation of American Administrative Law, and Catastrophic Risks. The symposia systematically address emerging issues of great significance, offering ongoing scholarship of interest to a wide range of policy and legal researchers. Online publication makes it possible for other researchers to find the best and latest quickly, as well as to join in further discussion. Each symposium aims to be a living forum with ongoing publications and commentaries.
