Contents and Abstracts
Preface: Migrations without Migrants and Migrants without Migrations
chapter abstract
Introduction: The Presence of Migrant-hood and the Absence of Politics
chapter abstract
The book argues 1) that the line between the "citizen" and the "migrant"
dissipates under close inspection as both subjects are effectively atomized
and consequently disempowered, regardless of their relationship to the
state; and 2) that to end the "condition of migrant-hood", people must
constitute themselves in sovereign spaces where they appear as particular
speaking subjects rather than as abstract citizens or animalized laborers.
Along with scholarly literature, We are All Migrants examines this issue in
reference to "foundational texts": i.e. books that have been continually
re-read and that underpin the shifting foci of cutting edge research. In
particular, it draws on the works of Homer, Aristotle, Marx, Tocqueville,
Beckett, Coetzee, Levi, Agamben, Foucault, and Arendt.
Part I: Atomization: The Ubiquitous Condition of Migrant-hood
chapter abstract
The first of the book's three sections examines the modern condition of
migrant-hood with respect to politics, economics, and society. It argues
that this condition emerges because entry into modern mass society requires
the denial of the particular speaking subject, regardless of whether one
inhabits the status of "migrant" and "citizen".
Part II: Activity: Atomization through Connection
chapter abstract
The second section argues that the emphasis on "connections" in today's
neoliberal world does not overcome the condition of migrant-hood, but
rather exacerbates it. This situation has arisen because the modes in which
we are connected - and seen most fully in educated laboring practices
supported by large-scale IT systems - still deny the particular speaking
subject because they draw upon the laborer's faculty of cognition as
opposed to the faculty of thinking. The former reaches certainty through
abstract logic, while the latter searches for meaning in the messy,
empirical world. People do not distinguish themselves as particular
subjects through their cognitive capacities and so atomization persists.
Instead, they can only appear as particular speaking subjects when they try
to persuade others of what they think ethically about the world around
them.
Part III: Action: The Presence of Politics and the Absence of Migrant-hood
chapter abstract
The third section argues that to overcome the condition of migrant-hood
people must be empowered to constitute their own sovereign spaces in which
they both disclose themselves as particular speaking subjects to each other
while deliberating on how they should inhabit the same space. It is through
thinking, judging, and persuading that people appear as their particular
selves in the very act of constituting sovereign space between them.
