Dismiss Citizenship: depoliticized subjects in differential inclusion and exclusion contexts

Abstract

This work proposes an exploration on political deactivation processes affecting delegitimated subjects, specifically, migrant people in social relegation contexts. To do so, we will review the processes of constructing differential citizenship which includes several positive devices. Furthermore, it will be necessary to describe other hard deactivation devices, which involve serious difficulties for political legitimacy access. Finally, we will formulate some questions about the possibilities of emergence for political subjectivities from the margins. Thus, the ethnographic work aims to overcome the approaches reproducing narrow versions of politics, showing the diversity of everyday areas where citizenship, political struggles and rights claims are declined and resignified.
