“…The inequalities arising from this did appear to have 'cut too deep' (Marshall, 1950: 76) and in a way that represents a further degradation of the 'second-class citizenship' experienced by many (Edmiston and Humpage, 2016). Tonkiss and Bloom (2015) suggest that research exploring the exclusionary potential of social citizenship has tended to assume it is the absence or corruption of social citizenship that leads to inequities in resource and status. However, the findings presented in this article suggest that citizenship can be understood as an instituted process through which existing forms of exclusion and inclusion are produced and maintained by the State.…”

“…Contributions to this special issue also assemble a range of different positions regarding concepts of citizenship. In order to consider categories beyond citizenship, antonym categories such as 'noncitizenship' were suggested, and the relationship between citizenship and noncitizenship explored (Tonkiss and Bloom 2015; see also Tambakaki 2015, also see Milivojevic in this issue). Noncitizenship argues for a shift from invisibility and passivity to active engagement of migrant subjects, and is not to be confused with 'non-citizenship'.…”

This article aims to explore the multiple uses and consequences of different technologies and infrastructures in the context of migrations and how such uses and consequences inhabit and transform migrants' rights and subjectivities. It reviews relevant literature at the intersection of citizenship, critical migration studies and science and technology studies (STS), focusing in particular on the current debates underway within critical citizenship studies that examine how technologies and infrastructures shape the ability to acts of citizenship. By mobilizing insights from STS, we focus on how these political subjectivities are shaped by certain sociomaterial and epistemic practices. By introducing the notion of material citizenship politics, the article outlines a way to differentiate three different constitutive forms between technologies, infrastructures and citizenship in migrations. Technologies and infrastructures can (1) constrain acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes; (2) constitute contestation and participation over citizenship; or (3) enable and shape alternative acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes. As it provides a theoretical background to the special issue, the article also serves as the introduction to the issue.

“…For McNevin, political belonging is inherently dynamic, but specific forms can take on hegemonic, and therefore relatively static meaning. Citizenshipwhen understood as legal rights that are inherently tied to the territorial and imagined boundaries of the nation-statemay be perceived as such a hegemonic, yet relatively narrow, form of thinking about and a technique for policing the boundaries of political belonging (Johnson 2015;McNevin 2007McNevin , 2011Tonkiss and Bloom 2015;Tyler and Marciniak 2013). Despite its current dominant status, a 'broader perspective [on belonging] denies citizenship a natural or essential status and opens a conceptual avenue from which to approach it as a dynamic and contestable identity' (McNevin 2011, 16).…”

Prefiguration, strategic interaction and political belonging in undocumented migrant and solidarity movements

This article investigates how 'prefigurative politics' and strategic interactions of undocumented migrant and solidarity movements shape different forms of political belonging. The overall objective is to show that the latest insights in social movement theory may help us understand how, when and why ambivalent notions of political belonging are enacted within such activisms. First, I argue that we need a social movement perspective of 'prefigurative politics' to grasp the autonomous performances of undocumented migrant and solidarity movements, and second that we need to problematise the contexts of these movements as dynamic, strategic interactions of various players, rather than static environments. Using empirical illustrations from the 'We Are Here' (WAH) movement in Amsterdam, I show that it is exactly in the ambivalent performance of prefigurative and strategic action that such social movements establish their complex and changing relations to regimes of in-/exclusion, and notions of political belonging such as citizenship. The empirical material in this article is based on qualitative interviews, supplemented with evidence from newspapers and internet materials.
