| Summary: | The violence of the disciplinary system engendered by undocumented situation leads to a subjective revolution for undocumented women and puts emotional security and decision-making sovereignty in tension. It forces them to adopt new practices and behaviours in the public space. Here, politics profoundly disrupts the heart of hearts and can have extreme biographical repercussions. In and through the public arena, we see the emergence of a intimate discipline or an affective order. Government by fear, “becoming homeless” and “forced mobility” are some of the spatial devices that lead to the destruction of affective ties and materialise separation and exclusion. Illegalisation shapes and reshapes racial, gender and class hierarchies. The confrontation with a devalued objective and subjective position requires them to maintain a respectable femininity in the public arena. This leads to a daily struggle in which social, economic and emotional inequalities, as well as gendered dispositions and racial socialization, are reflected in their bodies and their strategies. But the collective tactics employed by these migrant women in the public space also illustrate the extent to which the spatialised forms of domination can sometimes leave gaps in subjectivation, and provide examples of the failures of these disciplinary mechanism. |
