Abstract

By focusing on the notion of ‘coming out as undocumented’, this concept paper critically explores whether identity politics has the potential to transform dominant ‘illegalisation’ processes. It argues that although the coming out strategy has helped make marginalised communities more visible and audible, it does not necessarily help disrupt dominant stigmas. Drawing upon insights from Disability Studies and Fat and Queer Politics, it suggests that the celebration of stigmatised identities through coming out events does not necessarily disrupt and transform unequal systems. What is needed is a radical shift in focus: from identity celebration to political projects, from an ‘unliveable’ present to an inclusive tomorrow.

以无证身份出柜:身份庆典与政治变革
通过关注 "以无证身份出柜 "这一概念,本概念文件批判性地探讨了身份政治是否有可能改变占主导地位的 "非法化 "进程。论文认为,尽管 "出柜 "策略有助于提高边缘化群体的可见度和可听性,但并不一定有助于打破主流污名。文章借鉴了残疾研究和肥胖与同性恋政治学的观点,认为通过出柜活动来庆祝被污名化的身份并不一定能打破和改变不平等的制度。我们需要的是彻底转变关注点:从庆祝身份转变为政治项目,从 "无法生存 "的现在转变为包容的明天。
