Abstract
ABSTRACT Restrictions on assembly, all of which disproportionately target Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, demonstrate that the freedom to assemble depends on state-defined temporal, behavioral, and spatial boundaries of political practice. This essay analyzes how the migrant caravans organized by Pueblo Sin Fronteras (PSF) push against the state-derived boundaries on assembly. Specifically, it focuses on two tactics deployed by the caravans: (1) using the term caravan and caravana to describe border crossing, and (2) media practices that turned undocumented border crossing into border refusal. These tactics contested the nation-state sovereignty required to mark its jurisdiction, and thus, to decide on the correct place and form of politics. In the end, the essay argues that the caravan expanded what it means to freely assemble by turning undocumented migration into protest. Communication scholars should pay attention to this expansion because it illuminates alternate ways of being political that push against the legacy of nation-state sovereignty and colonization.
摘要对集会的限制，所有这些都不成比例地针对黑人、原住民和有色人种，表明集会自由取决于国家定义的政治实践的时间、行为和空间边界。本文分析了Pueblo Sin Fronteras（PSF）组织的移民商队是如何在集会上突破国家边界的。具体而言，它侧重于大篷车部署的两种策略：（1）使用大篷车和大篷车一词来描述越境，以及（2）将无证越境变成拒绝越境的媒体做法。这些策略对民族国家主权提出了质疑，民族国家主权是标记其管辖权所必需的，从而决定了正确的政治位置和形式。最后，文章认为，商队通过将无证移民转变为抗议，扩大了自由集会的意义。传播学学者应该关注这一扩展，因为它阐明了反对民族国家主权和殖民化遗产的政治方式。
