Abstract

Brexit has exacerbated the importance of understanding the affective dimension of citizenship for EU citizens residing in the southeast of England after the UK’s 2016 referendum on membership of the EU. The state’s emotional governance, manifested in citizenship policies and the naturalisation process, reveals a complex understanding of belonging and exclusion in the context of intra-EU mobility. In this essay I focus on how naturalisation requirements establish the emotions that new citizens should feel and the impact this has on their representation of citizenship. This analysis focuses on three out of thirty-four semi-structured interviews conducted in 2017 with EU citizens at different stages of the naturalisation process. Findings show that the political context emphasises the emotional elements of naturalisation in a context of political instability. I conclude that participants’ accounts reveal their resistance to the way the state attempts to govern through emotions. This resistance serves as an indicator of emotional governance in Brexit Britain.

英国脱欧后的情感公民:欧盟公民对情感治理的反应
2016年英国脱欧公投后,英国脱欧加剧了理解居住在英格兰东南部的欧盟公民公民身份的影响维度的重要性。国家的情感治理表现在公民政策和入籍过程中,揭示了在欧盟内部流动背景下对归属和排斥的复杂理解。在这篇文章中,我将重点关注入籍要求如何建立新公民应该感受到的情绪,以及这对他们的公民身份代表的影响。该分析侧重于2017年对处于入籍过程不同阶段的欧盟公民进行的34次半结构化访谈中的3次。研究结果表明,在政治不稳定的背景下,政治环境强调归化的情感因素。我的结论是,参与者的描述揭示了他们对国家试图通过情绪进行治理的方式的抵制。这种抵制是脱欧后英国情绪治理的一个指标。
