Abstract
What is it to be alien? This article considers the debate concerning alienation/de-alienation launched by Hegel and revisited a half-century ago by Jacques Derrida. It examines the systemic reduction of legal rights of presence that migrants in contemporary Europe regularly encounter. Such experiences lead people to undergo a ‘loss of presence’ in the sense that they question their relationship with the world and the people around them. As Ernesto de Martino proposed, these occurrences constitute a ‘subjective alienation’ brought about by ‘objective alienation’. In this way, they impact one’s personal ontogeny, producing what I call a ‘habitus of migrancy’. As a contribution toward ethnographic theory, the article engages the role of long-term self-reflection in anthropological analysis.
外星人是什么感觉?本文考察了由黑格尔发起并在半个世纪前被雅克·德里达重新审视的关于异化/去异化的争论。它研究了当代欧洲移民经常遇到的合法存在权的系统性减少。这样的经历导致人们经历一种“存在感的丧失”，即他们质疑自己与世界和周围人的关系。正如Ernesto de Martino所提出的，这些事件构成了由“客观异化”带来的“主观异化”。通过这种方式，它们影响了一个人的个体发育，产生了我所说的“迁移习惯”。作为对民族志理论的贡献，本文在人类学分析中发挥了长期自我反思的作用。
期刊介绍：
Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
