In “Toward a Borderland Ethics,” Pablo Ramirez argues that fiction that blends the United States and Latin America, self and other, and citizen and noncitizen demonstrates a “borderlands ethical stance” that produces “new unauthorized truths and relations outside the law and beyond national borders” (49). However, within those national borders and inside the jurisdiction of the law, the belief that only legal residents are rights-bearers means that to be “illegal” is to have no legitimate public voice or presence; imposing its own logic, the law’s rigid categories make some histories mute (50). Furthermore, because nationalism encourages us to situate ourselves in a determinate manner, the state makes people’s histories and relationships intelligible only through securing and bounding national space. Consequently, personhood can only happen through authorized attachment to nation. Although the nation-state thus reserves the right to police its boundaries and establish immigration policies, an ethical stance abolishes distinctions between documented and undocumented residents and asserts that all individuals possess, as Sara Radoff puts it, a “right to rights” regardless of citizenship (439). With this ethical approach, the polity of belonging is not attached to the classic nation state, but to moral personhood. And when fiction adopts this kind of ethical approach, it emphasizes the complexity of migrant experiences, reimagines the border, and disrupts political understandings of nationhood, proposing new ways to document practices of belonging.
巴勃罗·拉米雷斯(Pablo Ramirez)在《走向边疆伦理》(Toward a Borderland Ethics)一书中认为，将美国与拉丁美洲、自我与他人、公民与非公民融合在一起的小说展示了一种“边疆伦理立场”，这种立场产生了“新的未经授权的真相和法律之外、超越国界的关系”(49)。然而，在这些国家的边界和法律的管辖范围内，只有合法居民才是权利持有者的信念意味着“非法”是没有合法的公众声音或存在;法律的严格分类强加了自己的逻辑，使一些历史变得沉默。此外，由于民族主义鼓励我们以一种确定的方式定位自己，国家只有通过确保和限定民族空间，才能使人们的历史和关系变得可理解。因此，人格只有通过对国家的授权依附才能实现。尽管民族国家因此保留了监管其边界和制定移民政策的权利，但道德立场废除了有证件和无证件居民之间的区别，并断言，正如萨拉·拉多夫(Sara Radoff)所说，所有个人都拥有“权利的权利”，而不管国籍如何(439)。通过这种伦理方法，归属政体不再依附于经典的民族国家，而是依附于道德人格。当小说采用这种伦理方法时，它强调了移民经历的复杂性，重新想象了边界，破坏了对国家的政治理解，提出了记录归属感实践的新方法。

The centrality of objects to alternative universes can be most palpably surmised from the plethora of titles feeding the fantasy canon. From J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings to Alan Garner’s The Weirdstone of Brisingamen , C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , and Terry Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara to Jonathan Stroud’s The Amulet of Samarkand , countless fantasies ceaselessly devote special value to nonhuman materiality in thriving, sentient terms. The genre’s mobilization of things often takes place in synchronization with human work, the overall effect of which produces a sense of enchantment both within the text as well as in the reader’s mind. This article studies the link between human efforts and man-made objects in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy (1995–2000), whose three installments include The Golden Compass (the American title for the British Northern Lights ), The Subtle Knife , and The Amber Spyglass . It argues that meticulous expressions of practiced labor in the form of embodied tasks are key to the particular sense of magical wonder being worked out by Pullman. While much critical attention has been paid to the series’ human-animal relationships in order to understand its specific variety of enchantment, not to mention the role of philosophi cal and theological debates therein, a detailed study of human gestures in concert with the titular tools is conspicuously absent. Leaning on fresh theories of materialistic engagement hitherto unused in children’s literature research and literary research in general, the article lays bare the intricate mechanisms that undergird the trilogy’s tool-based activities. It creatively brings the insights of the British anthropologist Tim Ingold and American sociologist Richard Sennett to bear upon Pullman’s
