In this article, we examine the practices of survival that Rohingya and Syrian refugees perform as they confront multiple forms of violence resulting from their forced displacement in India and Turkey, respectively. We consider these practices as they are performed in the everyday and reflect on how they expand existing debates in social reproduction feminism. Social reproduction refers to those practices that are essential for the everyday and generational maintenance of life. First, we show that for people living in conditions of prolonged displacement and violence, practices of social reproduction become a matter of survival that entails "making secure" amid the insecurity of displacement. Second, we demonstrate that these practices highlight the role of not only the welfare state but also the security state for social reproduction. We propose the concept of the "(in)securitization of social reproductive capacities" to examine how state and non-state actors hinder social reproduction as much as they support it and how displaced people negotiate with this. We conclude that survival, including the ways in which refugees cope with insecurity, care, and sustain their lives, can be a meaningful tool to pluralize understandings of social reproduction, bridging insights from feminist political economy, critical migration, and security studies.

ABSTRACTMobilizing a distinction between “politics,” understood as the socio-symbolic reality as it is already acknowledged, and “the political,” which instead has to do with the establishment of a particular social order that delineates what counts as politics in the first place, this article considers the COVID-19 global pandemic to assert that care is not only about politics or doing politics differently. Rather, following the work of Estelle Ferrarese, Tiina Vaittinen, Hanna-Kaisa Hoppania, and Kristin Cloyes, the article highlights three aspects of care that are political in the most robust sense: (1) the ways in which care is always implicated in a social order, (2) the ongoing challenge posed to any order by the vulnerability of our material being, and (3) the agonizing and iterative process of disagreeing over different versions of care. This article then considers these three points in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic to argue that this global health crisis has clearly revealed these aspects of care and to conclude that care is, therefore, undeniably political.KEYWORDS: CarepoliticspoliticalvulnerabilityCOVID-19 pandemic AcknowledgmentsThe author wishes to thank the three peer reviewers for invaluable feedback on this manuscript, and Ben Woolhead and Marysia Zalewski for exceptional editorial support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 The term “Western neoliberalism” is quite broad, and while there is certainly a great deal of variation between countries, institutions, and social arrangements that can fall under the “Western neoliberal” umbrella, I here employ the term to refer to societies that are fundamentally structured by notions of individualism, individual responsibility, and a valuation of the market over other aspects of social life (Miller Citation2021). This use of “neoliberalism” also corresponds to the work of Hoppania and Vaittinen (Citation2015), on which I draw heavily in this article.2 Ferrarese (Citation2016b) makes the related point that vulnerability seems to be decidedly unpolitical. Her argument complements the points developed here, given that care, as defined above, is that which responds and tends to our vulnerability.3 For example, in Canada, the COVID-19 mortality rate was significantly higher for racialized populations (31 deaths per 100,000 population) compared to the non-racialized and non-Indigenous population (22 deaths per 100,000 population) … Black people had the highest age-standardized COVID-19 mortality rate (49 deaths per 100,000 population), followed by South Asians (31 deaths per 100,000 population), and Chinese (22 deaths per 100,000 population). The mortality rate ratio between Black people and the non-racialized and non-Indigenous population was more than two times higher (2.2 times) (Gupta and Aitken Citation2022).Similar trends were seen in the United States (CDC Citation2021).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMaggie FitzGeraldMag

Gender as a concept is essential for understanding British/English national identity. Feminist and queer scholars note that gender and sexuality are central to politics, yet frequently omitted from political analysis. Some scholars have highlighted the hegemonic masculinities that underpinned Brexit campaigns, but the role of gender in the construction of national identity in Europe has not been analyzed in depth. Combining the literature on national and European identities with feminist theories of gender and nationalism, I outline four discourses of Anglo-British exceptionalism: (1) British sovereignty and military power; (2) the British as defenders of liberty; (3) Britain as a global trading nation; and (4) England as a white Protestant “island nation.” Constructed in relation the European “Other,” these discourses are underpinned by gender-based hierarchies that intersect with class, race, and sexuality. These findings demonstrate the need for feminist and gender analysis not only of the UK’s relationship with the European Union (EU) but also more broadly within political science and EU studies.
