Description du projet
Observer à la loupe les lois sur la dénaturalisation
La naturalisation est la procédure légale par laquelle un pays fait d’un immigrant un citoyen et l’assimile avec ses droits et ses obligations aux autres citoyens de l’État. La dénaturalisation est la procédure inverse, lorsqu’un pays révoque la citoyenneté d’un immigrant naturalisé. Le projet Affects, financé par l’UE, étudiera les lois de dénaturalisation promulguées en tant que mesures de sécurité en Europe, en mettant notamment l’accent sur les politiques mises en place au Royaume-Uni et aux Pays-Bas. Le projet s’interrogera sur la dénaturalisation en tant que facteur de mise en danger de la citoyenneté démocratique. Il examinera également les politiques émotionnelles impliquées. Grâce à des recherches d’archives et à l’analyse du discours critique, les résultats du projet apporteront une contribution cruciale aux études sur la sécurité, dans lesquelles la citoyenneté reste une question peu étudiée.
Objectif
This project examines denaturalisation laws that have been enacted as a security measure in Europe, with a comparative focus on withdrawal practices in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Denaturalisation laws raise fundamental questions about what it means to be a citizen in and of Europe. How do security practices impact democratic processes and the organization of society? Does denaturalisation endanger democratic citizenship? The democratic and societal implications of the withdrawal of citizenship and the emotional politics involved are a particularly urgent concern in Europe today. Security concerns have led to an intense revival of public debates about the legitimacy of withdrawing citizenship and about its consequences, both for the individuals involved and the wider society. The research methods applied are archival research and critical discourse analysis. Empirically innovative as it collects archival material on the underexplored issue of denaturalisation, the project makes a timely intervention in current debates on security and citizenship. By studying norms of citizenship in relation to security practices, it makes a crucial contribution to security studies, in which citizenship remains an under-researched question. Its focus on emotions reveals affective relationships between citizenship and security. The project will take place at the Queen Mary University of London under the supervision of Prof. Jef Huysmans, who is a renowned scholar in critical security studies with a focus on the relationship between citizenship and security. The fellowship will significantly enhance my academic skills and career opportunities, allowing me to join a leading research centre in the social sciences after having worked in the humanities so far. It will allow the scope of my research to grow from a national context to an international and comparative framework, and establish me as an inter-disciplinary expert in citizenship and security.
