Providing a radical new approach to labour migration, this book
challenges the prevailing legal and political construction of the
figure of the irregular migrant labourer, whilst at the same time
reimagining this irregularity as the basis of an alternative,
post-capitalist, sociality. The text draws on the work of
contemporary philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, and more specifically his
term 'ecotechnics', in order to examine how economic, political,
and juridical norms deny the full legal status of certain people
who are deemed to be irregular. This ostensible irregularity is
revealed as a regular feature of labour market practice, and a
necessary support for the conceptual foundations of capitalist
legality. As this book shows, however, this legality - and with it,
the technological subordination of life to the circulation of
capital as if this were the only possibility for our being in the
world - is not insurmountable. The book's consideration of the
figure of the irregular migrant labourer comes to provide an
alternative basis for reimagining our relationship not only with
migration and with labour itself, but ultimately with each other.
This powerful analysis of contemporary labour migration is of
considerable interest to legal and political theorists,
philosophers, labour lawyers, migration experts, and others with
theoretical, political, or policy interests in this area.
