ABSTRACT

Motivated by increasing Colombian immigration in Chile, this paper aims to understand the production of Colombian students attuned with the geopolitical discourses on immigrants in Santiago. Inspired by feminist geographers, it considers the nation as an affective device and geopolitics as the power asymmetries resulting from the encounter of different corporealities. Three cases are used to produce narratives about the affective geopolitics influencing Colombian doctoral students in Chile by analysing how their trajectories create unbalanced powers and affect how they live and re-signify their bodies and nationality. The results indicate that, by presenting themselves as Colombians, students are associated with stigmatised Colombian bodies, which include the notions that they are sexually reified, black, poor, and vulgar. At the same time, they try to dissolve the stereotype of the Colombian person in Chile and use their privileged positions as high-skilled graduate students to detach from the great Colombian immigrant flow.

摘要

在智利增加哥伦比亚移民的推动下，本文旨在了解哥伦比亚学生对圣地亚哥移民地缘政治话语的影响。受女权主义地理学家的启发，它认为国家是一种情感装置，地缘政治是不同物质相遇所导致的权力不对称。三个案例通过分析他们的轨迹如何产生不平衡的权力并影响他们的生活和重新定义他们的身体和国籍，来产生关于影响智利哥伦比亚博士生的情感地缘政治的叙述。结果表明，通过将自己呈现为哥伦比亚人，学生与被污名化的哥伦比亚身体联系在一起，其中包括他们被性物化、黑人、贫穷和粗俗的观念。同时，
