Abstract

In light of current experiences with migration-driven diversification, is it still conducive to think about the effects of international migration by advocating for immigrant integration? This article argues that there are key problems with European uses of immigrant integration logics that cannot be resolved through redefinitions or reappropriations of the term. Even highly refined notions of immigrant integration misconstrue the role and relevance of differences in diversity dynamics. Immigrant integration further risks concealing and perpetuating power dynamics and (colonial) hierarchies. These continue to shape the social relevance of differences. Analytically thinking about superdiversity directs us to paying more attention to disintegration, a notion that cannot be reduced and measured by way of individual or group performance. To be able to usefully engage with disintegration, we argue that it needs to be divorced from ideas about social fragmentation and social collapse. To do this, we draw on recent developments in the literature on conviviality to emphasise the relational practices, power asymmetries, and materialities that enter into negotiations of difference. Convivial disintegration aptly addresses continuously reconfiguring and uncertain social environments. Our article thus provides a deromanticised and enabling provocation for easing integration anxieties.

去浪漫化整合：论欢乐解体的重要性

摘要

鉴于目前移民驱动的多元化的经验，通过倡导移民融合来思考国际移民的影响是否仍然有益？本文认为，欧洲使用移民融合逻辑存在一些关键问题，这些问题无法通过重新定义或重新使用该术语来解决。即使是高度完善的移民融合概念也误解了多样性动态差异的作用和相关性。移民融合进一步冒着隐藏和延续权力动态和（殖民）等级制度的风险。这些继续塑造差异的社会相关性。对超多样性的分析思考引导我们更多地关注解体，这是一个不能通过个人或群体表现来减少和衡量的概念。为了能够有效地参与解体，我们认为它需要脱离关于社会分裂和社会崩溃的想法。为此，我们借鉴了有关欢乐的文献的最新发展，以强调进入差异谈判的关系实践、权力不对称和物质性。欢乐的解体恰当地解决了不断重新配置和不确定的社会环境。因此，我们的文章为缓解整合焦虑提供了一种去浪漫化的和有利的挑衅。和进入差异谈判的重要性。欢乐的解体恰当地解决了不断重新配置和不确定的社会环境。因此，我们的文章为缓解整合焦虑提供了一种去浪漫化的和有利的挑衅。和进入差异谈判的重要性。欢乐的解体恰当地解决了不断重新配置和不确定的社会环境。因此，我们的文章为缓解整合焦虑提供了一种去浪漫化的和有利的挑衅。
