In an era of increased mobility, naturalization is crucial for shaping international legal and political identities. It is therefore important to move beyond the legal definition of naturalization in order to comprehend its affective and social meaning. This article develops the notion “affective naturalization” by combining the literature of affect and politics with insights from economic anthropology and by focusing on the varied practices of citizenship conferment. Through different modes of naturalization, citizenship can be offered as a gift, it can take the form of a birthright, it may be obtained as a prize that one has achieved, and it can occasionally be bought. The specific practice of conferment changes the identity of the citizenship/“thing” that is being acquired, the roles of the giver and the receiver as well as the interrelation between them. The different practices of conferment thus reflect as well as constitute social relations in differing ways.

情感归化：公民授予的实践

在流动性增加的时代，入籍对于塑造国际法律和政治身份至关重要。因此，重要的是要超越归化的法律定义，以理解其情感和社会意义。本文通过将情感和政治文献与经济人类学的见解相结合，并通过关注公民授予的各种实践，发展了“情感归化”的概念。通过不同的入籍方式，公民身份可以作为礼物提供，可以采取与生俱来的权利的形式，可以作为一个人获得的奖品获得，也可以偶尔购买。授予的具体做法改变了正在获得的公民身份/“事物”的身份，给予者和接受者的角色以及他们之间的相互关系。因此，不同的授予实践以不同的方式反映和构成社会关系。
