Geographical approaches to studying migration have recently been substantially enlivened by the introduction of social theory from a range of traditions – poststructural, feminist, new materialist, and postcolonial, amongst others. Tedeschi’s introduction of Gilbert Simondon’s notions of individuation, affect, and ethics offers an interesting and important addition to this growing movement to reconceptualising migration. In this commentary, I reflect on the potential of Tedeschi’s approach in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for border control and migration. I argue that while the focus on indivdiuation and individual-environment articulations is valuable, Tedeschi’s argument also problematically sets aside collective individuation, affect, and ethics as well as their potential for addressing precarity. Here lies the risk for reconceptualising migration studies – that researchers aim for ever more granular accounts of migration but perhaps lose sight of the politics and ethics of transforming systems and circumstances in ways that enhance migrant lives.

大流行时期的移民伦理

最近,由于从一系列传统中引入了社会理论,使地理研究移民的方法大为活跃,这些传统包括后结构主义,女权主义者,新物质主义者和后殖民主义者等。特德斯基(Tedeschi)对吉尔伯特·西蒙登(Gilbert Simondon)的个性化,情感和道德观念的介绍,为这种重新构想移民的运动提供了有趣且重要的补充。在这篇评论中,我回顾了Tedeschi的方法在COVID-19大流行中的潜力及其对边境控制和移民的影响。我认为,尽管关注个性化和个人环境的表达是有价值的,但特德斯基的论点也有问题地抛弃了集体个性化,情感和道德以及解决不稳定因素的潜力。
