Under neoliberal globalization, configurations of persons, legal regimes, and nation‐states transform. Some states explicitly employ a strategy of transnational nation‐building; for example, El Salvador is now an exemplary transnational state. With at least a quarter of the population living outside the national territory, the figure of the emigrant is significant in nationalist imaginaries. This article explores the process of imagining the transnation within one Salvadoran state institution—the Viceministry for Salvadorans Abroad—by examining upper‐and mid‐level state officials’ accounts of the relationship between emigrants and the nation‐state. State officials navigate and deploy global discourses around neoliberal development, on the one hand, and human rights for migrants, on the other hand, as they narrate their way to nationalist visions within the constraints of global political economy. The article looks comparatively at the ways officials frame the institution's central vision and role: under the right‐wing Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (ARENA) party administration in the late 2000s, and a few years later under the leadership of the leftist Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) party in the early 2010s. Under both administrations, viceministry officials navigated a fraught geopolitical field and worked diligently to engage the symbolic and material potentiality of cross‐border migrant citizens.

重新想象的社区:新自由主义,人权和萨尔瓦多跨性别人士的话

在新自由主义全球化下,人,法制和民族国家的格局发生了变化。一些州明确采用了跨国建国战略。例如,萨尔瓦多现在是一个典型的跨国国家。由于至少四分之一的人口居住在该国领土之外,因此在民族主义者的想象中,移民的人数非常重要。本文通过检查上层和中层国家官员对移民与民族国家之间关系的描述,探索了在一个萨尔瓦多国家机构(海外萨尔瓦多人总务部)中构想转变的过程。国家官员一方面围绕新自由主义发展,另一方面针对移民的人权,在全球范围内进行导航和部署,他们讲述了在全球政治经济约束下走向民族主义愿景的方式。这篇文章比较着眼于官员塑造该机构的中心愿景和角色的方式:在2000年代末期在右翼的Alianza Republicana Nacionalista(ARENA)政党领导下,几年后在左派Frente FarabundoMartípara la的领导下全国自由党(FMLN)在2010年代初期举行。在这两个政府的领导下,部委官员在一个充满生机的地缘政治领域中奔波,并努力工作以吸引跨境移民公民的象征性和物质潜力。在2000年代末期由右翼的Alianza Republicana Nacionalista(ARENA)政党领导,几年后,在左翼的Frente FarabundoMartípara laLiberaciónNacional(FMLN)政党的领导下于2000年代初。在这两个政府的领导下,部委官员在一个充满生机的地缘政治领域中航行,并竭尽全力地发挥跨境移民公民的象征性和物质潜力。在2000年代末期由右翼的Alianza Republicana Nacionalista(ARENA)政党领导,几年后,在左翼的Frente FarabundoMartípara laLiberaciónNacional(FMLN)政党的领导下于2000年代初。在这两个政府的领导下,部委官员在一个充满生机的地缘政治领域中航行,并竭尽全力地发挥跨境移民公民的象征性和物质潜力。
