Abstract Norway provides limited healthcare for irregular migrants, partly to make the country an unattractive option for ‘would-be refugees’. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews, this article discusses the use of healthcare to regulate migration and how irregular migrants make use of different tactics (creative access, selfcare, ignoring symptoms and raison d’être) to gain access to healthcare despite legal restrictions. The migrants’ tactics are adaptations to the micropractices of control and are about a diseased and politicised biology. They illuminate ways to care or not care for the body from a marginal position. This research, then, highlights how migrants work to restore a political life against the sovereign construction of them as mere biology. While some of these tactics are ways in which migrants can survive without healthcare rights in the short run, other tactics may contest and disrupt how the government is defining and treating irregular migrants in the longer run

不规则移民的政治生物学：

摘要挪威为非正规移民提供的医疗服务有限，部分原因是使该国成为“可能成为难民”的吸引力较小的选择。本文通过实地调查和访谈，讨论了如何使用医疗保健来规范移民，以及非正规移民如何在法律限制的情况下利用不同的策略（创意获取，自我保健，忽略症状和存在理由）获得医疗保健。移民的策略是对控制微观实践的适应，并且与疾病和政治化的生物学有关。它们阐明了从边缘位置看护或不看护身体的方法。然后，这项研究突出了移民如何工作以恢复政治生活，以反对他们纯粹是生物学的主权建设。
