ABSTRACT In the drive to securitise migration, immigration detention has expanded rapidly across western democratic states. This article investigates the function and meaning that music workshops have for foreign nationals held in UK detention centres. Drawing on scholarship on affect and emotion, I consider how the workshops produce separate affective forms of time and space that stand apart from, but also shape the dominant structures and social discourses of the detention centre. For many participants, caught in a state of perpetual dislocation and the hierarchies of detention centre orderings, the workshops are a space to escape or make sense of place, investing space with an affectivity that provides a meaningfully felt counterpoint to the austerity of the detention every day. Nevertheless, as much as music is a resisting practice and a means of reinventing detention, it also functions as a technology of social control, perpetuating hegemonic orderings. Thus, a closer look at the performance space draws attention to the ways in which music merges with other biopolitical technologies in structuring and defining life in detention.

边境的应对与禁闭：英国移民拘留中音乐工作坊的情感政治

摘要 在移民安全化的推动下，移民拘留在西方民主国家迅速扩大。本文调查音乐工作坊对在英国拘留中心关押的外国人的作用和意义。借鉴关于情感和情感的学术研究，我考虑了工作坊如何产生独立的时间和空间的情感形式，这些形式与拘留中心的主导结构和社会话语不同，但也塑造了他们的主导结构和社会话语。对于许多陷入永久混乱状态和拘留中心秩序的等级的参与者来说，工作坊是一个逃离或理解地方的空间，投资具有情感的空间，提供有意义的感觉对立于每一次拘留的紧缩日。尽管如此，音乐既是一种抗拒的实践，也是一种重新发明拘留的手段，它也可以作为一种社会控制技术，使霸权秩序永久化。因此，仔细观察表演空间会引起人们对音乐与其他生命政治技术在构建和定义拘留生活方面的融合方式的关注。
