Work on affect has made significant contributions to how international relations (IR) scholars understand the high politics of international affairs, capturing political reactions to the horrific, the spectacular, and the exceptional. However, the turn to affect has been less inclined to offer comprehensive insight into the importance of emotion in banal or everyday international politics. The theory of ontological security can offer such insight as it attends to experiences of the everyday, particularly through the discursive production of identity. Identity might be disrupted at moments of spectacular or exceptional events that call it into question but is equally made and remade in the discursive production of everyday life. This research focuses on the latter, analyzing the reproduction of the international in the everyday through the vehicle of British soap operas Coronation Street and Emmerdale, both of which introduced storylines about migrant workers in the late 2000s. British soaps are designed to be culturally proximate and incorporate didactic messages. Analysis of soaps offers a layered and intersectional view of emotional reactions to international migration at the level of an abstracted individual and the level of the nation-as-viewer.

日常本体安全性：英国肥皂的情感与迁移

影响研究工作为国际关系学者如何理解国际事务的高级政治做出了重大贡献，引起了人们对恐怖，壮观和特殊事件的政治反应。但是，转而使用情感的意愿不太倾向于提供全面的见识，以了解情感在平庸或日常国际政治中的重要性。本体安全性理论在涉及日常经验时可以提供这样的见解，特别是通过身份的话语产生。身份可能会在引人质疑的壮观或特殊事件发生时被打断，但在日常生活的话语产生中会同样地被制造和重塑。这项研究着重于后者，通过英国肥皂剧《加冕街》和《埃默代尔》的作品分析了国际上的日常复制，这两个故事都介绍了2000年代后期的移民工人的故事情节。英国香皂的设计与文化接近，并融合了教学信息。肥皂的分析从抽象的个人层面和国家作为观察者的层面，提供了对国际移民的情感反应的分层和交叉视图。
