In countries of the Global North, migrant youth with a precarious legal status are not commonly seen as political subjects, but as subjects of politics. Against this background, this paper reflects on how migrant youth nevertheless manage to organize themselves and intervene in the dominant society, thereby emerging as unforeseen political subjects. Discussing acts of citizenship and autonomy of migration approaches, I argue for the use of a multifaceted concept of collective political subjectivation. Doing so sheds light on how migrant struggles exceed categorization as protest, moments of rupture, or imperceptible subversion. While drawing on Jacques Rancière's concept of “political subjectivation,” I go beyond his rather narrow focus by highlighting aspects of democracy, transgression, and in/visibility, as well as creative modes of identity-making, which could be further developed in the literature on political subjectivities and migrant struggles. This theoretical reflection builds on two qualitative case studies on migrant youth organizing in Germany and the United States that show the relevance of visible as well as relatively invisible politics. In both cases, I analyze two events that provide insight into this complex notion of political subjectivation: “Coming Out of the Shadows” in the United States and the counter-conferences in Germany.

德国和美国移民青年组织的政治主体化和可见/可见的政治

在全球北方国家,法律地位不稳定的移民青年通常不被视为政治主体,而是政治主体。在此背景下,本文反思了流动青年如何设法组织起来并干预主导社会,从而成为不可预见的政治主体。在讨论公民行为和移民自治的方法时,我主张使用集体政治主体化的多方面概念。这样做揭示了移民斗争如何超越了抗议、破裂时刻或难以察觉的颠覆的分类。在借鉴 Jacques Rancière 的“政治主体化”概念的同时,我通过强调民主、越界和不可见性等方面超越了他相当狭隘的关注点,以及创造身份的创造性模式,可以在有关政治主体性和移民斗争的文献中进一步发展。这种理论反思建立在两个关于德国和美国移民青年组织的定性案例研究的基础上,这些案例研究表明了可见和相对不可见的政治的相关性。在这两种情况下,我分析了两个事件,这些事件可以洞察这种复杂的政治主体化概念:美国的“走出阴影”和德国的反会议。这种理论反思建立在两个关于德国和美国移民青年组织的定性案例研究的基础上,这些案例研究表明了可见和相对不可见的政治的相关性。在这两种情况下,我分析了两个事件,这些事件可以洞察这种复杂的政治主体化概念:美国的“走出阴影”和德国的反会议。这种理论反思建立在两个关于德国和美国移民青年组织的定性案例研究的基础上,这些案例研究表明了可见和相对不可见的政治的相关性。在这两种情况下,我分析了两个事件,这些事件可以洞察这种复杂的政治主体化概念:美国的“走出阴影”和德国的反会议。
