This paper examines immigration detention by looking at women’s experiences of confinement in a Portuguese detention facility. The empirical data—comprising participant observations, informal conversations and interviews with detained women—are read through an intersectional lens. This approach illuminates constructions of gender and sexuality in their mutual and contextualised articulation with other power relations (e.g., processes of racialisation and ethnicisation stemming from colonial histories), as well as the reconfiguration of these constructions by women themselves. Doing so also focuses on the intertwinement between power and resistance in daily life in detention. The women we met did not passively accept their situation, but rather struggled to make sense of, navigate and challenge the detention system. To this effect, they deployed multiple forms of agency, which also passed through the rejection, acceptance and reappropriation of hegemonic gendered constructions and their use in strategic ways to negotiate their positions vis-a-vis the system.

移民拘留中的性别、脆弱性和日常抵抗:葡萄牙被拘留移民妇女的生活经历
本文通过考察妇女在葡萄牙拘留设施中的监禁经历来研究移民拘留。经验数据——包括参与观察、非正式谈话和对被拘留妇女的采访——是通过交叉镜头阅读的。这种方法阐明了性别和性在与其他权力关系(例如,源自殖民历史的种族化和族裔化过程)的相互和语境化表达中的构建,以及女性自己对这些构建的重新配置。这样做也着眼于拘留日常生活中的权力与抵抗之间的交织。我们遇到的女性并没有被动地接受她们的处境,而是努力理解、驾驭和挑战拘留制度。为此,
