Abstract
This dissertation demonstrates how the processes and institutions of contemporary globalization have fundamentally altered the relation of people and place to politics. Thus, The Figure of the Refugee contributes to debates about mobility and freedom in an era of globalization. It intervenes in key debates regarding the meaning of citizenship, the mutations of territorial sovereignty, and struggles for self-determination and non-state social organization. The principal contributions of the dissertation are its critique of inclusion as the goal of social movements, its exploration of the figure of the refugee as the novel form of political subjectivity produced within globalization, and the articulation of a politics that begins with mobility as a constitutive element of the contemporary world.
