,WEEK 2: MIGRATION IS ABOUT CROSSING BORDERS, AND PEOPLE WHO CROSS BORDERS
ARE USUALLY FRAMED AS PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE MANAGED THROUGH CONTROL
MEASURES. HOWEVER, IT IS EVIDENT THAT NOT EVERY MIGRANT IS ‘PROBLEMATIC’
AND UNWANTED. THIS WEEK’S LECTURES EXPLORE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, LEGAL AND
ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT SHAPE MIGRATION CONTROL AND RE STRICTIONS



LECTURE 1: WHO IS A MIGRANT?

Concepts:

• Migration- migrant, immigrant, emigrants
• Nation- citizen, non-citizen
• Categorisation of migration and migrants
• Problematization of migration and migrants

All knowledge systems are legitimate

• Co-learning- No one has monopoly of knowledge
• sharing examples- to foster a conceptualisation of knowledge that is predicated on human experience
• Address the gap between hegemonic discourses, concepts and lived experience

1. Introduce the concepts of migration, nation and state
2. Show how states construct borders and categorise people
3. Explore the problematizing of migrants
4. Show the complexities with categorizing people
5. Highlight the role of contexts in the in constituting migrants

Concepts of nation, state and migration

• Taiye Selasi TedTalk

• Nation “community of people whose members are bound together by some sort of solidarity, common
culture and national consciousness” (Seton-Watson 1977:1)

• State “…legal and political organization, with power to require obedience and loyalty from citizens” (Seton-
Watson 1977:1)

• Nation state: a form of organization

• people with a common identity, shared belief system- (nation)
• Within firm borders in a country- physicals boundaries (state)
• and a government- rules, laws, (state)

• Nationalism- idea that people within a nation are connected together

• Nation states are constituted through the construction of borders. Borders represent the sovereignty of
states. Borders are not just boundaries between territories, they shape our perceptions of the world, and
other people. (E.g Ritual of carrying babby)

Nation states and citizenship



3

, states have symbolic and material power to categorize people into people who have rights (citizens) and those
who do not have rights or claim (non-citizens) using political and legal regulations

In most cases those identified as non-citizens are people who have moved from another territory (migrants)

People who move into legitimate/illegitimate; useful/useless, deserving/undeserving beings.

Migration

Migration – movement of people across adminstrative borders resulting in change of residence.
• Borders within a country- internal migration
• Borders between countries-international migration

Length of residence- depending with country.

Going with the definition then 2nd or 3rd migrants is problematic because migration by strict definition entails
two things; • Crossing adminstrative borders • Changing residence

In most cases these are usually citizens or born in the countries where they are labeled migrants resulting in
‘othering’ and discrimination.

However, at times the label can be used for self-identification or/and to make visible ethnic minorities or
marginalised communities

Problematizing migration

• The crossing of these borders is thought of as trespassing. Therefore, those who cross borders pose a
problem to the idea of a stable nation-state. This has resulted in the problematizing of migration. The framing
of migration as a problem to be addressed as evidenced by the ‘crisis of migration’ discourse.

• The migrant thus becomes the political and symbolic threat to the sovereign state, purity, order and
stability- more so the undocumented or the asylum seekers.

Construction of borders

• The border is actually performed by the state in form of restrictions on the traveling body or the people who
move

• South African Immigration Act 2002
• Amendment 2015 - Up to October 2014 foreign children born in South Africa to permanent residents did
automatically get citizenship. This means these foreign children born prior to October 2014 are recognized as
citizens and those born after are not.

• What does this mean for siblings born of PR parents at different times (before and after October) 2014?

Deconstruction of borders and impact on migration

• The disintegration of the USSR led to the establishment of these 15 constituent republics as independent
republics in the Central Asia and Baltic regions.

Different kinds of migrants – Sarah Kunz

• Readings: Sarah Kunz and Age of Migration Chapter 2

• This paper brings in two types of migration that we are going to cover in this course;
