内容摘要： 本文认为公民身份的概念化都是本国的。通过对在纽约的墨西哥移民的两个相关研究的民族志数据的研究，作者考查了公民身份曾经的意义，移民对公民身份权利要求中的流动性（不流动性）的主要含义。公民身份在当代移民接收国是一个有争议的概念。当美国再次辩论移民改革法案时，公民身份被看作最终的奖励，是只给予“最值得的人”的特权。移民权利组织在他们的讨论中鼓吹授予公民身份而且提升它的价值和重要性。然而，公民身份的意义的变化和操作的多变性意味着它不是包容或权利的保障。公民身份的概念可以同时批判或增强在公民和主体之间关系的新自由主义概念。

Abstract: This article argues that all conceptualizations of citizenship are vernacular. Drawing on ethnographic data from two related studies among Mexican immigrants in New York, the author examines the lived meaning of citizenship and the centrality of (im)mobility in migrant claims for the rights of citizenship. Citizenship is a contested notion in contemporary immigrant-receiving states. As the United States again debates immigration reform proposals, citizenship is cast as the ultimate prize, a privilege to be bestowed only on the most ‘worthy’. Immigrants rights groups advocate for the granting of citizenship and likewise elevate its value and importance in their discourse. Yet, its shifting meanings and manipulation mean that it is not a guarantee of inclusion or rights. The notion of citizenship can simultaneously critique and reinforce neoliberal notions of the relationship between citizen and subject.
