چکیده

مقالۀحاضربه بررسی مقولۀ «نظارت زیستی» ونقش آن در تعیین گفتمان جغرافیای جهان امروز می‌پردازد. نویسنده با استفاده از رویکرد فرهنگی و بهره‌گیری از نظریات منتقدانی نظیر تیحاجآ جاناو میشل فوکو درپی پاسخ به این پرسش کلیدی است که چگونه مهاجرت به غرب به مسخ وجودی مهاجران و تبدیل آنها به شهروندانِ زیستیِ نامرئی درنظام اجتماعی حاکم منجر می­شود؟ از این ‌رو، میراثی از خسران (2006)، نوشتۀ کیرن دسای، مورد بحث قرار می‌گیرد تا با تمرکز بر موضوعاتی نظیر «اقدامات بیومتریکی»، «هوموساکر» و «شهروندی زیستی» چگونگی کارکرد ساختارهای نظارتی نوین را تبیین و تشریح کند. چنین استدلال می‌شود که مقولۀ سفر، علی‌رغم تداعی آن با فروپاشی دوانگاره‌های نژادی قومیتی، خلق جغرافیایی چندفرهنگیِ سیال و چالش کلان‌روایت‌های «هویت اصیل» و «ملیت»، خود به ابزاری در راستای کنترل اقلیت نژادی بدل‌ شده که با اعمال نظارت‌های بیومتریک، دوانگارۀ «خود/ دیگری» و مرزبندی استعماری را بیش از پیش پررنگ می‌کند.
