The immense ideological significance that the city of Rome held since the times of the late republic corresponded until the 2nd century AD with the actual supremacy of the urbs within the Imperium Romanum: Rome was the place where socially and politically influential players and groups met; it was where they tried to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and agreement through complex ways of interaction. Until well into the imperial era the senatorial aristocracy considered the interacting presence of Rome as a major constant of their lifestyle. At least until the 1st century AD the emperors could not disengage themselves from the reference framework that the city was. Therefore, the forms and the reasons for aristocratic and imperial absence are of particular interest. Which role the absence of Rome played in the system of aristocratic interaction and which implications it had for politics and the society of the late republic and the early imperial era is the subject of the present study. Astrid Habenstein's work was awarded by the Historical Institute at the University of Bern with the prize for the best PhD-thesis in 2012. Der immensen ideellen Bedeutung, die der Stadt Rom seit der späten Republik zugemessen wurde, entsprach bis in das 2. Jhd. n. Chr. die reale Vorrangstellung der urbs im Imperium Romanum: In Rom trafen die gesellschaftlich und politisch maßgebenden Akteure und Gruppen aufeinander, hier versuchten sie in Form komplexer Interaktionen gegenseitiges Verständnis und Einvernehmen herzustellen. Bis in die Kaiserzeit betrachtete die Senatsaristokratie die interagierende Präsenz in Rom als wesentliche Größe ihrer Lebensführung. Zumindest im 1. Jhd. n. Chr. konnten sich auch die Kaiser nicht vom Referenzrahmen der Stadt lösen. Umso interessanter sind Formen und Anlässe aristokratischer oder kaiserlicher Absenz. Welche Funktionen die Abwesenheit von Rom im System der aristokratischen Interaktion hatte und welche Implikationen dies für Politik und Gesellschaft der späten Republik und frühen Kaiserzeit mit sich brachte, ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Studie. Die Arbeit wurde 2012 mit dem Preis des Historischen Instituts der Universität Bern für die beste Dissertation des Jahres 2012 ausgezeichnet.

Undocumented migration is a huge global phenomenon, yet little is known about the reality of life for those involved. Sans Papiers combines a contemporary account of the theoretical and policy debates with an in-depth exploration of the lived experiences of undocumented migrants in the UK from Zimbabwe, China, Brazil, Ukraine and Turkish Kurdistan. Built around their voices, the book provides a unique understanding of migratory processes, gendered experiences and migrant aspirations. Moving between the uniqueness of individual experience and the search for commonalities, the book explores the ambiguities and contradictions of being an undocumented migrant. With its insights into personal experiences alongside analysis of wider policy issues, Sans Papiers will have wide appeal for students, academics, policy-makers and practitioners.

Ésta es una macrohistoria de México, desde la perspectiva de los extranjeros que inmigraron al país y de los mexicanos que emigraron de él, basada mayormente en fuentes primarias impresas, fuentes inéditas y monografías. En el segundo volumen, ya establecida la libertad de cultos, se abre una atmósfera liberal que disminuye el problema de escoger entre inmigrantes sajones y latinos. Entre los primeros sobresale la colonización mormona; entre los segundos, la italiana. El tradicional recelo frente a los estadunidenses transforma la xenofilia en xenofobia. Además, la creciente salida de braceros a Estados Unidos confirma que México es un país de emigración y no de inmigración.

Noncitizens have always been present in liberal political philosophy. Often hard to situate within traditional frameworks that prioritise citizenship, noncitizens can appear voiceless and rightsless, which has implications for efforts towards global justice and justice in migration. This book proposes an alternative. Noncitizenism identifies an analytical category of noncitizenship. While maintaining the importance of citizenship, noncitizenship is another form of special individual-State relationship. It operates far from a State, at its borders, and within its territory, providing a tool for examining the continuity between sites of engagement and the literatures, questions, and conclusions relating to them. The book argues that an accurate liberal theoretical framework, and one which can address contemporary challenges, must acknowledge the political relationship of noncitizenship between individuals and States. This book is for students and scholars of political philosophy and for those interested in noncitizenship and how it can inform the response of liberal theory, citizenship, global justice, migration studies, political theory and policy work.

The last decade has witnessed a global explosion of immigrant protests, political mobilizations by irregular migrants and pro-migrant activists. This volume considers the implications of these struggles for critical understandings of citizenship and borders. Scholars, visual and performance artists, and activists explore the ways in which political activism, art, and popular culture can work to challenge the multiple forms of discrimination and injustice faced by "illegal" and displaced peoples. They focus on a wide range of topics, including desire and neo-colonial violence in film, visibility and representation, pedagogical function of protest, and the role of the arts and artists in the explosion of political protests that challenge the precarious nature of migrant life in the Global North. They also examine shifting practices of boundary making and boundary taking, changing meanings and lived experiences of citizenship, arguing for a noborder politics enacted through a "noborder scholarship."--
