Title: | Undoing citizenship. Undocumented queer activism and practices of rights | Other Titles: | Desfazendo a cidadania. O atvismo de indocumentados queer e a prátca de direitos | Authors: | Pieri, Mara | Keywords: | Queer; Activism; Undocumented activism; Migrants; Activismo; Activismo dos sem documentos; Migrantes | Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | Centro Scalabriniano de Estudos Migratórios | Serial title, monograph or event: | REMHU : Revista Interdisciplinar da Mobilidade Humana | Volume: | 24 | Issue: | 48 | Place of publication or event: | Brasília | Abstract: | Within the emergence of migrant activism, the experience of UndocuQueers developed in San Francisco from 2011 challenges common assumption about practices in migrant movements through the intersections between queer and migrant claims. In order to understand their peculiarities, I will first analyse some of the salient characters of UndocuQueer activism. Then, I will focus on the web-series “Undocumented and awkward”, in order to discuss the intersectionalities proposed by the movement. In the third part, I will discuss how the series may be framed as examples of groundbreaking practices of citizenship. I will finally argue that UndocuQueer movement and its cultural production offer a ground-breaking example of political practices of rights and propose a promising perspective for a critical engagement with citizenship issues. No contexto da emergência do activismo migrante, a experiência do UndocuQueers, nascida em San Francisco em 2011, desafia ideias comuns sobre práticas de movimentos migrantes, através das intersecções entre reivindicações queer e migrantes. Para compreender estas peculiaridades, neste artigo procuro em primeiro lugar analisar algumas das características mais relevantes do activismo UndocuQueer. De seguida, concentrome na série online “Undocumented and awkward” (“Sem documentos e estranho”), de modo a discutir as interseccionalidades propostas pelo movimento. Na terceira parte, proponho-me a analisar a série enquanto exemplo de práticas inovadoras de cidadania. Finalmente, discuto como o movimento UndocuQueer e a sua produção cultural oferece um exemplo original de práticas políticas de direitos e propõnho uma perspectiva promissora para um engajamento crítico com questões de cidadania. |
