Deviant cosmopolitanism: Transgressive globalization and traveling citizenship. - 394 p.

Advisers: Alison Renteln; Marita Sturken.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Southern California, 2006.

This dissertation examines four groups of "illegitimate" traveling figures vis-a-vis modern state surveillance in the context of globalization: undocumented domestic and sweatshop workers, global sex workers, transsexuals, and suicide bombing terrorists. While these subjects have historically been written outside the framework of "citizens" as signs of, cheap labor, fallen women, gender deviants, and despicable fanatics, I place these societal outsiders in traveling narratives to look at them as cosmopolitan traveling agents who can actually help us rethink about visions of citizenship and cosmopolitanism.

520 $a This dissertation examines four groups of "illegitimate" traveling figures vis-a-vis modern state surveillance in the context of globalization: undocumented domestic and sweatshop workers, global sex workers, transsexuals, and suicide bombing terrorists. While these subjects have historically been written outside the framework of "citizens" as signs of, cheap labor, fallen women, gender deviants, and despicable fanatics, I place these societal outsiders in traveling narratives to look at them as cosmopolitan traveling agents who can actually help us rethink about visions of citizenship and cosmopolitanism.
520 $a Proceeding through an interdisciplinary methodology that involves textual analysis and theoretical interpretation of literatures that traverse the fields of political theory, cultural studies, ethnography, globalization studies, postcolonial theory, feminist theory, queer/transgender studies, and terrorism studies, I read these subjects' illegitimate acts of travel as signaling an insistent desire in search of alternative sites of dwelling when situated in conditions where neither secure "dwelling" nor legitimate "traveling" is possible. By pointing to the ways in which the conventional notion of citizenship contains an inherent "dwelling trajectory" that confers formal rights and entitlements upon subjects but also reproduces a fixed social order of citizenship in several dimensions---national, gender, political, economic, and moral-legal---I argue that each group of the traveling agents transgresses one particular dimension of citizenship in the most salient way in marking alternative dwelling spots for themselves as legible denizens and (nonexistent) "citizens."
520 $a I call these transgressive citizenship imaginaries, "traveling citizenship," including: tactical citizenship (undocumented domestic/sweatshop workers), which re-scripts the "political" dimension of citizenship; tainting citizenship (global sex workers), which subverts the "economic" dimension; morphing citizenship (transsexuals), which crosses over the "gender" dimension; and deathly citizenship (terrorists), which digresses from the ultimate, "moral-legal" dimension. Traveling citizenship functions as an internal abject presence inside democracy from which democracy cannot part, while slowly and tactically expanding and reshaping our interactive cosmopolitan horizons in the public sphere. The challenge for democracy is to empower these traveling figures with rights that would provide them with a sense of secure "dwelling," thus also transforming the way they do "travel."
