| Résumé : | Informed by the phenomenological approach to the study of social phenomena, this chapter examines the way migrants succeed in overcoming the macro-level hurdles to their spatial mobility such as the restrictive migration policies of many migrant-receiving countries. It argues that in order to grasp the power, logics and limitations of the state, it is important to look not only at the impact of its actions on its subjects, but also at how they respond to its instruments of governmentality, such as its policies. By analysing Filipino maternal and children migratory mouvements to Europe as well as Thai marriage migration in the region, the chapter sheds light not only on the governmentality of the state but also on the subjectivities and the agency it entails for its subjects. The cases of the Filipino and Thai migrants examined here suggest that the success of the state’s governmentality lies not in creating and reinforcing borders and control, but in understanding the way its subjects react to such disciplining, how it affects their lives (notably in the long term), and how they respond to it. |
