This book offers a radical new approach to labor migration by challenging the prevailing legal and political construction of the irregular migrant laborer and reimagining this irregularity as the basis of an alternative, post-capitalist, sociality. It draws on the work of Jean-Luc Nancy to examine how economic, political, and juridical norms deny the full legal status of certain people deemed to be irregular, revealing this irregularity as a regular feature of labor market practice. The book provides an alternative basis for reimagining our relationship with migration and labor, and with each other, and is of interest to legal and political theorists, philosophers, labor lawyers, migration experts, and others with theoretical, political, or policy interests in this area.

Providing a groundbreaking new perspective on labor migration, this book challenges the conventional legal and political construction of the figure of the irregular migrant laborer, while simultaneously reimagining this irregularity as the foundation of an alternative, post-capitalist, sociality. The text draws on the work of contemporary philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, particularly his concept of 'ecotechnics,' to examine how economic, political, and juridical norms deny the full legal status of certain individuals deemed to be irregular. This ostensible irregularity is revealed as a regular feature of labor market practice, and a necessary support for the conceptual foundations of capitalist legality. As this book demonstrates, however, this legality – and with it, the technological subordination of life to the circulation of capital, as if this were the only possibility for our being in the world – is not insurmountable. The book's consideration of the figure of the irregular migrant laborer provides an alternative basis for reimagining our relationship not only with migration and labor, but ultimately with each other.
This powerful analysis of contemporary labor migration holds significant interest for legal and political theorists, philosophers, labor lawyers, migration experts, and others with theoretical, political, or policy interests in this area.
