Using the experiences of mainland Chinese marriage migrants in Singapore as an example, the paper explores the notion of 'transgovernmental friction' and how it reinforces state boundaries, reshapes body politics, and animates waiting as an active practice that transforms migrant subjectivities. Locating the workings of governmentality, mobility, and space in the domain of transnational marriage and family, the paper brings to light the friction and crevices of governmental processes across borders and the embodied politics of im/mobility. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 33(2), p. 229-246 | Publisher: | Sage Publications Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1472-3433 0263-7758 |
