In the name there is always somebody else – the question today is: can we choose who this somebody else is?
- "(Nation States) have monopolized the authority to restrict movement vis-'a-vis other potential claimants, such as private economic or religious entities. Such entities may play a role in the control of movement, but they do so today at the behest of states” - John Torpey ‘Coming and going’ (1998)
What is in a name?!
- 1. Naming and identity regimes emerges in economic, military, colonial, socialwelfare, migratory contexts
- 2. Names are not a matter of choice – they are mandatory in modern nation states
- 3. The reference of the law is the body
- Identity Regimes seek to close the gap between body and document - see: Valentin Groebner “Who are you” (2007)
- 4. Identity is duplication – controlled duplication with registers
- Identity regimes are means of monopolizing the registers - Valentin Groebner “Who are you” (2007)
- 5. Identity systems are media systems changing as media change
