- W2768540908 abstract "The introduction of the system of direct provision and dispersal (DPDS) to house asylum seekers in Ireland was the result of a number of processes, performing several functions, including the state's twin desires to deter the further arrival of asylum seekers and to control and manage those already within its borders. This, in turn, has to be understood in a wider social, economic, and historical conjuncture, including a long-standing restrictionary policy toward immigrants, a pre-existing institutional culture of confinement, an attempt to reassert sovereignty following the shift towards a global economy and the acceptance of European labor migration, and the operation of a Common Travel Area between Ireland and the UK. To understand such a complex constellation of processes it may be useful to see the in Bourdieu's terms, as a bureaucratic field of forces consisting of fractured interests operating on the basis of cooperative tension. ********** Like Socrates described by Plato, the immigrant is atopos, has no place, and is displaced and unclassifiable.... Neither citizen or foreigner, nor truly on the side of the Same nor really on the side of the Other, he [sic] exists within that bastard place, of which Plato also speaks, on the frontier between being and non-social Being.... Always in the wrong place, and now as out of place in his society of origin as he is in his own society, the immigrant obliges us to rethink completely the question of the legitimate foundations of citizenship and of relations between citizen and state, nation or nationality ... He forces us to discover what Thomas Bernard calls the state controlled thoughts and bodies that a very peculiar history has bequeathed us and which, despite all the humanist professions of faith, very often continue to prevent us from recognizing and respecting all the forms of the human condition. (Bourdieu 2004, xiv) ON MAY 25, 2015, IRELAND BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY IN WHICH the mass of the electorate voted for the introduction of same-sex marriage. This constituted a remarkable turning point in a country still dominated by Catholicism, in which abortion is still prohibited and divorce is difficult. Not surprisingly, gay marriage became the focus for much self-congratulation. It followed just over a year after the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny apologized on behalf of the to the women confined in Magdalen Homes: Today we live in a very different Ireland, with a very different consciousness and awareness. We live in an Ireland where we have more compassion, empathy, insight and heart (O'Brien 2014). What this article wishes to show, by contrast, is that underlying this hegemonic construction of Ireland as an open, tourist-friendly society characterized by the celebrated liberal values of Cead Mile Failte--a hundred thousand welcomes--is the harsh reality of capitalist production and exclusionary nationalism. This article will map the dark side of contemporary Irish society by examining the rationale for the introduction of the Direct Provision and Dispersal (DPD) system to house the growing number of asylum seekers who started arriving in the mid-1990s. Introduced in April 2000, the DPD was a new regime designed to manage what was perceived and presented as a burgeoning crisis of asylum seeker immigration. Housed in the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform, which has historically been responsible for both immigration and security, the asylum process involves three major administrative bodies: the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC), which deals with asylum applications; the Refugee Appeals Tribunal (RAT), which deals with appeals made by asylum seekers concerning their applications; and the Reception and Integration Agency (RIA), which is responsible for housing and maintaining asylum seekers while their applications are processed. Replacing the existing statutory provision with a departmental fiat, the DPD has entailed coercive dispersal of asylum seekers away from Dublin to regional centers across the country, the replacement of regular welfare (cash) payments with centrally allocated food aid and housing, and the administrative separation of asylum seekers from regular welfare claimants and recipients. …" @default.
