“…Work attracts employees' attention to their tasks rather than the consequences of them, thus reducing the emotional burden that accompanies the task of forcibly removing immigrants. By discussing this effect, I explicate how 'affective labor' (Hardt 1999) is channeled into preparations for deportation and established as a key dimension of the Swedish deportation regime, in a phenomenon consistent with the observation that migration is increasingly governed at an affective level (Bissenbakker & Myong 2019).…”

“…This calls back to Michel Foucault's (2007) definition of biopower, the 'power over life,' administered through biopolitics, which, in turn, is a form of governance that rationalizes controlling a population. Labor practices make biopower apprehensible 'from below' (Hardt 1999: 98); accordingly, I consider what becomes visible in the work detention employees do that enables government of migration through affect (Bissenbakker & Myong 2019).…”

“…In the Nordic context, Nielsen and Myong (2019) similarly investigate the politics of Danish “white love” and how collective affect can come to figure as affective intervention “imbricated in exceptionalist politics and white nation-building processes” (Bissenbakker and Myong 2019, 421). Detailing the case of Liu Yiming, a young Chinese girl whose residency in Denmark was denied and—under public pressure—granted, Nielsen and Myong highlight the importance given to Yiming’s white Danish stepfather in the media reporting of the case as “being a good caring, and loving family men struggling to protect his family,” specifically as contrasted with “Yiming’s Chinese father’s apparent lack of interest in caring for her” (2019, 503).…”

“…In recent years, the significance of affect for the workings of government, politics and policy has been subject to increased attention, as exemplified in notions of 'affective governance' and 'emotional states' (Jupp, Pykett & Smith 2017;McKenzie 2017). Of significance to my orientation towards affect is, moreover, the increasing attention internationally and within Nordic scholarship on how migration is governed through affects such as love and intimacy, leading to the inclusion and exclusion of specific forms of intimate migration (Bissenbakker & Myong, 2019).…”
