Although regulating migrant labourers has been explored as one of the primary mechanisms of neoliberal governance, the 'actually existing' workings of this neoliberal migrant regime and in particular its everyday encounters with locally based ethical agents are relatively unexplored. On the one hand, I draw attention to how neoliberal subjectivities are materialised in the disciplinary migrant labour regime in Shenzhen, China. The reconciliation of neoliberalism and autocratic power has resulted in the hyper-exploitation of migrant workers. On the other hand, I explore how lived enactment of Christian theo-ethics in the everyday praxis of care and justice for marginalised migrant workers can open an ethical space that reconstitutes the subjectivities normalised by autocratic and neoliberal agendas. I argue that theo-ethics not only negotiates but also co-constitutes neoliberal governance by either ameliorating neoliberal subjectivity or drawing on neoliberal logics per se; regardless, it creates possibilities of more hopeful spaces and hybrid subjectivities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
