Abstract
Chapter Four of Visions of Invasion explains a different set of possibilities for technologies of visibility. The first two cases of the book examine how the manufacturing of alienhood in film coincides with the production of a settler colonial subjectivity to fit the U.S. constitutive citizenship paradigm. In this chapter, though, I describe how artist/activists are mobilizing nomadic assemblages—political networks that resists citizenship control using the same technologies of visibility often used in citizenship control. This chapter includes a discussion of “nomad thought”—a concept that guides the framing of nomadic assemblage—and considers the affirmative aspects of re-arranging technologies of visibility for the purposes of resisting techniques of migration control. This chapter also includes an analysis of Sleep Dealer, an activist film that challenges the US’s depiction of alienhood by assembling the same narrative technologies used in Hollywood’s alien invasion genre to tell a pro-migrant story.
